XXX-9V 9-String Grand Symphony 35th Anniversary Acoustic-Electric Guitar

Taylor's first-ever 9-string gives you both power and lushness as well as a clear soloing voice. Nashville session players have long worked a 9-string configuration into their quiver of recording tools to add extra jangle to the midrange ” the D and G strings are doubled an octave apart, while the B is simply doubled ” without oversaturating the mix.

The single high E string keeps the treble from getting too bright, while the single bass strings (low E and A) maintain a low-end focus that works well for walking basslines. In the end, you get the best of both a 6-string and 12-string, refined into a unique guitar voice that opens the door to fresh musical possibilities.

Taylor's 35th Anniversary 9-string XXXV-9 is a cutaway GS with a mahogany back and sides, a Sitka spruce top, Indian rosewood binding, a commemorative 35th Anniversary fretboard inlay, and the Expression System® pickup.
