Taylor Guitars GS8 Grand Symphony Acoustic Guitar Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Wow...I'm surprised there aren't any reviews on this guitar..There are many on musicians friend and guitar center websites though. Well, I have had this guitar for about 2 years now and I must say it is the best guitar I have! It's my favorite and I'll have it for many, many years. I play in our church's praise band and this guitar is robust, full and rings out like a bell! I'm not going to get technical in my review but more emotional. This guitar sounds, feels & plays like a gem! It's so beautiful...feels solid and produces an incredible tone! The expression system is the best and for a fairly high end, all wood guitar you can't lose with this one! I shopped around for quite a while before I settled on this one and have been very pleased! The guitar actually sounds better as it "opens up" with age. So for you Taylor people or even non-Taylor give this one a try and I guarantee you won't be disappointed. Comes with a beautiful dark brown hardshell case and a beautiful glossy finish. The wood is so beautiful & the abalone inlays are top notch! This is one pretty instrument but a workhorse too! Loud and a pure tonemaster!

Introduced in 2006, the Grand Symphony body is an original design from top to bottom--and the first new Taylor shape in over a decade. It was a hit right out of the gate. Expect acoustic power in every note, with deep piano-like bass, rich mids, clear and balanced highs, and plenty of volume. With a Sitka spruce top, the GS8 has an added touch of crispness to big, bold tone of its rosewood sides and back.

Taylor's Grand Symphony ShapeThe Grand Symphony (GS) is the first original shape from Bob Taylor since he unveiled the Grand Auditorium (GA) in 1995. Though you might see similarities to a GA, the GS is unique in both sound and design. Significant changes in its geometry yield a deeper, more piano-like bass. The waist is moved a bit higher, and is 3/8 of an inch wider. The result is a reduction in the "pinching" of the waist, which releases more tonal output from the guitar. Finally, the lower bout is expanded, making it feel slightly rounder. They're subtle changes that yield a far-from-subtle change in tone. Complementing the robust bass from the GS body, volume and low-end sustain are full, rich mids and clear, balanced highs. The GS is a unique sound and a new dimension in Taylor tone.
