This Grand Auditorium features a solid spruce top paired with Indian rosewood back and sides, a time-tested tonewood combo that yields a richly textured voice with clear trebles, rumbling lows and a slight scoop in the midrange, all framed by lush harmonic overtones that bloom as notes sustain out. Inside, our scalloped V-Class bracing adds even more power, warmth and open-string expressiveness, while the long-tenon Action Control Neck enhances resonance and makes it easy to dial in the perfect feel in minutes. As a 900 Series model, this guitar is dressed to impress with a package of wood and shell details including Belle Fleur inlays in paua and mother-of-pearl, a paua rosette, black\/paua\/black edge trim, and koa fretboard and peghead purfling. Gotoh 510 tuners in antique gold, a Kona Edgeburst for the back and sides, and a full-body gloss finish complete the appointment suite.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"eng\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOverview\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"eng\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSolid spruce top yields clear, bold projection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIndian rosewood back and sides add blooming overtones\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScalloped V-Class bracing dials up more volume, sustain and warmth\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBeveled armrest and cutaway for exceptional playing comfort\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes Claria electronics and deluxe hardshell case\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFeatures\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGrand Auditorium\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTaylor's flagship shape offers comfort and cross-genre utility, with a clear, balanced tone suited for both fingerstyle and strumming.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLutz Spruce\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis natural hybrid of Sitka and White spruce also shares characteristics with Adirondack spruce, responding with power, richness and volume.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIndian Rosewood\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe tonewood superstar.
