Taylor Guitars master guitar designer Andy Powers describes his voicing approach with the big-bodied rosewood/spruce 12-string Grand Orchestra 858e. The goal was to create a massively powerful 12-string guitar that was also touch-sensitive, giving it tremendous dynamic range and a rich sonority. Together with the other tone-enhancing attributes of Taylor’s 800 Series —protein glues, thin finish, optimized wood thicknesses and more — players can expect a 12-string with a huge and expressive voice.
