This 12-string unleashes a remarkably rich voice thanks to rosewood’s sweeping tonal range and natural overtone sparkle, together with the natural double-course shimmer of the 12-string design. Even better, all that high-fidelity detail rings out with a level of clarity and balance that have come to define the Taylor sound. The Lutz spruce top and other 700 Series voicing refinements boost the dynamic range, while the Grand Symphony body rewards strummers with piano-like bass notes and a meaty lower midrange topped with bold trebles. Finely calibrated aesthetic details include Hawaiian koa binding, a herringbone-style rosette of Douglas fir with maple/black accents, and bias-cut Douglas fir top trim, along with a “weathered brown” pickguard design with a visual pattern reminiscent of leather. The guitar’s Florentine cutaway invites upper fretboard exploration, while Taylor’s proprietary Expression System® 2 pickup and preamp capture all that lush 12-string acoustic detail whenever you want to plug in.
