Taylor's T5 was certainly one of the guitar sensations of 2005, and has almost instantly become the in-demand instrument for thousands of players. So what can Taylor do to top it? Bob Taylor knew his company owed it to customers to let them know that the company's head was still very much in the acoustic game. The brand new GS (Grand Symphony) Series proves that point and then some! Taylor GS Series Acoustic Guitar at a Glance: A refined shape, designed for maximum projection Deep, piano-like bass and full midrange Shape refinements and Taylor X-bracing A simple design with "back to basics" appeal A unique new series with four tonewood combinations A refined shape, designed for maximum projection Taylor had a sound in mind, and a shape that he thought would yield that sound. The new GS centers on the concept of the Grand Auditorium, with the waist moved up toward the neck, and the lower bout a little more "pregnant." Make the guitar a little bit bigger, and in reality, it's a lot bigger. The new GS body shape does bear some similarities in shape to the Grand Auditorium, but it's a whole new guitar.

And if you just want to strum or play fingerstyle, the GS is loud and really bright. Shape refinements and Taylor X-bracing The new shape was officially christened the Grand Symphony, or GS. In addition to the body's modified dimensions, other shape refinements, such as a more sloped shoulder, were incorporated to give the GS unique aesthetic appeal. Inside the guitar, the GS bracing is a standard Taylor bracing scheme, which includes the forward-shifted X-bracing and the relief rout around the outer edge of the soundboard. A few other very subtle structural changes were made in top, back, and side thickness, but the distinctive tonal properties remain predominantly shape-driven. A simple design with "back to basics" appeal Taylor assumed a back-to-basics design approach with the GS, focusing purely on tone. In returning to an acoustic roots concept, the decision was made not to make a cutaway version of the GS, at least initially. An option for electronics is av
