Description
With the addition of V-Class bracing, the enhanced volume and sustain expand the dynamic range in both directions—making it both more responsive to a light touch and capable of handling a lively attack.
The 12-fret configuration, which positions the bridge near the center of the lower bout, elicits extra warmth, power and sweetness, and those sonic traits are also enhanced by V-Class framework.
Visually, the slotted headstock, grained ivoroid Century inlays, and faux tortoise shell binding and pickguard outfit the guitar with neo-vintage aesthetic appeal, while modern features include an elegant Venetian cutaway and proprietary Taylor ES2 electronics.
Features
Grand Concert A smaller-bodied guitar ideally suited for fingerstyle.
Western Red Cedar A true performer for those with a lighter touch, cedar tops yield extra warmth and pair nicely with mahogany and rosewood.
Tropical Mahogany A midrange powerhouse. Mahogany is prized for balance and articulation, making it one of the best all-around tonewoods there is.
Expression System® 2 The Expression System® 2 captures more of a guitar’s dynamic properties using a breakthrough behind-the-saddle design.
Venetian Cutaway The Venetian cutaway is known for its soft, round lines. The sloping peak of the cutaway will vary depending on the shape of the guitar.
V-Class Bracing A revolutionary design that balances the flexibility and stability of the top, V-Class bracing produces unmatched sustain, volume, and intonation.
