OVERVIEW

Bigleaf maple is paired with a Sitka spruce top featuring a new bracing scheme.

While maple is known for its bright tone and fast decay, the Grand Orchestra design enriches maples natural tonal palette to produce a full-bodied voice with impressive sustain. Bigleaf maple is paired with a Sitka spruce top featuring a new bracing scheme, which adds responsiveness to the powerful output. A limited batch of these First Edition models also boast several premium features: AA-grade maple, a three-piece back, Adirondack spruce bracing for a tonal turbo boost, and a Twisted Oval headstock inlay to match the fretboard inlays. Like all First Edition models, it also features a custom label and come in a case with a customized First Edition nameplate.

Grand Orchestra (GO)
Body Length: 20-5/8" / Body Width: 16-3/4" / Body Depth: 5"
Taylor's biggest, most complex voice is also balanced and responsive.

Just as the Grand Symphony yields a deeper, more powerful voice than the Grand Auditorium, the Grand Orchestra stands out as a more robust alternative to the Grand Symphony. The GO shape features a slightly bigger footprint and a deeper body, which helps produce a potent low-end response. Under the hood, a new bracing scheme optimizes the movement of the soundboard to produce louder, more complex tone with incredible sustain. What separates the Grand Orchestra from other big-bodied guitars is how balanced the tone is from top to bottom, especially given its brawny bass. And unlike other big-body guitars that require an aggressive attack to get the top moving, the GO is responsive to a light touch, rewarding players who have a dynamic playing style. If you crave a guitar sound thats brimming with power and rich detail, the Grand Orchestra wont disappoint. From big cowboy chords to lush fingerstyle arrangements, the Grand Orchestra might be the most expressive and versatile big guitar you ever play.
