Whether you're exploring Jacob's inventive DAEAD tuning or charting your own musical path, this signature model promises to be a source of ongoing inspiration.
5-String Acoustic Guitar for New Sonic Possibilities
At the heart of this Jacob Collier signature model is its unconventional five-string configuration. Inspired by the artist's own custom acoustic, this unique string setup opens up a new sonic universe—especially when paired with Jacob's preferred DAEAD tuning. This tuning utilizes a combination of 4ths and 5ths, making chord shapes more intuitive for beginners and unlocking new harmonic landscapes for seasoned players. The Grand Concert body provides a clear, focused response that's ideal for this alternate tuning, helping every note ring with intention and clarity. Whether you're replicating Collier's signature approach or inventing your own, this five-string design makes it all feel natural and musical.
Select Grade Hawaiian Koa Body With Taylor V-Class Power
The Jacob Collier Signature 5-string is crafted entirely from select-grade Hawaiian koa—a tonewood revered for its striking beauty and sonically balanced character. The koa top, back and sides exhibit rich variegation that ensures each guitar looks as unique as it sounds. With Taylor's V-Class bracing architecture inside, this Grand Concert guitar unlocks impressive volume and sustain. You'll notice clear, articulate highs and a focused low end that thrives in ensemble settings. The V-Class design also improves intonation across the fretboard, so chords sound sweeter and notes ring with more purity. Whether fingerpicking or strumming, this body style pairs beautifully with koa's mellow yet articulate tone, giving you a refined voice for your most expressive performances.
Studio Quality Sound With LR Baggs Element VTC Electronics
When it's time to plug in, the Jacob Collier Signature 5-string delivers a seamless amplified experience thanks to the LR Baggs Element VTC electronics.

Volume and tone controls are discretely mounted inside the soundhole, preserving the guitar's elegant exterior while offering intuitive, responsive control. Whether you're onstage, in the studio or recording from home, the Element VTC system ensures that your five-string voicings are heard exactly as intended—with warmth, depth and clarity. Combined with the naturally resonant koa body and articulate Grand Concert shape, this pickup system makes the Jacob Collier Signature 5-string an excellent choice for serious performers and session players alike.
