Taylor / HR-LTD
"I want something stronger and that allows me to express myself."
Have you ever felt this way, whether you're someone who performs on stage or someone who deeply loves music?
In order to truly convey the passion that is put into the sound, a mass-produced instrument may not be enough.
It's not easy to find the right guitar to reflect your unique emotions.
But everyone should experience it.
The moment you encounter a certain instrument, your heart is captivated beyond reason.
Beyond the price and specs, this guitar has a presence that will make you stop in your tracks and think, "I have to have this guitar."
The Taylor HR-LTD is the one that will give you that experience.
The HR-LTD, which was announced at the 2003 NAMM SHOW, is a rare model with only 22 units produced.
The sharp Florentine cutaway, not found on regular Taylor models, emphasizes the beauty of the design, giving it a sculptural presence that transcends that of an instrument.
The top is made of Sitka spruce and the back and sides are made of maple.
While it has the clarity and definition that is characteristic of Taylor, 22 years of use have allowed the wood to breathe, resulting in a supple, deep sound.
While maintaining its crispness and clarity, the sound has become mellowed over time, giving the player greater freedom of expression.
And visually, this model is special.
Deep red finish on back and sides
Furthermore, the "fire pattern" decoration on the body is created by combining different types of wood like marquetry, and it is as if it captures the moment when a flame bursts into flames.
The design is unforgettable at first sight and seems to symbolize the passion of its owner.
The pickups have been customized to the current Expression System 2 (ES2), boasting reliable reproduction for live performances and recordings.
Whether you're unleashing your sound on stage or enjoying it at home, this guitar delivers uncompromising quality.
This HR-LTD has a unique story.
In one overseas music store, this guitar was not for sale but was displayed in a glass case as the "face of the store."
The sight of it standing there bathed in light moved people's hearts not with words but with its very presence.
The story of how the owner finally acquired it after many negotiations shows that this guitar is not just "an ordinary instrument."
The watch we are introducing today is one of only 22 examples of this legendary model.
There are very few opportunities for them to be released onto the market, and there is no guarantee that you will find another one.
It can be said that this is a guitar that will only be meaningful to those who seek a ``personal symbol'' in its sound, design, and existence itself.
