Acoustic guitar with pickup
The Grand Symphony Builders Edition features Taylor V-Class bracing for increased volume, extended sustain and improved intonation; rosewood back and sides give the guitar deep basses and brilliance in the trebles. The lutz spruce top, along with the short scale length, supports the dynamics. The soundport cutaway provides a spatial, reverb-like effect. The pickup is Taylor’s own active ES2 dynamic piezo system with bass, treble and volume controls.
