Taylor PS56ce Presentation Series Cocobolo/Spruce Grand Symphony 12-String Acoustic-Electric Guitar Natural

An exquisite guitar with intricate inlays, deluxe appointments, and made of dense cocobolo and solid Sitka spruce.




The Presentation Series guitars occupy a class
all their own. Taylor's finest sets of cocobolo are paired with premium
Sitka spruce tops to make the PS56ce Presentation Series Cocobolo/Spruce
Grand Symphony 12-String Acoustic-Electric Guitar. A contoured ebony
armrest blends beauty and playing comfort. Other high-end details
include colorful paua edging, a cocobolo backstrap, and an elaborate
Nouveau vine fretboard inlay complemented by elegant headstock torch and
bridge inlays. Offered with Gotoh Gold tuners and a bone nut and
saddle, the PS56ce features a Venetian cutaway.

Grand Symphony (GS)
Body Width: 15" / Body Depth: 4-3/8" / Body Length: 19-1/2"
The ultimate Taylor strummer.

The
Grand Symphony shape joined the line in 2006 and delivers Taylor’s
boldest, richest acoustic voice. Think of it as a Grand Auditorium with a
turbo boost, thanks to expanded physical dimensions, including a
slightly wider waist and a bigger lower bout. Strummers and pickers with
a driving attack will love the fullness, volume and sustain. Yet for
such a robust voice, the GS is also clear and responsive to fast picking
runs or a light fingerstyle touch, so if you’re a dynamic player, this
shape is a true contender. And the big voice doesn’t come at the expense
of balance. The piano-like bass, meaty midrange, and thick, shimmering
highs blend seamlessly. These traits also make the GS a great vehicle
for 12-strings. If you like a lush, potent guitar tone that has the
horsepower to compete with other acoustic cannons out there, the GS
shape is a worthy choice.

Cocobolo
Origin: Central Mexico
Used On: Presentation Series, Limited Editions
Cocobolo
is a dense, stiff tropical hardwood with a fairly bright tone.
Sonically, it's similar to koa, but resonates a little deeper on the low
end, although it doesn't have quite the full low end of rosewood or
ovangkol. Fast and responsive, with moderate note decay, it's articulate
with lots of note distinction. It works perfectly on a GS because it
really pairs well with what the body shape is doing, blending the low
end and midrange of the body with the wood's brightness. We also like it
for fingerstyle on a GC.

Goes Well With: A wide range of playing
styles (depending on the body shape). Also, with players who want a
brighter rosewood sound with a little less low end and a little more
treble zing.

Expression System®
Natural Sound Made Simple
People
love the clear, full acoustic tone of their Taylors. Why should it be
any different when they plug in? That’s why we spent several years
developing the onboard acoustic pickup and preamp. Taylor’s
ground-breaking 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.
