Taylor Custom #28 Mahogany Grand Symphony Acoustic-Electric Guitar Trans Black

This custom Taylor Grand Symphony is crafted with back and sides of hand-selected mahogany paired with a Sitka spruce top, and features a soundport cutaway that creates an airier, more high-fidelity, symphonic sound. The way the sound radiates creates a more immersive, reverb-like effect with remarkable sustain. Compared to the Taylor Grand Auditorium, the Grand Symphony has a bigger, rounder lower bout and slightely wider “waist” area, and the bigger sound board (top) means more tonal output. Expect a meaty lower midrange and strong treble shimmer. A GS is best if you want a guitar with a robust low end, strong volume when strumming or flatpicking, and clear articulation in response to light fingerpicking attack. Equipped with Taylor’s revolutionary ES2 pickup design, all the nuance of your tone comes through clearly whether you’re playing acoustically or plugged-in. The location of the sensors enables a more dynamic range of acoustic sound to be captured than ever before while playing plugged-in. Together with Taylor’s custom-designed “professional audio”-grade preamp, this system produces exceptional amplified tone and responsiveness. On stage through a PA, plugged into your favorite acoustic amplifier or direct into recording software, the Expression System 2 faithfully conveys the voice of your Taylor guitar. The Taylor Expression System 2 operates through a proprietary 9-volt battery compartment and easy-to-use volume, and active bass and treble controls.
