Boasting ample tonal control and responsiveness provided by Taylor’s onboard ES2 electronics, all 800 series guitars pair top-tier craftsmanship with time-honored tonewoods to produce a bold, contemporary voice.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e800 Series\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTaylor’s 800 series starts with a time-honored pairing of all-star tonewoods combined with top-tier craftsmanship to boast refined aesthetic touches, plus transformative design features that dial up the volume and sustain. The Indian rosewood back and sides married with a Sitka spruce top give 800 series instruments ample sonic versatility, with a rich harmonic texture and ringing overtones, resulting in unmatched clarity and balance to produce a distinctively bold, contemporary acoustic guitar voice.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eGrand Auditorium Cutaway\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe brand’s flagship body shape, the Taylor Grand Auditorium’s medium size offers balanced highs and supportive lows, making it a versatile choice that’s fit for nearly any playing style. 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: \u003c\/b\u003eDoes a cutaway diminish a guitar’s tonal output? \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\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 Concert 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\u003e1211092103\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight: \u003c\/b\u003e4lbs 11oz\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eScale Length:\u003c\/b\u003e 25-1\/2\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNut \u0026amp; Saddle:\u003c\/b\u003e Black Tusq Nut, Micarta Saddle\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBracing:\u003c\/b\u003e V-Class\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTruss Rod Cover:\u003c\/b\u003e West African Crelicam Ebony\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePickguard:\u003c\/b\u003e Rosewood\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNumber of Frets:\u003c\/b\u003e 20\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTuners: \u003c\/b\u003eSmoked Nickel\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCase:\u003c\/b\u003e Taylor Deluxe Hardshell Brown\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBody Length:\u003c\/b\u003e 20\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBody Width:\u003c\/b\u003e 16\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBody Depth:\u003c\/b\u003e 4 5\/8\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding\/Edge Treatment: \u003c\/b\u003eRock Maple\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTop Finish:\u003c\/b\u003e Gloss 4.5\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBack Config: \u003c\/b\u003e2-piece No Wedge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRosette Size:\u003c\/b\u003e Single Ring\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBack\/Side Finish: \u003c\/b\u003eGloss 4.5\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eArmrest Binding: \u003c\/b\u003eRadius, Indian Rosewood\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBackstrap Wood:\u003c\/b\u003e None\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRosette Mat.: \u003c\/b\u003eAbalone Stain\/SunburstNone\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eArmrest:\u003c\/b\u003e Yes\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNeck Width: \u003c\/b\u003e1-3\/4\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFretboard Inlay: \u003c\/b\u003eElement\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFretboard Binding\/Edge Treatment: \u003c\/b\u003ePale Non-Figured Maple\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eHeel Cap Binding: \u003c\/b\u003eWest African Crelicam 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\u003e West African Crelicam Ebony\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNeck Finish: \u003c\/b\u003eSatin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eHeel Length: \u003c\/b\u003e3-1\/2\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePeghead Finish:\u003c\/b\u003e Gloss\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePeghead Binding:\u003c\/b\u003e West African Crelicam Ebony\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePeghead Type: \u003c\/b\u003eStandard\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePeghead Purfling:\u003c\/b\u003e Maple\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eHeadstock Overlay:\u003c\/b\u003e West African Crelicam Ebony\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePeghead Inlay: \u003c\/b\u003eElement\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 with Green Abalone Dots\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eButtons: \u003c\/b\u003eSmoked Nickel\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFingerboard Ext:\u003c\/b\u003e None\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eEdge Trim:\u003c\/b\u003e Indian Rosewood","brand":"Taylor","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40437620605063,"sku":"A80400211100007A000-1211092103","price":70033.0,"currency_code":"MXN","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0343\/4368\/2183\/products\/taylor-acoustic-guitars-om-and-auditorium-taylor-814ce-grand-auditorium-sitka-rosewood-es2-natural-a80400211100007a000-1211092103-30349083345031.jpg?v=1679504692","url":"https:\/\/www.chicagomusicexchange.com\/en-mx\/products\/taylor-814ce-grand-auditorium-sitkarosewood-es2-natural-1576330","provider":"Chicago Music Exchange","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
