Taylor Cedar & Tasmanian Myrtle Grand Concert - Natural

Vintage-inspired Grand Concert
Finger- or flatpicked, the Taylor Cedar & Tasmanian Myrtle Grand Concert acoustic-electric guitar gives you huge, balanced tone, and crystalline clarity. Tasmanian Myrtle delivers a broad tonal range, with brilliant highs, creamy mids, and robust low end. Used for the back and sides of this gorgeous guitar, the tonewood also produces rich overtones while being quite snappy, qualities that are nicely offset by the instrument's cedar top. This superb axe is sheer magic in the studio, and its onboard Expression System electronics serve up flawless sound onstage. Sweetwater guitarists love the Taylor Cedar & Tasmanian Myrtle Grand Concert for its smooth playability, mellifluous tone, and vintage-inspired appointments that harmonize beautifully with its richly grained cedar top.

Grand Concert body style
Want an acoustic-electric guitar that's perfect for tracking? Taylor's Grand Concert body style gives you clarity and balanced tone that sits beautifully in thicker arrangements where a larger-bodied acoustic would take up too much real estate. The Taylor Cedar & Tasmanian Myrtle Grand Concert's smaller body and tapered waist not only make it the ultimate studio and stage guitar, but its short scale and lighter string tension also make it easier to play - perfect for younger players with small hands.
Taylor's Expression System 2 delivers incredibly natural sound with full dynamics
Traditionally, acoustic-electric guitars have employed under-saddle piezo transducers, but Taylor goes about it a bit differently. Their Expression System 2 uses a proprietary pickup behind the saddle. The pickup's three individually calibrated, precisely positioned piezo-electric sensors respond organically to the instrument's acoustic energy as it's transferred through the saddle. In concert with Taylor's custom-designed preamp (which delivers a 25% hotter signal), the result is a natural acoustic sound with incredible dynamic range and responsiveness to your pick or finger attack. Sweetwater's guitar gurus are mightily impressed with Taylor's Expression System 2. Whether you're onstage through a PA, plugged into an acoustic amp, or direct into recording software, the ES2 faithfully conveys the voice of a Taylor guitar.
Beautiful, durable Taylor finish
The lustrous finish used on the Cedar & Tasmanian Myrtle Grand Concert was developed at Taylor for maximum durability and resistance to cold-checking. This ultra violet-cured polyester finish is also more environmentally friendly than traditional lacquer finishes. You get the feel and tonal advantages of traditional nitrocellulose lacquer, with the durability of a modern finish. The remarkable thinness of the finish allows the wood to resonate more freely for superior tone; it's also clearer than lacquer and won't yellow over time - a common problem with nitro finishes as they age. The Taylor finish gives you the best of both worlds.
