Taylor 656ceFE Cutaway Grand Symphony 12-String Acoustic-Electric Guitar Natural

Innovations in construction and delicate details make this First Edition Taylor a must-have.
This First Edition Cutaway Grand Symphony 12-String marks the debut of Taylor’s revoiced maple 600 Series, featuring a package of tone-enhancing refinements that transform maple’s historically bright tone profile into a richer, warmer and more complex voice. Among the design nuances are Adirondack spruce Advanced Performance bracing, which features a maple-specific back bracing profile that enhances the guitar’s responsiveness; the use of protein glues to optimize the tonal transfer between key wood components; and a thin, 3.5-mil gloss finish to minimize dampening. A hand-rubbed “Brown Sugar” color treatment on the back and sides gives maple’s striking figure a burnished copper glow without adding extra thickness to the finish. The Sitka spruce top is specially seasoned using torrefaction, a roasting process that helps produce an aged tonal character marked by greater acoustic resonance and responsiveness. Featured appointments include ivoroid Wings fretboard inlays; an inlaid ebony backstrap; and an additional headstock inlay on this First Edition model. Other standout details include ebony binding with ivoroid body purfling; an ebony rosette edged in ivoroid; a striped ebony pickguard; Taylor nickel tuners; and Taylor’s Expression System 2 acoustic electronics. The guitar includes a First Edition label and a deluxe hardshell case with a commemorative First Edition nameplate. Grand Symphony Rich and robust, the GS yields lots of volume and dynamic range Designed by Bob Taylor in 2006 Rich, piano-like bass, strong midrange, and thick trebles Strong volume when strumming or flatpicking, and responsive clarity with a light attack
