Taylor Guitars GS-Rosewood/Spruce

Well, It's purely acoustic. So "features" depends on your point of view, and what you are looking for. If you don't already know what the GS series has to offer, my explanations will not do you justice. I find this to be the finest instrument I have ever held in my hands. My GS has the Indian Rosewood back and sides, with a Sitka Spruce top, Ebony fingerboard, Ebony saddle, Tusq nut and bridge. This instrument is not flashy. Only because Taylor wanted us to concentrate on the amazing sound, rather than overkill on looks or features.

The sound is like no other acoustic I have ever played, or heard anyone else play. It fills the niche for "that sound" we have all been searching for. It's tone changes depending on your style of play. Amazing response. You want thumping bass? ok.. you want intricate mids? no problem..you want clear, loud, defined highs? It'll handle that too. Or, any combination in between.

Factory set up was great. I like a little lower action on an acoustic than most, but with only minor adjustments, I made it my own. The neck pocket and joinery are perfect, the neck plays clean, and has no sharp points. The craftsmanship on this guitar is what you would expect from Taylor, and then some. I take off one point for having to clean up the truss rod cover.

It's a Taylor, very sensitive to humidity changes. As long as you take care of this guitar properly, it will last a lifetime.

Lifetime warranty. Great support.

I have been playing for 15 years now, I own a Fender American Deluxe Strat, and an American Ash Tele. I mostly play Blues, Jazz and Gospel through my Fender Twin Reverb with a JBL 15" clean, sometimes with a tubescreamer. I'm not big on effects to hide mistakes or sloppiness in technique. This guitar fits my style perfectly. If it were stolen, I would hold a memorial for it, and then buy another. This is the last guitar I will ever need. I may buy others in the future, but it will not be out of need.
