The Taylor GA4 Grand Auditorium Acoustic Guitar has traditional styling that creates an elegant, understated look. Exotic Ovangkol is paired with a Sitka spruce top for a beautiful meeting of tone and looks. The GA4's appointments include a bound neck, chrome-plated tuners, and an Indian rosewood headstock overlay.When people talk about "the Taylor sound," knowingly or not they're probably describing the Grand Auditorium. Introduced in 1994 as a limited edition to commemorate Taylor's 20th Anniversary, the GA would go on to establish itself as a definitive Bob Taylor original. Tonally, the guitar embodied the signature qualities of balance, clarity, and versatility that became hallmark Taylor traits. Visually, the shape gave the world an equally balanced and refined aesthetic of smooth curves. In both respects, the GA was at once big enough and small enough to cover a lot of ground. The goal, he says, was simply to make a guitar that was big like a dreadnought, but without a dreadnought's traditionally boomy sound. "I was looking for a good, clear tone that had volume when you played fingerstyle, but then when you strummed didn't have too much bass." The GA has the width and depth of a Dreadnought, but its tapered waist and contours give it the appearance of a smaller instrument, making it comfortable to play. The tonal balance means it's full in the lower register, present in the midrange, and sparkling on the treble strings. The GA's tonal balance has made it a favorite among artists AND engineers. "You put a mic in front of the guitar and set everything to zero, you turn on the tape, and you play," Bob continues. "We had a lot of studio owners and engineers buy those guitars just to put in the studio, because when things started going bad with players' guitars during a session, the engineer would say, 'We can get this job done today if you just play this guitar.' So that was sort of what we had in mind with that. And a lot of it was the shape. We made a few bracing changes, but we depended on the shape to change that tone." Play a GA if: You want the Swiss Army Knife of acoustics, capable of handling everything from fingerpicking to medium strumming to moderate flatpicking.. ...details  Taylor Guitars > Acoustic-Electric Guitars > 6 String Acoustic-Electric Guitars > Taylor T5 Classic Acoustic-Electric Guitar Natural. The Taylor T5 Classic Acoustic-Electric Guitar is distinguished by an ovangkol top and a fretboard inlay of small diamonds. The T5 guitar's satin finish and unbound body, however, lean toward understatement. The T5 Classic offers the same sweeping range of acoustic and electric tones as Taylor's other hybrid hollowbody T5 guitars, incorporating a hidden neck humbucker pickup, a visible bridge humbucker, and an acoustic body sensor inspired by Taylor's Expression System acoustic pickup. Five-way switching and 2 active preamp/EQ tone controls help the Taylor T5 Classic to redefine guitar tonal versatility, from clean acoustic to full-tilt electric crunch, or a blend of both.. ...details  Taylor Guitars > Acoustic-Electric Guitars > Left Handed Acoustic-Electric Guitars > Taylor 110 Left-Handed Dreadnought Acoustic Guitar Natural.

While the acoustic guitar remains a cornerstone of so many musical genres, rarely has its dynamic and emotional range been explored within a single collection. On Sounds of Wood and Steel Part 3, every cut finds the instrument and the artist in a new setting. On "Litho Blitho," Dave Matthews' spiraling guitars recall Philip Glass. Robben Ford, known for his electric blues, reveals his jazz side on an atypical read of Louis Armstrong's "St. James Infirmary." Country superstar Kenny Rogers lays back on bass, allowing guitarist Randy Dorman to shine on "Night Winds." The pensive "Jesse's Song" sounds like the backing tracks to a mellow pop hit for Jars Of Clay, but the vocals are never missed. Open chords and a yawning sitar provide the background for Billy Sheehan's bass on "Bombay Doors.". ...details  Taylor Books, Videos and Music > Reference Materials > Video Documentaries and Performances > Taylor The Liberty Tree (DVD). Taylor's Liberty Tree Guitars are built of wood salvaged from the last of 13 majestic Liberty Trees (one in each Colony) under which Colonists gathered to plot the American Revolution. The last surviving Liberty Tree, a 400-year-old tulip poplar, was still growing on the St. John's College campus in Annapolis, Maryland, until Hurricane Floyd irreparably damaged it in September 1999. A month later, experts decided that the 90-foot-tall living landmark had become a safety hazard, and cut it down following a special ceremony.Taylor Guitars cofounder/president Bob Taylor purchased enough of the salvaged Liberty Tree wood to make a Limited Edition run of about 400 guitars. In addition to being world renowned for his guitar design and building methods, Bob Taylor is an American History buff. It was his dream to immortalize and pay homage to the wood of this important tree by building guitars that for generations to come will symbolize our country's struggle for freedom, whenever and wherever they are played.This Emmy-nominated documentary produced by Taylor guitar encapsulates the story of the Liberty Tree Guitar and the history of the 13 Liberty Trees. The Liberty Tree Guitar video features archival images, expert testimony of respected historians, Colonial reenactment footage, television news coverage, design and production meetings at the Taylor factory, a live performance by Taylor clinician Doyle Dykes playing his "patriotic medley" on the Liberty Tree Guitar, and more.

