But with this one-off Custom-GS-12-9296 12-string acoustic-electric just happens to be one of those opportunities. Purchased off the NAMM 2016 floor directly from Taylor's booth, the Custom-GS-12-9296 is a sharp-looking Grand Symphony model comprised of an AA quilt maple body and Sitka spruce top adorned with figured Hawaiian koa binding, fiber purling, a tree inlay made from a koa trunk, paua, and black oyster, an aged cherryburst gloss finish. Finishing it off is Taylor's Expression System 2 electronics for exceptional plugged-in accuracy.Comes with brown hardshell case.Grand SymphonySlightly bigger than Taylors Grand Auditorium body style, the Grand Symphony 816ce yields a rich and powerful sound without sacrificing bell-like articulation. It makes a potent strummer, and dynamic fingerstylists will enjoy the thick, full-bodied character of the notes. Sitka SpruceThe most commonly used wood for guitar tops, Sitka generates a broad dynamic range and accommodates numerous playing styles, from aggressive strumming to fingerpicking.MapleMaple has long been associated with a bright acoustic sound, but Taylors maple guitars are voiced to bring out greater warmth, richness and sustain. This broadens maples tonal range from a single-dimension sound to a more musical, more versatile voice.Expression System 2Taylors breakthrough acoustic pickup marks a major advance in piezo technology thanks to a patented behind-the-saddle design. The unique placement of three piezo sensors captures a more dynamic range of acoustic sound and responds well in a variety of settings.
