With simple elegant styling, great playability and ready for any stage.
The Taylor GS8-12 E Grand Symphony is a 12-String acoustic-electric guitar that features a Sitka spruce
top for a touch of crispness to the big bold tone of the rosewood back and sides. The traditional acoustic guitar styling
of the Taylor GS8-12 E creates an elegant, understated look. Equipped with the Taylor Expression System, this 12-string Grand
Symphony guitar has the tools to shine in any music venue.
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 Taylor 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 12-string GS8-12 E 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 Taylor 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.