Inspired by Dave Matthews' 914ce, the DMSM is an Indian rosewood/Sitka spruce Grand Auditorium guitar. A custom fretboard inlay blends elements of the popular "Cindy" inlay, which graces Dave Matthews' 914ce, with a design that pays tribute to the band's longtime sax player, LeRoi Moore, who passed away in 2008. Based on a sketch that Matthews provided, the acoustic electric guitar has a crown inlay between the 11th and 12th frets that honors Moore by incorporating ball-tipped points with one ball partially missing in his memory. A nickname of Moore's within the band, "Grux," is inlaid between the 13th and 18th frets. The headstock inlay also was developed from a sketch by Matthews. The guitar top was shaded with an aged toner to approximate the patina Matthews has on his older Taylor 914ce guitar. Each Dave Matthews Signature Model guitar comes with a custom guitar label and a certificate of authenticity, both personally signed by Matthews. About Dave Matthews Dave Matthews needs little introduction to fans of popular music. The lead singer, songwriter and guitarist of the Dave Matthews Band, Matthews and his musical brothers formed in Charlottesville, Virginia in the early '90s and quickly amassed a passionate following on the strength of their live shows.The band's unique sound, a bold, polyrhythmic stew of progressive Americana, was earthy yet intricate, jazzy and funky, informed as much by the sounds of African pop music as it was by American genres. At its core was Dave Matthews' distinctive acoustic guitar playing. Averse to open, "strummy" acoustic sounds, his percussive, self-styled approach incorporated closed chord voicings with two- and three-string shapes and a lot of string damping. Matthews' elliptical rhythmic patterns blended repetition with odd time signatures, creating an exotic and hypnotic presence within his songs. Together with drummer Carter Beauford's fusion-fueled syncopation, saxophonist LeRoi Moore's soulful horn lines, Boyd Tinsley's spirited violin work, bassist Stefan Lessard's fluid grooves, and Matthews' lilting, pliable vocal melodies, the DMB's arrangements and jammy interplay projected an exuberance that captivated crowds. The band has consistently been one of the most popular touring acts in the world for many years. It's fair to say that Matthews helped fuel a resurgence in acoustic roots rock in the mid-1990s, and inspired a fresh generation of young fans to pick up an acoustic guitar.By pursuing an intuitive approach to playing, Dave Matthews has managed to accomplish something that many highly skilled technical players rarely do: develop a sound that's truly his own. "I've never really looked at other people's guitar playing and said, 'Wow, I really want to know how to do that,'" he said in an interview with Taylor Guitars back in 2001. "I think it's a combination of the fact tha. ...details  Taylor Guitars > Acoustic-Electric Guitars > 6 String Acoustic-Electric Guitars > Taylor 2010 Spring Limited Edition 716CE Grand Symphony Acoustic-Electric Guitar Natural¹. Taylor crafts the Spring 2010 Limited Edition 716CE Grand Symphony Acoustic-Electric Guitar using rare Brazilian imbuia for the back and sides. It has been nearly seven years since Taylor's last run of Brazilian imbuia limited edition guitars—a testament to the procurement challenge this exotic tonewood represents. The beautiful batch of imbuia Taylor used for the 716CE grand symphony guitar exhibits deep caramel hues with rich variegation.

Taylor also includes a hardshell case with each Spring Limited Edition Grand Symphony guitar.Taylor Expression System The Taylor ES delivers an amplified tone that will satisfy the most demanding pro player, yet makes it simple for anyone to plug in and sound great. The Expression System incorporates three different magnetic sensors. Two strategically placed Dynamic Body Sensors affixed to the underside of the soundboard capture the complex nuances of the top's vibration, while a Dynamic String Sensor mounted beneath the fretboard extension registers string and neck vibration. The preamp boosts the pickup signal cleanly, without the need for artificial EQ "coloration". The balanced, low-impedance signal the Expression System produces can run direct into a mixer or PA in most situations, and is free of distortion at almost any volume. Three simple, unintrusive onboard control knobs preserve the aesthetic beauty of your Taylor, yet allow you to easily adjust the volume, bass, and treble to suit your personal preferences and performance environment. The payoff is in the purity of high-fidelity amplified tone, unprecedented dynamic range, and extraordinary resistance to feedback and distortion. The Taylor Expression System enables all of the expressive subtleties of your playing to come through, just the way you intended.. ...details  Taylor Guitars > Acoustic-Electric Guitars > 6 String Acoustic-Electric Guitars > Taylor 12-Fret Acoustic-Electric Guitar Natural.

