Taylor Acoustic Guitar Buyer's Guide: Grand Symphony

Another original Bob Taylor design, the Taylor Grand Symphony body shape earned a "Players Choice" award from Guitar Player magazine shortly after its debut. The Grand Symphony has a powerful sound with a tight, robust low end, yet remains clear and articulate in the upper register. Aggressive players will love this guitar, as it is well-suited for flatpicking and hard-strumming styles.

With a wider waist, and larger lower bout than the Grand Auditorium, the Grand Symphony is at home in the hands of players who like to strum hard and play loud. If the model number ends with a 6, it's a Grand Symphony. For example: 816e.
