The Gallery Series, conceived by Bob Taylor and introduced in 2000, married visual artistry, ultraprecise cutting technology and innovative inlay materials with the goal of producing a new limited-edition model every few months featuring inlay art based on an annual theme. The series launched with the Living Jewels guitar, of which only one hundred models were produced. The Dreadnought showcased koi fish inlays winding down the fretboard and onto the top, encircling the soundhole. A vibrant aqua-blue color and a maple/spruce body gave the impression of koi swimming underwater. Bob Taylor gifted a Living Jewels guitar to Taylor Swift, who loved it so much that she purchased a second model, which became one of her preferred stage guitars and later reappeared during her Eras Tour.

This custom model pays homage to the original Living Jewels guitars, boasting the same visual aesthetic and inlay artistry with Gold Label series alterations. This deep-bodied square-shoulder Dreadnought acoustic-electric features back and sides of solid Honduran rosewood paired with a Sitka spruce top, yielding a richly textured voice with clear trebles, rumbling lows and remarkable warmth across the frequency spectrum. Players can expect a lush, complex overtone response along with enhanced volume, sustain and resonance thanks to the fanned V-Class interior bracing and long-tenon Action Control Neck, which also offers precise, fast string height adjustments so you can dial in the perfect feel. Standout appointments include gold tuning machines, grained ivoroid binding and ebony bridge pins with green abalone dots. The guitar includes L.R. Baggs Element VTC electronics and ships in a British cocoa bronco deluxe hardshell case.
