Overview
Travelers and players who want a small guitar with a full voice get Taylor's scaled down Grand Symphony, with a Sitka spruce top over layered rosewood and an ebony fingerboard. Taylor electronics let it plug in anywhere, and a case comes with it.
Big sound from a small body is the case, so it works for travel, practice and small gigs. The gloss finish and ebony board dress it up. The short scale lowers tension, which feels slacker to players used to full size guitars.
Who it's for
Players who carry a guitar on trips or keep one by the couch, and smaller players. Strummers wanting full size bass and projection should choose a larger body.
Pros and cons
- Compact and easy to carry
- Full, punchy tone
- ES2 pickup for stage use
- Short scale feels slacker
- Laminate back and sides
- Less bass than full size
Performance notes
A short scale reduces string tension, making bends and fretting easier but giving a looser feel. The spruce top over rosewood adds bass and sparkle for its size. The onboard system senses string vibration for a natural plugged in tone.