Inspired by Jason Mraz's Taylor nylon-string NS72ce, the JMSM acoustic-electric guitar has a back and sides of Indian rosewood, a Western Red cedar top, and custom inlays. The fretboard inlay features the words "Be Love" below Jason Mraz's circle/triangle symbol, both in Mexican cypress. The rosette design is a series of zodiac symbols in Mexican cypress against a bubinga background, set in a ring of Hawaiian koa. The pickup is the new ES-N®, which comes standard on all nylon-string guitars. Each Taylor JMSM guitar comes with a custom label and a certificate of authenticity, both of which will be signed by Jason Mraz.It wasn't far from the Taylor complex that Jason Mraz's successful career was launched, in the coffeehouses of San Diego. It was his equivalent of the Beatles' Hamburg period, during which he honed his talent for blending acoustic grooves, supple melodies, and clever, heartfelt lyrics into compelling pop songs. He played out often, developing himself into a compelling live act who seemed destined to make it. Jason Mraz grew up in Mechanicsville, Virginia, where, as a teenager, he started writing and taught himself to play guitar, often covering Dave Matthews and Bob Dylan tunes with his brother. He later moved to New York City to attend the American Musical and Dramatic Academy to study acting, but continued to play guitar and sing. Mraz moved to San Diego in 1999. It didn't take long for him to plug into the collaborative acoustic scene and set in motion a word-of-mouth groundswell. He frequently performed as a duo with local percussionist Toca Rivera (who remains a core component of his live band), eventually setting up residencies at various local venues, where Mraz cultivated a passionate following. The buzz spread to L.A. and beyond. At times, Mraz's sound suggests a more caffeinated, rock-centric version of breezy jazz-pop singer-songwriter Michael Franks, whom Mraz cites as a musical influence (he points to Franks' 1976 album The Art of Tea as an inspiration). But Jason Mraz brings more of a street/beat poet and hip-hop sensibility to the party, as he assimilates an array of musical flavors into his world: jazz, funk, reggae, soul and Latin music, each of which inject unique rhythmic accents to his fluid, mellow-rock vibe. Seeing Jason Mraz perform is to experience the fullness of his multi-pronged artistry. His nimble, crystalline tenor, his melodic and rhythmic sophistication, his strong pop instincts, and his ability to unleash a sonorous gush of lyrical wordplay together all coalesce into a soulful groove on stage. His music has a certain lightness to it that's conspicuously devoid of stereotypical rock 'n' roll angst or bravado. On stage, he's playful, funny, and spontaneous. He has a good time messing with his persona: part hipster geek, part street performer, part ladykilling balladeer. Mraz innately understands music's power to uplift and empower people,. ...details  Taylor Guitars > Acoustic-Electric Guitars > 6 String Acoustic-Electric Guitars > Taylor NS24-CE-G Grand Auditorium Nylon-String Acoustic-Electric Guitar Natural.

The extra horsepower of this Grand Symphony series instrument invites aggressive strumming and picking, and even if some tradition-bound bluegrassers might initially resist embracing a non-dreadnought shape, the sound has converted many serious flatpickers and flat-out floored scads of acoustic lovers across a full spectrum of musical styles.The power of the Taylor GS Acoustic-Electric Guitar is balanced by clear articulation and responsiveness to a lighter attack that welcomes fingerpicking, yielding a broad swath of dynamic range.

A wider lower bout and higher, wider waist return ample low-end sustain, in symphony with fuller mids and balanced highs — and plenty of volume.When people talk about "the Taylor sound," knowingly or not they're probably describing the Grand Auditorium. Introduced in 1994 as a limited edition to commemorate Taylor's 20th Anniversary, the GA would go on to establish itself as a definitive Bob Taylor original. Tonally, the guitar embodied the signature qualities of balance, clarity, and versatility that became hallmark Taylor traits. Visually, the shape gave the world an equally balanced and refined aesthetic of smooth curves. In both respects, the GA was at once big enough and small enough to cover a lot of ground. The goal, he says, was simply to make a guitar that was big like a dreadnought, but without a dreadnought's traditionally boomy sound. "I was looking for a good, clear tone that had volume when you played fingerstyle, but then when you strummed didn't have too much bass."

