Taylor Grand Orchestra Acoustic-Electric Guitar Natural Mahogany

A dynamic powerhouse that responds well to lively strumming.




Taylor's burly all-mahogany Grand Orchestra
Acoustic-Electric Guitar is a dynamic powerhouse that responds well to
lively strumming. A brawny bass and potent mids support a rich depth of
tone, while clear treble notes add to the full-spectrum sound.
Appointments include a black pickguard, ivoroid binding and rosette, and
a Century fretboard inlay. This model comes equipped with stage-ready
Expression System acoustic electronics.

Grand Orchestra (GO)
Body Length: 20-5/8" / Body Width: 16-3/4" / Body Depth: 5"
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’s 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.

Tropical Mahogany
Mahogany
is a good wood to anchor a discussion of tones, as a lot of other wood
tones can be described in relation to it. Its essential sonic profile is
well represented in the midrange frequencies. Acoustic guitars in
general tend to live in the midrange portion of the sound spectrum, but
mahogany in particular displays a lot of midrange character. That thick,
present midrange sound is sometimes described in guitar circles as
meaty, organic or even “chewy” — wherever a player digs in on the
fretboard, they’re tapping into the core of the harmonic content of what
a guitar produces. Those great midrange frequencies produce overtones
that stack up and produce bloom, giving the sound extra girth. When one
hears the resulting harmonics, the “chewy” tone serves up a big mouthful
of midrange. As a popular tonewood for many decades, mahogany has been
used on scads of old school acoustic recordings, and that sonic heritage
carries across various strains of roots music, from blues to folk to
slack key.

Expression System®
People love the
clear, full acoustic tone of their Taylors. Why should it be any
different when they plug in? That’s why Taylor spent several years
developing their own onboard acoustic pickup and preamp. Taylor’s
groundbreaking Expression System (ES) was designed to naturally amplify
the warm acoustic sound of your guitar.

The ES is an all-magnetic
acoustic guitar pickup system that works like a microphone to produce a
pure signal and a warm, natural acoustic sound. When you plug in,
you'll hear the sound of your guitar, not the sound of the pickup. No
complicated controls. No tone simulators. Just a clean amplified
acoustic guitar sound supported by three simple controls — volume, bass
and treble.

Breakthrough Technology
Years of research
brought Taylor to a simple realization: Nothing sounds as true and
musical as a microphone. With that as a starting point, Taylor’s David
Hosler led the team responsible for the Expression System's breakthrough
technology. Utilizing a unique Dynamic Body Sensor® mounted to the
soundboard, a Dynamic String Sensor embedded beneath the fretboard, and a
discrete preamp, the advanced ES technology is unlike any other guitar
pickup system.

Integrated Design
The ES was designed
in-house, alongside their acoustic guitars, which allowed Taylor to
build the ES seamlessly into the design of the guitar, for an integrated
pickup system unlike any other. From the design and location of the
body and string sensors to the voicing of the preamp, the ES is fully
optimized for the Taylor sound. The elegant design, including the
non-intrusive control knobs, also preserves the aesthetic of a Taylor
guitar.
