Sound Pure's Take
Condition: Used, Excellent
SP Luthier Notes: This instrument has been carefully inspected and, if necessary, serviced by our certified luthier to ensure it is in excellent playing condition.
The Taylor Custom Grand Symphony is a bold, articulate acoustic that delivers clear projection with a refined, hi-fi character. Its Sitka spruce top and quilted maple body create a bright, focused tone with tight lows, crisp highs, and excellent note separation. The Grand Symphony shape adds power and headroom, while the short scale keeps the feel comfortable and responsive. V-Class bracing enhances sustain and consistency across the neck. Clean, balanced, and highly detailed, this Custom build offers a clear, modern voice that sits well in a mix.
