GIBSON J-180 - “13”
This guitar recreates a Taylor acoustic guitar used by the singer during her 2009 tour Fearless. Her current Eras tour, revisits each album in Swift's catalogue, including Fearless. The replica instrument was recreated by Taylor's parents using super glue and rhinestones.
TAYLOR GRAND SYMPHONY - KOI
The Living Jewels Series was part of Taylor's Gallery Series and consisted of three sets of 100 guitars each. The three sets depicted very ornate and beautiful inlay work based on Davies' designs. One set featured artwork depicting sea turtles, another featured Gray Whales, and the third featured Koi Fish.
It is unknown where Swift obtained her Living Jewels guitar, but she started using it around 2011-2012 while out on the Speak Now Tour to perform hits like "Last Kiss." She brought the guitar out again in 2022 for the music video "Anti-Hero." After that, it was resigned to the Country Music Hall of Fame until it was removed in 2023, presumably for use on the Eras Tour where it was used to perform several songs during the set. Swift has been a longtime user of Taylor Guitars and even has a signature guitar through the iconic brand. So, it is very possible that she may have gotten her Koi Fish Acoustic directly from Taylor rather than on the second-hand market.
GIBSON J-180 - Lover Dusty Pink / Lover Lavender / Lover Frost Blue
Perhaps the most iconic Eras Tour guitar is Swift’s Lover era acoustic. Or should we say “acoustics”, because this was supplied in two slightly different pastel shades. This explains why fans ended up debating whether the guitar she was playing was pink or purple. “There were indeed two distinct colours made for her Eras tour, a dusty pink and a light lavender, so she has one of each,” Mat Koehler said.
“We made a pastel pink one with a matching headstock and unique body artwork for her Lover tour [this ended up being cancelled due to the Covid pandemic]. It was a custom mixed colour, and the target was a dusty pink with some purple undertones. That is what we used for her Eras pink as well. But we did other pastel colours for her including a light lavender finish.”
GIBSON Hummingbird
This guitar is a stock Heritage Cherry Sunburst model with an iconic hummingbird and floral pickguard, fitting perfectly with the themes of her Folklore and Evermore eras. Most of the guitars Taylor uses on The ERAs Tour have been heavily customised and personalised, but there’s one guitar that has the distinction of being stock – a Cherry Sunburst Gibson Hummingbird. This instrument is pretty much identical to the guitar you could walk into a store and buy today – including that iconic hummingbird motif on the pickguard.
GIBSON J-45 - Black Sparkle
While the J-180 might be her preferred instrument, The Eras Tour also sees Taylor playing a Gibson’s J-45 model in a black sparkle finish. As with pretty much all of Taylor’s guitars though, this J-45 is certainly a custom build, given that they use non-standard finishes.
TAYLOR - Presentation PS24
If there’s one guitar that we think might be Taylor’s most sentimental instrument, it’s this one – this stunning guitar has a flamed koa body with a distinctive matching soundhole cover and a ‘Taylor Swift’ in what Taylor calls a ‘Byzantine inlay’ on the fingerboard.
A custom-build, this is based on Taylor’s super-high end Presentation Series PS-24ce Grand Auditorium model, but with a very unconventional ‘Florentine’ cutaway, which has a sharp point, unlike a regular GA model.
Taylor started using the guitar around 2007, but it’s clearly a meaningful one as she’s been using it for several songs on The Eras Tour, and displaying it proudly on a stand in front of the audience when she’s not using it.
