This guitar is in great shape with no cracks or repairs. Professional setup and Fishman Rare Earth Soundhole Pickup with Volume Control installed. Very light honest wear but nothing serious at all. It sounds and plays like a Jumbo Rosewood Taylor should. The sound is bold, crisp, resonant, lush, and loud. It has overtones for days! This is what I found from Taylor's website:
The Taylor GS8 Rosewood/Spruce Grand Symphony Acoustic Guitar has two tonewoods that represent a classic comb...ination of nearly universal appeal. With a Sitka spruce top, Taylor adds a touch of crispness to the Indian rosewood' big, bold tone. Indian rosewood seems as if it was created to be on a guitar. The clarity, balance, sustain, excellent bass response, and wonderful coloration and figure are without equal. Paired with Sitka spruce, it is an unstoppable combination.Grand Symphony (GS)
Though you might see similarities to a Grand Auditorium, the GS is unique in both sound and shape. Significant changes in its geometry yield a deeper, more piano-like bass. A wider lower bout and higher, wider waist return ample volume and low-end sustain, in symphony with fuller mids and balanced highs.Gloss Top, Back & Sides
The finish used to create this guitar's lustrous gloss top, back, and sides was developed at Taylor for maximum durability and resistance to cold-checking. This ultra violet-cured finish is also more environmentally friendly than traditional lacquer finishes.Introduced in 2006, the GS is an original design from top to bottom ” and the first new Taylor shape in over a decade. It was a hit right out of the gate. Expect acoustic power with every note, with deep, piano-like bass, rich mids and clear, balanced highs ” and plenty of volume. It' a whole new flavor of Taylor tone.FEATURESShape: Grand SymphonyBack/Side Wood: Indian RosewoodTop Wood: Sitka SpruceNeck/Heel: Tropical MahoganyElectronics: NoneBracing: CV Bracing with Relief RoutBinding: IvoroidFretboard Wood: EbonyFretboard Inlay: 4mm Abalone DotsHeadstock Overlay: Indian RosewoodBridge Inlay: NoneBridge Pins: Ebony with Abalone DotsNut & Saddle: TusqTuners: Taylor GoldTruss Rod Cover: Indian RosewoodBack/Side Finish: GlossTop Finish: GlossNeck Finish: SatinCutaway: NonePickguard: NoneCase: Taylor Deluxe Hardshell Brown