The time-honored heritage of the dreadnought body style makes it the choice of the traditional guitarist.The traditional shape and sound have been refined to blend power with a more balanced response Bob Taylor launched his career crafting Dreadnoughts, working with shapes he inherited from Sam Radding, the owner of the American Dream guitar shop, where he and Taylor co-founder Kurt Listug got their start. The legacy of this shape carried a powerful, traditional sound that Bob gradually reworked into a refined Taylor tone and more smoothly contoured look. The rosewood/spruce 810 became a Taylor stalwart and was for many years Bob's preferred model, favored for its robust tone and understated, workmanlike aesthetic. In 2003 the Dread underwent a major revoicing to give it a more competitive identity among old school flatpickers. A cannon, it boasted 50 percent more volume (which also meant more dynamic range), yielded an appreciably stronger bass response, and let out a hearty growl when pickers dug in, all without upsetting Taylor's sonic balance. As Bob put it during the revoicing process: "I want to be able to play a Dreadnought on the bass strings and then on these middle D and G strings and have it sound like the same guitar."

This acoustic electric also features a Venetian cutaway, cocobolo mini-wedge and binding, abalone-edged Sitka spruce top, and Adirondack spruce bracing for a sweet and powerful voice. This beauty is also loaded with upscale appointments: a cocobolo back strip, delicate pinstripe binding along the fretboard and headstock, gold Gotoh tuners, a bone nut and saddle, and peghead and bridge inlays.Although Bob Taylor's first acoustic design since the Grand Auditorium recently notched its second birthday, many guitar players are still discovering Taylor's boldest acoustic sound for the first time. The reaction has become fairly predictable: love at first strum.As with the GA, Bob had a fresh sound in mind that he felt he could deliver through a new shape. The challenge was to create a bolder flavor of Taylor's signature tone without sacrificing balance or crimping the clarity. The deeper, fuller, louder GS boasts a rich, piano-like bass; girthy midrange; and thicker trebles. The extra horsepower invites aggressive strumming and picking, and even if some tradition-bound bluegrassers might initially resist embracing a non-dreadnought shape, the sound has converted many serious flatpickers and flat-out floored scads of acoustic lovers across a full spectrum of musical styles.The power of the Taylor GS is balanced by clear articulation and responsiveness to a lighter attack that welcomes fingerpicking, yielding a broad swath of dynamic range. Within that range, a rich, nuanced topography of expression is waiting to be explored. The depth of tone conveys a sense of instant maturity among players who are attuned to the ways a guitar tends to open up after an initial period of being played. The Taylor Expression onboard electronics system features tone controls to provide added shaping capability for the exceptionally clean amplified sound."What I loved most about the GS," Acoustic Guitar magazine's Teja Gerken wrote in a review of the Taylor GS guitar, "was its openness and the complexity of its fundamental tones-—both of which belie its young age." With cutaway and 12-string models now available, the GS acoustic electric is equipped for virtually every application.. ...details  Taylor Guitars > Acoustic-Electric Guitars > 6 String Acoustic-Electric Guitars > Taylor Limited Edition GSE-LTD-K Grand Symphony Acoustic Electric Guitar Natural¹.

The T3 continues Taylor's quest to expand the range of tones available to the electric player. Inspired by both the Taylor T5 and the SolidBody, they've taken the classic semi-hollowbody sound and applied signature Taylor design and tonal touches, blending high-definition Style 2 pickups with coil-splitting capability to give players killer humbucker and single-coil sounds in one electric guitar. A push-pull tone knob brings two sweeping modes of tone control. What's great about the Taylor T3 is the way it enhances a semi-hollowbody's essential sound, transforming it into a hotrod guitar capable of a wider range of tones as a result of Taylor pickups, coil-splitting, and unique tone control. All on top of signature Taylor traits you can always count on, like superb intonation and easy playability.Pickups The T3 features a pair of full-size, Style 2 HD (high definition) humbuckers. A three-way switch covers three standard configurations: neck pickup, neck/bridge and bridge pickup. A twist was added using old-school coil-splitting. Pulling up on the volume knob splits the humbucker coils into single coils for brighter, punchier tones.Push/Pull Control Knobs The T3's volume and tone knobs both utilize push/pull pots, which give players two tiers of unique tone control. Pulling up on the volume knob activates a coil splitter, which in effect turns the humbuckers into single coils. The guitar's three-way switch functions the same way, allowing you to choose between full neck, neck/bridge and full bridge single coil tones. In its down position, the tone knob boosts the midrange. Pulling up the knob engages a second capacitor, which mellows the tone without squashing it into a muddy sound. Within that tonal range is a fresh Taylor electric voice: a mellow, old-school jazz tone that's loaded with warmth and fatness. And there's a lot of cool rock tones inbetween.Body/Neck Design The sapele T3 body is designed as a semi-hollowbody electric. The body is hollowed out except for a solid block of wood that runs down the length of the center. The T3 has no acoustic bracing inside it. The quilted maple top is laid directly on top of the internal block like the Taylor Solid Body. The sapele neck incorporates Taylor's rock-solid single-bolt T-Lock and a precisely milled pocket spacer is used to secure the perfect neck angle. The Taylor T3 has beefier electric-style frets, giving electric players a familiar feel.. ...details  Taylor Guitars > Electric Guitars > Solid Body Electric Guitars > Taylor Classic Electric Guitar Transparent White.

