Offering the balanced highs and supportive lows of the brand’s flagship, medium-sized body shape, fit for any playing style, these 900 series models boast the brand’s trademark modern feel and articulate response. Additionally, Taylor’s ES2 electronics provide ample tonal control and responsiveness.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e900 Series\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhile Indian rosewood’s rich musical range makes it a favorite Taylor guitar tonewood among acoustic lovers and serves as the backbone of more than one series in the catalog, Taylor 900 series models pair Indian rosewood’s musical virtues with a Sitka spruce top—a Bob Taylor favorite—plus elegant appointments, which give these models a level of sophistication that elevates them to a class all their own. Distinctive features in 900 series models include a radius-style armrest, Gotoh 510 tuning machines, Taylor’s Ascension inlay scheme, paua\/koa edge trim, an ebony backstrap, and a pickguard free top. \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\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSerial #: \u003c\/b\u003e1201272080\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight: \u003c\/b\u003e4 lbs 12 oz\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eScale Length: \u003c\/b\u003e25-1\/2\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNut \u0026amp; Saddle:\u003c\/b\u003e Black Graphite, Micarta saddle\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBracing: \u003c\/b\u003eV-Class with Relief Rout\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTruss Rod Cover: \u003c\/b\u003eWest African Ebony\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNumber of Frets:\u003c\/b\u003e 20\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\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: \u003c\/b\u003eWest African Ebony\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTop Finish:\u003c\/b\u003e Gloss 3.5\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBack Config:\u003c\/b\u003e 2-piece No Wedge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBackstrap Finish: \u003c\/b\u003eGloss\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRosette Size:\u003c\/b\u003e 2014 800 Series\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBack\/Side Finish:\u003c\/b\u003e Gloss 3.5\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eArmrest Binding:\u003c\/b\u003e West African Ebony\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBackstrap Wood: \u003c\/b\u003eMatch Binding\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRosette Mat.:\u003c\/b\u003e Paua\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNeck Width: \u003c\/b\u003e1-3\/4”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFretboard Inlay:\u003c\/b\u003e Ascension\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFretboard Binding:\u003c\/b\u003e West African Ebony\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eHeel Cap Binding:\u003c\/b\u003e West African Ebony\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eType of Neck Joint:\u003c\/b\u003e Scarf\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNeck\/Heel: \u003c\/b\u003eTropical Mahogany\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSitka Neck Finish:\u003c\/b\u003e Satin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eHeel Length:\u003c\/b\u003e 3-1\/2”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePeghead Finish: \u003c\/b\u003eGloss\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePeghead Binding:\u003c\/b\u003e West African Ebony\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePeghead Type: \u003c\/b\u003eStandard\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePeghead Purfling: \u003c\/b\u003eKoa\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eHeadstock Overlay: \u003c\/b\u003eWest African Ebony\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePeghead Inlay: \u003c\/b\u003eAscension\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePeghead Logo: \u003c\/b\u003eTaylor Mother of Pearl\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBridge Pins: \u003c\/b\u003eWest African Ebony\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eButtons: \u003c\/b\u003eGold\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFingerboard Ext:\u003c\/b\u003e Koa\/Paua\/Koa\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eEdge Trim:\u003c\/b\u003e Koa\/Paua\/Koa","brand":"Taylor","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39774771150983,"sku":"A903002111000077000-2611-1201272080","price":102144.0,"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-914ce-grand-auditorium-sitka-rosewood-es2-a903002111000077000-2611-1201272080-29034168221831.jpg?v=1645650332","url":"https:\/\/www.chicagomusicexchange.com\/en-mx\/products\/taylor-914ce-grand-auditorium-sitkarosewood-es2-serial-1053494","provider":"Chicago Music Exchange","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
