Taylor Custom Shop GC-E Grand Concert #1211133097 - sunburst

Made from species selected in person at the Taylor factory in California, the TAYLOR Custom Shop GC-E Grand Concert #1211143037 is an exceptional instrument, both acoustically and aesthetically. This Grand Concert electro-acoustic steel-string acoustic guitar with cutaway features a Hawaiian Koa top, a Hawaiian Koa back/side combo, a Mahogany neck and an Ebony fingerboard.

Koa is a tropical hardwood endemic to the island of Hawaii. It is a dense wood that combines the rich mid-range of mahogany with the brilliance of maple. Instruments made from Koa will inevitably improve with years of use, gaining in warmth, smoothness and openness, and naturally benefit from the V-Class bracing, a landmark development in acoustic guitar design. These innovative bracings, developed by master luthier Andy Powers, give the instrument superior projection, better tonal balance, optimized intonation and remarkable sustain. Taylor introduced its Grand Concert size in 1984, to meet the demands of a certain category of highly technical guitarists. It's a compact, streamlined and extremely user-friendly format, with a small tonal footprint that makes it easy to record on stage or in the studio.
Inducing less string tension, the 24.7/8" scale also contributes to the great playing comfort of these models.

Taylor Expression System 2 Preamp: in order to faithfully reproduce the amplitude and fundamental character of their acoustics, it took Taylor several years to develop the Expression System (ES). Thanks to new sensors and a significantly reworked circuit, the Expression System 2 offers even greater responsiveness and dynamics, and according to Taylor, around 25% more warmth.
