Boasting bold, balanced tone, the Taylor Grand Auditorium provides vibrant, well-defined sound across the entire tonal spectrum, thanks to a more tapered waist than a traditional dreadnought, making the Taylor Grand Auditorium the Swiss Army Knife of Taylor’s body shapes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eQ: Does a cutaway diminish a guitar’s tonal output? \u003cbr\u003eA: \u003c\/b\u003eNot in a discernible way. We recommend you decide based on whether you want that extra upper-fretboard range; or, if you simply have an aesthetic preference—either for a more traditional, symmetrical look of a non-cutaway, or in favor of the sleek, more modern contouring that the cutaway offers. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eV-Class Bracing\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Taylor Grand Pacific features Taylor’s innovative new V-Class bracing, which lets the soundboard of the guitar vibrate naturally, increasing sustain and overall cohesiveness, and generating additional volume without sacrificing sustain. This design puts the body more in tune with the strings, improving articulation and harmonic alignment,  resulting in a sound that is optimally warm and seasoned, nicely blended, and full of luscious low end without being muddy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eES2 Electronics\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Taylor Expression System 2 (ES2) delivers the latest technology in Taylor acoustic guitar amplification. The heart of the ES2 system is Taylor’s patented behind-the-saddle pickup, featuring three uniquely positioned and individually calibrated pickup sensors. The new positioning enables the piezo pickup’s crystals to respond more naturally to the guitar’s energy as it is transferred through the saddle, with three pickup sensors installed behind the saddle, through the bridge, with three tiny Allen screws that calibrate the position of the sensors in relation to the saddle. Together with Taylor’s custom-designed preamp, this ES2 system produces exceptional amplified tone and responsiveness.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSerial #: \u003c\/b\u003e1209272112\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 4lbs 11oz\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eScale Length: \u003c\/b\u003e25-1\/2\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNut \u0026amp; Saddle: \u003c\/b\u003eBlack Graphite, Micarta saddle\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBracing:\u003c\/b\u003e V-Class\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTruss Rod Cover: \u003c\/b\u003eWest African Ebony\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePickguard: \u003c\/b\u003eNone\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNumber of Frets: \u003c\/b\u003e20\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTuners:\u003c\/b\u003e Gotoh\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCase: \u003c\/b\u003eTaylor Deluxe Hardshell Brown\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBody Length: \u003c\/b\u003e20\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBody Width: \u003c\/b\u003e16\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBody Depth:\u003c\/b\u003e 4 5\/8\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding\/Edge Treatment:\u003c\/b\u003e West African Ebony\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTop Finish: \u003c\/b\u003eSilent Satin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBack Config: \u003c\/b\u003e2 or 3 piece No Wedge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBackstrap Finish:\u003c\/b\u003e None\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRosette Size:\u003c\/b\u003e Single Ring\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBridge Inlay: \u003c\/b\u003eNone\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBack\/Side Finish:\u003c\/b\u003e Silent Satin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eArmrest Binding: \u003c\/b\u003eBeveled, inset Koa\/Paua\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBackstrap Wood:\u003c\/b\u003e None\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRosette Mat.: \u003c\/b\u003eKoa\/Fiber\/Paua\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eStain\/Sunburst:\u003c\/b\u003e Kona Burst\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWedge:\u003c\/b\u003e None\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eArmrest:\u003c\/b\u003e Yes\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNeck Width:\u003c\/b\u003e 1-3\/4\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFretboard Inlay:\u003c\/b\u003e Spring Vine\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFretboard Binding\/Edge Treatment:\u003c\/b\u003e West African Ebony\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eHeel Cap Binding: \u003c\/b\u003eWest African Ebony\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eType of Neck Joint: \u003c\/b\u003eTaylor Neck\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNeck\/Heel: \u003c\/b\u003eTropical Mahogany\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFretboard Wood: \u003c\/b\u003eWest African Ebony\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNeck Finish: \u003c\/b\u003eSatin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eHeel Length: \u003c\/b\u003e3-1\/4\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePeghead Finish: \u003c\/b\u003eSatin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePeghead Binding:\u003c\/b\u003e West African Ebony\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePeghead Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Standard\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePeghead Purfling:\u003c\/b\u003e Koa\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eHeadstock Overlay\u003c\/b\u003e: West African Ebony\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePeghead Inlay: \u003c\/b\u003eSpring Vine\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePeghead Logo:\u003c\/b\u003e Taylor Mother of Pearl\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBridge Pins:\u003c\/b\u003e West African Ebony\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eButtons: \u003c\/b\u003eGold\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFingerboard Ext:\u003c\/b\u003e None\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eEdge Trim:\u003c\/b\u003e Koa\/Paua\/Koa","brand":"Taylor","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40254873305223,"sku":"AK0200261100018S240-1209272112","price":4769.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0343\/4368\/2183\/products\/taylor-acoustic-guitars-om-and-auditorium-taylor-k24ce-builder-s-edition-grand-auditorium-kona-burst-es2-ak0200261100018s240-1209272112-29915688337543.jpg?v=1666974720","url":"https:\/\/www.chicagomusicexchange.com\/en-gb\/products\/taylor-k24ce-builders-edition-grand-auditorium-kona-1409028","provider":"Chicago Music Exchange","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
