With simple elegant styling, great playability and a big orchestral sound.
The Taylor GS8-12 Grand Symphony is a 12-String acoustic guitar that features a Sitka spruce top that
adds a touch of crispness to the big bold tone produced by the rosewood back and sides. The traditional acoustic guitar styling
of the Taylor GS8-12 creates an elegant, understated look, but with the power and richness only a 12-string can deliver.
Though
you might see similarities to a Grand Auditorium, the Taylor Grand Symphony guitar is unique in both sound and shape. Significant
changes in its geometry yield a deeper more piano-like bass. A wider lower bout and higher, wider waist return ample volume
and low-end sustain in symphony with fuller mids and balanced highs.
Designed to faithfully reproduce your guitar's
native tone, the Expression System utilizes patented Dynamic Sensors to capture top and string vibration like never before.
Created in partnership with renowned audio pioneer, Rupert Neve, the Taylor ES is seamlessly integrated into the design of
the guitar from the ground up. Onboard tone controls provide added flavor, or set flat for an uncolored, exceptionally clean
amplified sound.
The finish used to create this 12-string Grand Symphony guitar's lustrous gloss top, back, and sides
was developed at Taylor for maximum durability and resistance to cold-checking. This ultraviolet-cured finish is also more
environmentally friendly than traditional lacquer finishes.