The Taylor DN4 Acoustic Guitar was crafted with classic dreadnought design in mind. This Taylor guitar combines back and sides of beautiful ovangkol, which many find reminiscent of rosewood. A Sitka spruce top gives the DN4 guitar the punch to create a rich tonal tapestry. The Taylor DN4 has a booming bass and articulate mid tones that dare you to dig in and challenge your flatpicking prowess. Appointments include a bound ebony neck, chrome plated tuners, and an Indian rosewood headstock overlay.The traditional shape and sound have been refined to blend power with a more balanced response Bob Taylor launched his career crafting Dreadnoughts, working with shapes he inherited from Sam Radding, the owner of the American Dream guitar shop, where he and Taylor co-founder Kurt Listug got their start. The legacy of this shape carried a powerful, traditional sound that Bob gradually reworked into a refined Taylor tone and more smoothly contoured look. The rosewood/spruce 810 became a Taylor stalwart and was for many years Bob's preferred model, favored for its robust tone and understated, workmanlike aesthetic. In 2003 the Dread underwent a major revoicing to give it a more competitive identity among old school flatpickers. A cannon, it boasted 50 percent more volume (which also meant more dynamic range), yielded an appreciably stronger bass response, and let out a hearty growl when pickers dug in, all without upsetting Taylor's sonic balance. As Bob put it during the revoicing process: "I want to be able to play a Dreadnought on the bass strings and then on these middle D and G strings and have it sound like the same guitar." Bob later applied some of his ideas to the 710ce-L9 limited in 2005, and it proved to be a winner. Like the short-scale GC, the slinkier feel allowed players to lighten up on their attack and play up the neck. It gave the Dreadnought more versatility than it had ever seen. The Taylor Dreadnought delivers a vintage sound for the 21st Century. Play a Dreadnought if: You're a flatpicker or strummer looking for a potent, traditional sound.. ...details  Taylor Guitars > Acoustic-Electric Guitars > 6 String Acoustic-Electric Guitars > Taylor 614-CE Grand Auditorium Cutaway Acoustic-Electric Guitar Honey Burst.

The Taylor NS74ce has a western red cedar top and Indian rosewood back and sides in a grand auditorium body style.The NS74ce is the premier Taylor take on the classical guitar design, but with a bit of twist.

Taylor's ES-N piezo system offers high-fidelity amplified tone, unprecedented dynamic range, and extraordinary resistance to feedback and distortion. It enables all of the expressive subtleties of your playing to come through, just the way you intended.When people talk about "the Taylor sound," knowingly or not they're probably describing the Grand Auditorium. Introduced in 1994 as a limited edition to commemorate Taylor's 20th Anniversary, the GA would go on to establish itself as a definitive Bob Taylor original. Tonally, the guitar embodied the signature qualities of balance, clarity, and versatility that became hallmark Taylor traits. Visually, the shape gave the world an equally balanced and refined aesthetic of smooth curves. In both respects, the GA was at once big enough and small enough to cover a lot of ground. The goal, he says, was simply to make a guitar that was big like a dreadnought, but without a dreadnought's traditionally boomy sound. "I was looking for a good, clear tone that had volume when you played fingerstyle, but then when you strummed didn't have too much bass."The GA has the width and depth of a Dreadnought, but its tapered waist and contours give it the appearance of a smaller instrument, making it comfortable to play. The tonal balance means it's full in the lower register, present in the midrange, and sparkling on the treble strings. The GA's tonal balance has made it a favorite among artists AND engineers. "You put a mic in front of the guitar and set everything to zero, you turn on the tape, and you play," Bob continues. "We had a lot of studio owners and engineers buy those guitars just to put in the studio, because when things started going bad with players' guitars during a session, the engineer would say, 'We can get this job done today if you just play this guitar.' So that was sort of what we had in mind with that. And a lot of it was the shape. We made a few bracing changes, but we depended on the shape to change that tone." Play a GA if: You want the Swiss Army Knife of acoustics, capable of handling everything from fingerpicking to medium strumming to moderate flatpicking.. ...details  Taylor Guitars > Classical and Nylon Guitars > Acoustic-Electric Classical and Nylon Guitars > Taylor NS72-CE Nylon String Grand Concert Rosewood Acoustic-Electric Guitar Natural.

