The Taylor 326ce Grand Symphony models offer the high-fidelity voice and immersive, reverb-like effects produced by a larger air chamber coupled with V-class bracing and an innovative soundport cutaway, with a modern feel and articulate response—as well as easy access to the upper frets allowed by the contoured cutaway—while the all-mahogany body’s naturally compressed tone makes it perfect for singers. Plus, Taylor’s ES2 electronics provide ample tonal control and responsiveness.
300 Series
Taylor’s 300 series all-mahogany instruments offer players heightened touch sensitivity, plus more focused fundamental frequencies around the midrange to cut through the mix—providing a naturally compressed sound around the center of the EQ that’s ideal for a guitar player who sings and plays at the same time.
Grand Symphony
The Taylor Grand Symphony body shape features a larger air chamber than the Grand Auditorium, combined with an innovative soundport cutaway, both of which work together with the V-Class bracing to produce a high-fidelity, symphonic voice that’s unique among Taylor’s offering of acoustic guitar body shapes. Radiating sound to create an immersive, reverb-like effect with remarkable sustain, the Taylor Grand Symphony features a slightly shorter 24 7/8-inch scale length and is designed to offer seasoned players a whole new acoustic experience.
V-Class Bracing
The Taylor Grand Symphony 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.
ES2 Electronics
The 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.
