Limited Edition GOe Grand Orchestra Quilted Maple/Adirondack Acoustic-Electric Guitar

Introduced in 2013, Taylor' Grand Orchestra shape was an instant success. Designed as a modern take on the traditional jumbo, this guitar is a bold cannon of a guitar; deep, loud, and proud! This beautiful custom guitar features stunning quilt maple back and sides finished in a pacific blue color. To make the guitar punchier and even bolder, it features an Adirondack spruce top. The blue finish is complimented with rare flamed Hawaiian koa binding that adds an elegant, rich contrast. The ebony fingerboard and headstock overlay are accented with inlaid Plumeria flowers and vines, cut from koa and boxwood. The guitar is equipped with Taylor' latest Expression System 2 electronics.

Grand Orchestra
The newest shape to join the Taylor family unleashes the boldest, richest voice available in a Taylor guitar. Just as the Grand Symphony yields a deeper, more powerful voice than the Grand Auditorium, the Grand Orchestra stands out as a more robust alternative to the Grand Symphony. The GO shape features a slightly bigger footprint and a deeper body, which helps produce a potent low-end response. Under the hood, a new bracing scheme optimizes the movement of the soundboard to produce louder, more complex tone with incredible sustain. What separates the Grand Orchestra from other big-bodied guitars is how balanced the tone is from top to bottom, especially given its brawny bass. And unlike other big-body guitars that require an aggressive attack to get the top moving, the GO is responsive to a light touch, rewarding players who have a dynamic playing style. If you crave a guitar sound that' brimming with power and rich detail, the Grand Orchestra won™t disappoint. From big cowboy chords to lush fingerstyle arrangements, the Grand Orchestra might be the most expressive and versatile big guitar you ever play.

Expression System 2
The Taylor Expression System 2 (ES2) is a revolutionary pickup design that delivers the latest in Taylor' ongoing innovation in acoustic guitar amplification. The heart of the Expression System 2 is Taylor' proprietary behind-the-saddle pickup (patent pending), which features three uniquely positioned and individually calibrated pickup sensors. The location of the sensors enables a more dynamic range of acoustic sound to be captured than ever before. Together with Taylor' custom-designed œprofessional audio-grade preamp, this system produces exceptional amplified tone and responsiveness. On stage through a PA, plugged into your favorite acoustic amplifier, or direct into recording software, the Expression System 2 faithfully conveys the voice of your Taylor guitar.