Inspired by both the Taylor T5 and the SolidBody, they've taken the classic semi-hollowbody sound and applied signature Taylor design and tonal touches, blending high-definition Style 2 pickups with coil-splitting capability to give players killer humbucker and single-coil sounds in one electric guitar. A push-pull tone knob brings two sweeping modes of tone control. What's great about the Taylor T3 is the way it enhances a semi-hollowbody's essential sound, transforming it into a hotrod guitar capable of a wider range of tones as a result of Taylor pickups, coil-splitting, and unique tone control. All on top of signature Taylor traits you can always count on, like superb intonation and easy playability.Pickups The T3 features a pair of full-size, Style 2 HD (high definition) humbuckers. A three-way switch covers three standard configurations: neck pickup, neck/bridge and bridge pickup. A twist was added using old-school coil-splitting. Pulling up on the volume knob splits the humbucker coils into single coils for brighter, punchier tones.Push/Pull Control Knobs The T3's volume and tone knobs both utilize push/pull pots, which give players two tiers of unique tone control. Pulling up on the volume knob activates a coil splitter, which in effect turns the humbuckers into single coils. The guitar's three-way switch functions the same way, allowing you to choose between full neck, neck/bridge and full bridge single coil tones. In its down position, the tone knob boosts the midrange. Pulling up the knob engages a second capacitor, which mellows the tone without squashing it into a muddy sound. Within that tonal range is a fresh Taylor electric voice: a mellow, old-school jazz tone that's loaded with warmth and fatness. And there's a lot of cool rock tones inbetween.Body/Neck Design The sapele T3 body is designed as a semi-hollowbody electric. The body is hollowed out except for a solid block of wood that runs down the length of the center. The T3 has no acoustic bracing inside it. The quilted maple top is laid directly on top of the internal block like the Taylor Solid Body. The sapele neck incorporates Taylor's rock-solid single-bolt T-Lock and a precisely milled pocket spacer is used to secure the perfect neck angle.

The Taylor GC3 Grand Concert Acoustic Guitar has volume that belies its size. Signature Taylor performance, quality, and value make our sapele/spruce acoustic guitars a great introduction to the solid-wood Taylor experience. Simple, traditional styling and renowned Taylor craftsmanship make this combination one of our most popular models.Because of its smaller size, the Taylor GC3 Grand Concert is a curvy and comfortable, "intimate" guitar—something to wrap oneself around. Its clarity, balanced response, scaled-down proportions, and scalloped bracing make it ideal for fingerstyle playing. Stage performers appreciate its body-friendly size and contours, and those who work in the recording studio love its controlled overtones. Other features include a bound neck and body, chrome-plated tuners, and an Indian rosewood headstock overlay.A fingerstylist's dream, this small-body guitar shines on stage, in the studio, or in your lap Grand Concert Bob Taylor introduced the small-bodied Grand Concert in 1984 as an alternative to the boomier tonal tendencies of traditional, larger-bodied guitars. The GC spoke to the evolving styles of acoustic guitarists at that time, as solo instrumental fingerstyle music was growing in popularity. Bob developed the GC with input from Chris Proctor, the 1982 National Fingerpicking Champion, who would go on to be Taylor's first guitar clinician. Proctor wanted a comfortable body shape with clarity and balance from bass to treble, a cutaway, and a wider neck than the 1-11/16" then used on the Taylor Dreadnought and Jumbo. Beyond its compatibility with fingerstyle players, the GC's smaller body and tapered waist made it the ultimate studio and stage guitar. With its controlled overtones, it doesn't take up too much sonic space — an important consideration if other instruments are being recorded, and it records well with a microphone. The GC also curbed the kind of sonic bloom that often caused feedback with bigger guitars on stage. The GC body geometry and sound have continued to evolve in recent years. In 2004, the body depth was expanded by a quarter-inch, and it was revoiced to add volume and bass response, giving the GC a tone that belies its intimate size.

It paid dividends both in terms of its "soft touch" feel (less string tension), enhanced playability (less stretching across the frets), and a deeper, richer tone.

