Taylor 656ce Maple Grand Symphony 12-String Acoustic-Electric Guitar Honey Sunburst

Big leaf maple body and Sitka spruce top give this guitar a solid sound.




Visually and sonically, Taylor's 656ce maple
guitar commands a striking stage presence. Its bright, focused tone
makes this guitar a favorite for performance, recording and any other
band setting, while a variety of color and sunburst options serves to
enhance the natural figure in the maple sets Taylor chooses. Other
signature touches include crisp white binding and the Twisted Oval
fretboard inlay motif.

Grand Symphony
The
Grand Symphony shape joined the Taylor line in 2006 and delivers a rich,
powerful 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.

12-String Bracing
Twelve-strings
generally employ heavier braces than 6-strings in order to handle the
increased tension of twice the number of strings, and to prevent the top
from being overdriven. Taylor 12-strings have thicker tops, thicker pin
plates, and heavier, non-scalloped bracing, to support the top and
adequately amplify the tone of the guitar.

Big Leaf Maple
A
dense hardwood, maple's tone is like a laser beam — very focused — and
dominant on the fundamental. Often described as having a "bright" sound,
maple has fewer overtones than other medium-density woods, resulting in
quicker note decay. This makes it a preferred guitar wood for live
performance settings with a band — especially with bass, drums and
electric guitar — because it cuts through a mix well, allows the
acoustic sound to be heard, and is less prone to feedback issues. It has
some midrange, and a lot more treble sparkle than rosewood.

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 our own onboard acoustic pickup and preamp. Taylor’s
ground-breaking Expression System® (ES) was designed to naturally
amplify the warm acoustic sound of your guitar.

Expression System
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
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 Taylor's acoustic guitars, which
allowed them 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.
