Taylor Custom GP-e Sassafras LTD Grand Pacific Electro Acoustic Overview
This beautiful Taylor Custom GP-e Sassafras Limited Grand Pacific electro acoustic guitar utilises an unusual combination of Adirondack spruce top and solid blackheart sassafras back and sides for a stunning visual result accented with cocobolo binding, mahogany neck, and antique gold Gotoh tuners to highlight the custom West African peghead veneer.
Meet the Grand Pacific Dreadnought
Taylor’s versatile new round-shoulder dreadnought guitar brings a whole new sonic personality to the dreadnought category and the Taylor line. With its warm, seasoned sound and clear low-end power, it’s a Taylor like you’ve never heard before.
Until now, Taylor has been known for a modern take on acoustic tone—a vibrant sound with precise and well-defined individual notes. But we like other acoustic flavors too. Drawing inspiration from traditional acoustic music, master guitar designer Andy Powers leveraged the tone-shaping control of our 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.
Overview by GAK
Taylor Custom GP-e Sassafras LTD Grand Pacific Electro Acoustic has the unusual combination of an Adirondack spruce top, which produces more dynamic range than Sitka, and solid blackheart sassafras back and sides, which has the note distinction and focus of maple, and top-end overtones of rosewood. It also gives a natural, visually striking aesthetic to the guitar. Other features include cocobolo binding, a mahogany neck, and antique hold Gotoh tuners, which highlight the custom West African peghead veneer.