Taylor has also paired a Bigsby vibrato tailpiece with a roller bridge on the Taylor T3/B Guitar, giving players a high-performance vibrato bar without pitch issues. What's great about the T3/B electric guitar is the way it soups-up a semi-hollowbody's essential sound, transforming it into a hotrod guitar capable of a wider range of tones as a result of the pickups, coil-splitting, and unique tone control. All on top of signature Taylor traits you can always count on, like superb intonation and easy playability.Pickups Taylor's unique humbuckers balance the sweetness of a vintage pickup sound—where you hear the woods and the ways the guitar is responding to the player—with the power to fully drive an amp without being super hot and overpounding it. The T3 pickups features a pair of full-size Style 2 HD (high definition) humbuckers. Style 2 pickups unleash raw rock power and great sustain without sacrificing balance or great tone. A 3-way switch covers 3 standard configurations: full neck, neck/bridge and full bridge. The T3 pickups also have old-school coil-splitting. Push/Pull Control Knobs The Taylor T3/B volume and tone knobs both utilize push/pull pots, which give players 2 tiers of unique tone control. Pulling up on the volume knob activates a coil splitter, that in effect turns the humbuckers into single coils. The guitar's 3-way switch functions the same way, allowing you to choose between full neck, neck/bridge and full bridge single coil tones. In its down position, the tone knob boosts the midrange. Pulling up the knob engages a second capacitor, which mellows the tone without squashing it into a muddy sound. Within that tonal range is a fresh Taylor electric voice: a mellow, old-school jazz tone that's loaded with warmth and fatness. And there's a lot of cool rock tones in-between.Body/Neck Design The sapele T3 body is designed as a semi-hollowbody electric. The body is hollowed out except for a solid block of wood that runs down the length of the center. The T3 guitar has no acoustic bracing inside it. The quilted maple top is laid directly on top of the internal block like the Taylor Solid Body. The sapele neck incorporates Taylor's rock-solid single-bolt T-Lock, and a precisely milled pocket spacer is used to secure the perfect neck angle. The T3 also has beefier electric-style frets, giving electric players a familiar feel.The T3/B Bridge/Tailpiece Pairing an authentic Bigsby vibrato tailpiece with a roller bridge was the key to achieving. ...details  Taylor Guitars > Acoustic-Electric Guitars > 6 String Acoustic-Electric Guitars > Taylor 714-CE Grand Auditorium Cutaway Acoustic-Electric Guitar Natural.

Introduced in 1994 as a limited edition to commemorate Taylor's 20th Anniversary, the GA would go on to establish itself as a definitive Bob Taylor original.Tonally, the NS64ce guitar embodied the signature qualities of balance, clarity, and versatility that became hallmark Taylor traits. Visually, the shape gave the world an equally balanced and refined aesthetic of smooth curves. In both respects, the Taylor GA was at once big enough and small enough to cover a lot of ground. The goal, according to Bob Taylor, was simply to make a guitar that was big like a dreadnought, but without a dreadnought's traditionally boomy sound. "I was looking for a good, clear tone that had volume when you played fingerstyle, but then when you strummed didn't have too much bass." The GA has the width and depth of a dreadnought, but its tapered waist and contours give it the appearance of a smaller instrument, making it comfortable to play. The tonal balance means it's full in the lower register, present in the midrange, and sparkling on the treble strings.The GA's tonal balance has made it a favorite among artists AND engineers. "You put a mic in front of the guitar and set everything to zero, you turn on the tape, and you play," Bob continues. "We had a lot of studio owners and engineers buy those guitars just to put in the studio, because when things started going bad with players' guitars during a session, the engineer would say, 'We can get this job done today if you just play this guitar.' So that was sort of what we had in mind with that. And a lot of it was the shape.

Appointments include a bound ebony neck, chrome plated tuners, and an Indian rosewood headstock overlay. Simple, traditional styling and renowned Taylor craftsmanship make this one of their most popular models.The traditional shape and sound have been refined to blend power with a more balanced response Bob Taylor launched his career crafting Dreadnoughts, working with shapes he inherited from Sam Radding, the owner of the American Dream guitar shop, where he and Taylor co-founder Kurt Listug got their start. The legacy of this shape carried a powerful, traditional sound that Bob gradually reworked into a refined Taylor tone and more smoothly contoured look. The rosewood/spruce 810 became a Taylor stalwart and was for many years Bob's preferred model, favored for its robust tone and understated, workmanlike aesthetic. In 2003 the Dread underwent a major revoicing to give it a more competitive identity among old school flatpickers. A cannon, it boasted 50 percent more volume (which also meant more dynamic range), yielded an appreciably stronger bass response, and let out a hearty growl when pickers dug in, all without upsetting Taylor's sonic balance. As Bob put it during the revoicing process: "I want to be able to play a Dreadnought on the bass strings and then on these middle D and G strings and have it sound like the same guitar." Bob later applied some of his short-scale ideas to the 710ce-L9 limited in 2005, and it proved to be a winner. Like the short-scale GC, the slinkier feel allowed players to lighten up on their attack and play up the neck. It gave the Dreadnought more versatility than it had ever seen. Short-scale or standard, the Taylor Dreadnought delivers a vintage sound for the 21st Century.

So that was sort of what we had in mind with that. And a lot of it was the shape. We made a few bracing changes, but we depended on the shape to change that tone."

