TAYLOR'S GRAND PACIFIC DREADNOUGHTS ARE HERE!
|
Until now, the Taylor guitar company has been known for their modern approach to acoustic tone—a vibrant sound with precise and well-defined individual notes. But with Taylor’s versatile new round-shoulder dreadnought, a whole new sonic personality is added to the Taylor line. With its warm, seasoned sound and clear low-end power, it’s a Taylor like you’ve never heard before. Drawing inspiration from traditional acoustic music, master guitar designer Andy Powers leveraged the tone-shaping control of his award-winning V-Class bracing to design the Grand Pacific acoustic guitar. Broad, overlapping notes blend into a unified harmony to create a warm and inviting sound. You’ll be inspired in a whole new way.
Come into the shop to see what makes these guitars so special. To learn more about the Grand Pacific itself, click here. For the latest inventory in stock, please call us at 303-449-0516 |
