Taylor 424ce LTD Urban Ash - Sunburst

Urban Wood: Giving City Trees a Second Life

Traditionally, guitar tonewoods have been sourced from all over the world, from natural forests in North, Central and South America, West Africa, India, Europe and Australia, for example. While we hope to continue sourcing from such places for many decades to come, Taylor has also been exploring the prospect of sourcing wood from our regional own backyard here in Southern California. We’re pioneering the use of high-quality, end-of-life city trees. Some species are well-known to luthiers, while others are being introduced to the music community for the first time. All are excellent tonewoods. Think of this sourcing approach as a farm-to-table model for guitar making that hopefully will set an example that may take some pressure off of forests elsewhere.
