This Grand Symphony 12-string sings like no other guitar in Taylor’s sublime Presentation Series. Sets of beautifully variegated Macassar ebony are paired with premium Sitka spruce tops to produce a voice with sweeping acoustic range, while the octave strings elevate an already rich and resonant voice to another level. A hand-carved ebony armrest blends high-end craftsmanship with the ultimate in strumming comfort. Premium appointments include colorful paua edging, a Macassar ebony backstrap, and an elaborate Nouveau vine fretboard inlay complemented by elegant headstock torch and bridge inlays. The guitar also features Gotoh Gold tuners, a bone nut and saddle, a Venetian cutaway, and Taylor Expression System 2 electronics.

Grand Symphony With a slightly larger footprint than the Grand Auditorium, the GS yields a slightly more potent and dynamic all-around sound. Players can expect deeper bass, thicker trebles, and increased volume and low-end sustain, all without disrupting the tonal balance and clarity of the guitar.