The T3/B continues Taylor's quest to expand the range of tones available to the electric player. Inspired by both the T5 and the SolidBody, they've taken the classic semi-hollowbody sound and applied their signature Taylor design and tonal touches, blending high-definition Style 2 pickups with coil-splitting capability to give players killer humbucker and single-coil sounds in one guitar. A push-pull tone knob brings 2 sweeping modes of tone control. Taylor has also paired a Bigsby vibrato tailpiece with a roller bridge on the Taylor T3/B Guitar, giving players a high-performance vibrato bar without pitch issues. What's great about the T3/B electric guitar is the way it soups-up a semi-hollowbody's essential sound, transforming it into a hotrod guitar capable of a wider range of tones as a result of the pickups, coil-splitting, and unique tone control. All on top of signature Taylor traits you can always count on, like superb intonation and easy playability.Pickups Taylor's unique humbuckers balance the sweetness of a vintage pickup sound—where you hear the woods and the ways the guitar is responding to the player—with the power to fully drive an amp without being super hot and overpounding it. The T3 pickups features a pair of full-size Style 2 HD (high definition) humbuckers. Style 2 pickups unleash raw rock power and great sustain without sacrificing balance or great tone. A 3-way switch covers 3 standard configurations: full neck, neck/bridge and full bridge. The T3 pickups also have old-school coil-splitting. Push/Pull Control Knobs The Taylor T3/B volume and tone knobs both utilize push/pull pots, which give players 2 tiers of unique tone control. Pulling up on the volume knob activates a coil splitter, that in effect turns the humbuckers into single coils. The guitar's 3-way switch functions the same way, allowing you to choose between full neck, neck/bridge and full bridge single coil tones. In its down position, the tone knob boosts the midrange. Pulling up the knob engages a second capacitor, which mellows the tone without squashing it into a muddy sound. Within that tonal range is a fresh Taylor electric voice: a mellow, old-school jazz tone that's loaded with warmth and fatness. And there's a lot of cool rock tones in-between.Body/Neck Design The sapele T3 body is designed as a semi-hollowbody electric. The body is hollowed out except for a solid block of wood that runs down the length of the center. The T3 guitar has no acoustic bracing inside it. The quilted maple top is laid directly on top of the internal block like the Taylor Solid Body. The sapele neck incorporates Taylor's rock-solid single-bolt T-Lock, and a precisely milled pocket spacer is used to secure the perfect neck angle.

The Taylor SB-XSC2-T Classic electric guitar has a sharp, modern-retro look and features a solid ash body with a vintage crushed pearl pickguard, maple neck and chrome hardware. The full-output Style 1 mini humbuckers are clear, spanky, tone-rich and ready to relay your attitude. Tone Chambers Chambering on electric guitar bodies has been used primarily to lighten the body weight. Taylor has applied their acoustic expertise to chambering the SB-XSC2-T in order to create the optimal acoustic "bloom." This enhances sustain, which is otherwise hard to create on an electric guitar when everything is locked down.Contours with Binding Most electric guitars either have a hard edge with binding or sleek contouring. Taylor is able to integrate the two in a unique way, because of the way they inset the guitar top into the body. This enables them to define an edge with binding and then contour up to that edge. Forearm and cutaway contours are comfortable and especially beautiful with elegant binding trim.Neck Taylor’s innovative T-Lock neck joint brings Taylor's trademark consistency and comfort into the solid body player's hands. The contouring makes the neck feel and look great, especially up by the body. The Taylor SB-XSC2-T guitar has no heel, and the asymmetrical curve where it meets the body creates a smooth aesthetic line that flows into the cutaway.Pickups The Taylor SB-XSC2-T Classic guitar features a plug and play pickguard loaded with Style 3 noiseless single-coil pickups that respond with all the breathiness, sparkle and other distinctive character of the single coil sound, but without any of the traditional buzz, hum or other sonic artifacts. Vintage sweetness together with the power to drive an amp gives you the best of both worlds, plus some fresh sounds that'll lead you to a world of your own.Fused String Ground Taylor has also added a fused string ground (wired to the switch plate inside the guitar), so that in the event of faulty ground or funky wiring, the 5-milliamp fuse will fry instead of you. If the fuse blows, your Taylor guitar will still play, but it may be susceptible to more noise until you can replace it, which is easy to do, especially since you won't be in the hospital.Tone Control Tone controls on electric guitars are often along for the ride. This is not the case with the Taylor SB-XSC2-T electric guitar. The first two-thirds of the knob rotation acts like a traditional tone control. The last third, especially when all the way at the end, starts peaking the mids, yielding a killer nasal tone that resembles playing through a semi-cocked Wah-wah pedal. It's ideal for slide playing, or as a different tonal color for solos or throaty rhythm parts. The tone control together with the different pickup settings give you a whole new set of flavors to play with.Knobs Designed in-house, the knobs on the Taylor SB-XSC2-T guitar had to look uniquely cool, yet more importantly, feel good to the touc. |
