Here's a Taylor that is yearning for someone to come along and do some serious fingerpicking on it. Thump a bassline with your thumb and you might get a little scared with the bass this baby gives out, it has absolutely stunning clarity in that department. Overall, this Taylor has unsually focused midrange and comfortable highs, deviating pleasantly from the typical Taylor tonal palette. Lead lines on this guitar are also very clear and articulated, making it an excellent choice for a player who is used to the electric. Also, this guitar has an awesome cowboy/southwestern vibe, featuring an understated sunset burst and far-out fretboard inlay!

Taylor’s biggest body style, the Grand Orchestra, blends a deep, complex voice with impressive tonal uniformity from top to bottom. Burly lows are balanced by a rich treble response, and unlike most other big-bodied guitars, the GO is responsive to a light touch. On the rosewood/spruce 718e, rosewood’s broad tonal spectrum helps deliver all the power and detail a player could ask for, from meaty open chords to lush fingerstyle arrangements. A warm Vintage Sunburst top and neck, creamy grained ivoroid binding, and the grained ivoroid Heritage Diamonds fretboard inlay bring beautiful refinement to an old-school look. Taylor’s proprietary Expression® System 2 acoustic electronics harness all that acoustic richness to produce a superb amplified sound.
