"Taylor seizes opportunity from The Last Of Us popularity, crafting a unique acoustic guitar resembling the one wielded by Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey in the hit HBO show."
In a bleak future, a fungal apocalypse has taken over the world, and society crumbles. Yet, here you are, strumming away on a top-tier acoustic guitar, crafted by none other than Taylor. Sound familiar? If you're hooked on HBO's gripping drama, The Last of Us, then you've seen Pedro Pascal's Joel Miller and Bella Ramsey's Ellie Williams living this very life.
Guess what? Taylor has unveiled an exact replica of the 314e Grand Auditorium cutaway you see them playing on the show. Yes, you can make your doomsday prepping musically inclined too! It's a world ravaged by a fungal infection, but perhaps a tube of ointment resides in the guitar case... or perhaps not.
Tim O'Brien, Taylor's VP of marketing, draws a parallel between Taylor's guitars and the hit show that has captivated many of us. He expresses, "The Last of Us is a tale of resilience, connection, and finding beauty amid harsh realities - themes that echo the emotional expression a Taylor guitar offers players." It's an honor, indeed, for Taylor to partner with HBO and Sony Pictures Consumer Products to bring this iconic instrument to fans and musicians alike.
The Last of Us doesn't disappoint in the resilience department. There are solid tonewoods everywhere – a solid Sikta spruce top, solid sapele back and sides, and a satin-smooth finish. Under the hood, you'll find V-Class bracing – this guitar will certainly sing! There are no electronics, but who needs them when there's a ruined planet to play on?
Other Taylor details are present and accounted for. That includes a West African Crelicam ebony fingerboard, a tropical mahogany neck, and decorative elements to appeal to collectors. The moth inlay at the third fret reflects the series' themes of rebirth and beauty amid catastrophe. It also makes this an appealing choice for a Silence of the Lambs super fan.
The Last of Us 314e is available now and is built to order. Delivery is expected within six to ten weeks. Head to your local dealer to place your order, and it will cost you a cool $2,799. Head over to Taylor Guitars for more details!
