Product Details
|
Taylor's take on the classical guitar sound is a nylon-string with a bit of twist. Think of it as classical tone meets Taylor playability, beginning with a slim and fast 1 7/8” neck. Are you ready to explore a new tone from Taylor? The Nylon Series is a great place to play.
Taylor's solid-wood acoustic/electric line encompasses a rich range of woods and tones, offering something to inspire every type of player. Featuring a cutaway and an exceptional Expression System® pickup, you’ll always sound your best, whether unplugged or amplified.
Woods - Sitka Spruce/Indian Rosewood Laminate
• Sitka Spruce (top) - "Picea sitchensis"
Sitka Spruce grows in a coastal "pocket" from Northern California to Alaska. This dense, straight-grained wood has the highest strength and elasticity-to-weight ratio among available tonewoods, an attribute that makes it an ideal material not only for Taylor's soundboards, but for Tyalor's internal bracing, as well. Sitka produces a slightly brighter tone than does Engelmann.
• Indian Rosewood Laminate (back & sides) - "Dalbergia latifolia"
Indian rosewood is coveted by players and guitar builders alike for its dark, luxurious coloration, which ranges from brown to purple to rose to black, and for tonal characteristics that include a strong bass response and long sustain. It remains the most popular tonewood used in the making of high-quality acoustic guitars.
Shape - Grand Auditorium (GA)
Introduced in 1994 to commemorate Taylor’s 20th Anniversary, the Grand Auditorium would go on to establish itself as a definitive Bob Taylor original. Tonally, the guitar embodied the qualities of balance, clarity, and versatility that became hallmark Taylor traits. Visually, the shape gave the world an equally balanced and refined aesthetic of smooth curves. In both respects, the GA was at once big enough and small enough to cover a lot of ground.
The GA has the width and depth of a Dreadnought, but its tapered waist and contours give it the appearance of a smaller instrument, making it comfortable to play. The tonal balance means it’s full in the lower register, present in the midrange, and sparkling on the treble strings.
Electronics - Taylor's ES-T™
Inspired by Taylor's Expression System technology, the Expression System Transducer, or ES-T™, is a single-source, under-saddle transducer with individual elements for each string. (The ES-T was originally called the ES Element, but the name was changed to avoid confusion with another product.) The ES-T has an onboard preamp and the same active controls found on the full Expression System. Featuring a custom-voiced EQ and dynamic response, the system is powered by a 9-volt battery, with a battery life LED power indicator (which is lit when the battery is being used). The pickup also has a Phase switch for feedback control, which is located on the preamp board inside the soundhole.
Finish: Satin Top/Satin Back & Sides
The finish used to create this guitar's satin back and sides and lustrous gloss top was developed at Taylor for maximum durability and resistance to cold-checking. The ultraviolet-cured finish is also more environmentally friendly than traditional lacquer finishes.
