Taylor GS8-E Grand Symphony
Acoustic Electric
Item: TOGS8E
Introduced in 2006, the Grand Symphony is an original design from top to bottom, and the first new Taylor shape in over a decade. It was a hit right out of the gate. Expect acoustic power with every note, with deep, piano-like bass, rich mids and clear, balanced highs, and plenty of volume. It’s a whole new flavor of Taylor tone.
It's worth while to note a few of Taylor's inovations to acoustic electric guitars. Taylor's Expression System utilizes patented Dynamic Sensors designed to faithfully reproduce your guitar's native tone. Created in partnership with renowned audio pioneer, Rupert Neve, the Taylor Expression System is seamlessly integrated into the design of the guitar to capture top and string vibration. Also, Taylor's innovative ultra violet-cured finish is more environmentally friendly than traditional lacquer finishes, and was developed for resistance to cold-checking and maximum durability.
