Here for sale we have a Taylor GS6 Grand Symphony Acoustic Guitar in Natural Gloss finish. Made in the USA in 2012, this guitar consists of a Solid Sitka Spruce top, Solid Flame Maple sides, a 3-piece Solid Flame Maple back, a Maple neck, and a 20-fret Ebony fingerboard. Other appointments include Gold Taylor tuners, an Ebony bridge, X-Bracing, and Abalone dot inlays.
 
The Maple neck plays beautifully, with Taylor's neck profile providing a smooth and responsive playing experience across the register. The profile could perhaps be described as a fairly slim 'C' shape, which delivers plenty of character whilst remaining thin enough for fast articulate playing. The gloss finish to the rear assists with navigation of the 25.5" scale, whilst the fairly wide nut width at 1.75" ensures ample string spacing for accurate fretting. The Grand Symphony body shape is slightly different for Taylor, and whilst certainly large, remains comfortable and easily manageable in the arms. 
 
The acoustic voice of the Taylor GS6 is quite surprising for a guitar so closely related to the jumbo. Of course, the large body delivers plenty of volume and a strong bass response. This is tempered however by the Maple back and sides. Renowned for its brightness, Maple works very well in this context because it balances so well with the prominent bass associated with large-body acoustics. There is also plenty of dynamic range on offer from the Sitka Spruce top, which projects fantastically whilst feeling sensitive to the player's touch.
