Taylor Guitars Urban Ash And Sitka Spruce For Warm, Balanced ToneThe combination of urban ash and Sitka spruce creates a tonal foundation that is both warm and articulate. Urban ash, sourced from Southern California city trees, offers a tonal character similar to mahogany, with rich midrange warmth and a woody resonance that complements the bright, clear highs of Sitka spruce. This pairing ensures a balanced voice that handles dynamic strumming and delicate fingerpicking with equal finesse. The Sitka spruce top also provides excellent headroom, allowing the instrument to respond effortlessly to more aggressive playing without losing clarity or definition. Together, these tonewoods produce a sound that is harmonically rich and musically versatile, with a focus on tonal depth and projection.

This innovation allows chords to ring out with a consistent harmonic richness while ensuring individual notes remain clear and defined, even in complex arrangements. The enhanced sustain and tonal purity make it easier to achieve a professional-quality sound, whether you're performing live or recording in the studio. With V-Class bracing, this guitar delivers a dynamic and resonant playing experience that inspires creativity. Acoustic Electric Guitar With Taylor ES2 Electronics For Natural AmplificationThe Expression System 2 (ES2) pickup captures the full tonal character of this acoustic-electric guitar with remarkable accuracy. Positioned behind the saddle, the three calibrated sensors ensure optimal contact with the bridge, allowing the natural resonance of the instrument to shine through.

An onboard phase switch helps to minimize feedback in live settings, making this model equally suited for stage and studio use. Whether plugged into a PA system or an acoustic amplifier, the ES2 delivers consistent, high-quality sound in any environment.

"Historically, maple has actually been one of the classic tonewoods for other stringed instruments in the violin family. Taylor has voiced its maple 600s to re-introduce its true voice to guitar players, and the results have been amazing. If you have preconceptions about maple, check them at the door, because these guitars deliver plenty of the warmth, depth, richness and sustain your ears crave in an acoustic guitar, without losing the clarity and transparency that allows maple to reflect the player and fit into a mix with other instruments. All Taylor 600 Series instruments include a deluxe Taylor hard shell case for optimal fit and protection. Body Shape Taylor's Grand Concert is slightly smaller that its Grand Auditorium and yields controlled overtones, so the sound won't occupy a lot of sonic space. This is often a key consideration when other instruments are in the mix, such as in a performance or recording environment, and it allows the guitar to be heard more clearly. The Grand Concert pairs well with both 14-fret and 12-fret neck-to-body construction, and offers an articulate voice with top-end chime. It's perfect for fingerstyle players and light strummers, though flatpickers are known to enjoy its tonal character too. Its intimate size makes it lap/couch-friendly, and a great fit for players who find smaller instruments more physically comfortable. Tone Wood Pairing A guitar's top is the primary filter and distributor of vibrating string energy through the guitar, which means it has a huge impact on its sound. Sitka Spruce is the most prevalent guitar top wood of the modern era. It blends stiffness and elasticity in just the right proportions which translates into broad dynamic range with crisp articulation. 600 Series guitars feature a special seasoning process for the spruce top called torrefaction, a method of roasting the wood to produce an aged tonal character with greater acoustic resonance and responsiveness. Traditionally known for having a focused tone with a fast note decay that cuts through a mix, Taylor's maple (back and sides) guitars have been voiced to produce greater warmth, complexity, volume, sustain and responsiveness, while retaining maple’s naturally clear, linear qualities. The clarity of the high end is still there, but the bottom end has been extended. The result is a more multi-dimensional sound that gives players the kind of musical versatility of other classic tonewoods, making these maple models a compelling choice as a primary guitar, not just a stage guitar. These maple guitars are voiced to be very reflective of the player’s technique, so a player with a dynamic playing style or someone who likes to vary their picking attack will appreciate how easily those playing nuances come through in the tonal response. Electronics Taylor's ES2 is a revolutionary pickup design that delivers the latest in Taylor’s ongoing innovation in acoustic guitar amplification. The heart of the Expression System 2 is Taylor’s patented behind-the-saddle pickup, which features three uniquely positioned and individually calibrated pickup sensors. Because the pickup doesn't sit under the saddle, the bottom of the saddle comes in full contact with the bridge, allowing all the nuance of the guitar's tone to come through clearly whether playing acoustically or plugged-in. The location of the sensors enables a more dynamic range of acoustic sound to be captured than ever before while playing plugged-in. Together with Taylor’s custom-designed “professional audio”-grade preamp, this system produces exceptional amplified tone and responsiveness. On stage through a PA, plugged into your favorite acoustic amplifier, or direct into recording software, the Expression System 2 faithfully conveys the voice of your Taylor guitar.
