Taylor Custom Shop GC-E Grand Concert #1211143037 - natural

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 "Spicey Cedar" top, a back/side combo of Tasmanian Southern Beech (or Tree Myrtle / Nothofagus cunninghamii), a species native to Southeastern Australia and Tasmania, a figured Maple neck and an Ebony fingerboard.

The "Tasmanian Myrtle" is perhaps the best hybrid of mahogany and rosewood on the planet, delivering a warm, powerful and well-balanced sound. It naturally benefits from the V-Class dams, a milestone 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.
