Indian rosewood and Western Red cedar is a pairing that is traditionally among our best-selling models. The softness of cedar will yield subtle differences in tone when compared to the rosewood/spruce combination.
The finish used to create this guitar’s lustrous gloss top, back, and sides was developed at Taylor for maximum durability and resistance to cold-checking. This ultra violet-cured finish is also more environmentally friendly than traditional lacquer finishes. Available in natural finish.
Though you might see similarities to a Grand Auditorium, the GS 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.
The GS ships standard without electronics but can be ordered with the Expression System pickup.
