Product Description

Custom #10105 8-String Baritone Grand Symphony Acoustic-Electric Guitar. Compared to the Taylor Grand Auditorium, the Grand Symphony has a bigger, rounder lower bout and slightly 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. Taylor loves to showcase custom configurations that highlight tone woods and aesthetic elements not offered through its standard product line. So every year, Taylor makes available a number of one-off beauties at the annual NAMM show in Anaheim, California. This hand-selected custom instrument is such an example. A truly unique voice, the Baritone 8-String complements the lower tonal range by pairing two octave strings with the third and fourth strings, adding a touch of upper-octave brightness without too much 12-string jangle. The result is a guitar with incredible tonal range, perfect for walking bass lines and rich melodies. This custom Baritone-8 relies on a GS body and is tuned to B with a longer 27-inch scale length, which maintains normal string tension. It''s a powerful creative tool that will inspire players to explore timbres and tones that only an extended-scale guitar can deliver. Taylor''s ES2 is a revolutionary pickup design that delivers the latest in Taylor''s ongoing innovation in acoustic guitar amplification. The heart of the Expression System 2 is Taylor''s patented behind-the-saddle pickup, which features three uniquely positioned and individually calibrated pickup sensors. Because the pickup doesn''t sit under the saddle, the bottom of the saddle comes in full contact with the bridge, allowing all the nuance of the guitar''s tone to come through clearly whether playing acoustic or plugged in. The location of the sensors enables a more dynamic range of acoustic sound to be cap...
