Taylor 2025 Catch Custom C12e Grand Concert, Sinker Redwood / Bocote #31 Harvester

The Taylor 2025 Catch Custom C12e "Harvester" Grand Concert is a true masterpiece of craftsmanship, blending premium tonewoods, cutting-edge design, and impeccable playability into one extraordinary instrument. As part of an exclusive limited run, this highly collectible acoustic-electric guitar is built for players who demand the finest in tone and aesthetics.

Catch Custom: Exclusive Taylor Masterpieces for Premier Dealers

On the eve of the 2015 NAMM Show, Taylor hosted an exclusive pre-show event at The Catch restaurant in Anaheim, California, unveiling some of its most exceptional and innovative guitar designs. These heirloom-quality instruments were made available only to Taylor’s most trusted dealers, produced in extremely limited quantities to maintain their rarity and prestige. Over time, the event became a highly anticipated NAMM tradition, eventually outgrowing its original venue but preserving the Catch Custom name as a tribute to its origins. Crafted from exquisite tonewoods and adorned with Taylor’s most daring finishes, these guitars truly live up to their reputation—each one is a once-in-a-lifetime catch!

Exceptional Tonewoods & Sonic Brilliance

At the heart of the Harvester lies a Sinker Redwood top, a tonewood revered for its warmth, responsiveness, and cedar-like articulation with added power. This wood, sourced from century-old logs reclaimed from riverbeds, offers both history and depth in its tone. Bocote back and sides add a striking visual element with their swirling grain patterns while delivering rich bass, articulate mids, and shimmering highs. The pairing of these two tonewoods results in a guitar that is both lively and nuanced, perfect for intricate fingerstyle playing and expressive lead work.

The Grand Concert body shape enhances the guitar's clarity and balance, making it ideal for solo performers and recording artists. Designed for comfort and precision, it offers a focused projection with an intimate tonal character that shines in both fingerpicking and light strumming.

Advanced Bracing & Playability

Equipped with Taylor's revolutionary V-Class bracing, the Harvester provides increased sustain, volume, and harmonic alignment, allowing each note to ring with exceptional clarity. This innovation improves the guitar’s responsiveness and ensures perfect intonation across the fretboard.

The Neo-tropical Mahogany neck is shaped for effortless playability, complemented by a West African Crelicam Ebony fingerboard with elegant mother-of-pearl 900 Series inlays, a nod to Taylor’s classic aesthetic from the early 2000s. A comfortable 24.88" scale length and 1-3/4" nut width make it a dream for intricate fretting and expressive bends.

Premium Appointments & Electronics

Visually, the Harvester is breathtaking, with Indian Rosewood binding, a custom single-ring rosette, and a Shaded Edgeburst finish that enhances the depth of its natural wood grain. Gotoh 510 Antique Gold tuners ensure precise tuning stability while adding a touch of luxury.

For amplified performances, Taylor’s Expression System 2 (ES2) electronics capture every nuance of the guitar’s rich, organic tone. Whether on stage or in the studio, this pickup system ensures a natural and dynamic plugged-in sound.
