Description
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.
Sitka Spruce The most commonly used wood for guitar tops, Sitka generates a broad dynamic range and accommodates numerous playing styles, from aggressive strumming to fingerpicking.
Macassar Ebony This dense hardwood is typically clear and loud with considerable overtones and dynamic range. It has a strong bass and lower mids, clear highs, and a slightly scooped midrange like rosewood. Like koa, it often takes a little while for the tone to open up and become richer.
Expression System 2 Taylor’s breakthrough acoustic pickup marks a major advance in piezo technology thanks to a patented behind-the-saddle design. The unique placement of three piezo sensors captures a more dynamic range of acoustic sound and responds well in a variety of settings.
