Pros

Versatile Grand Auditorium shape for all playing styles
Taylor ES2 pickup system sounds natural amplified
Consistent quality with Taylor factory setup

Cons

Layered back and sides limit resonance vs. all-solid
Bright tone may not suit all players

Don't buy this if…

The layered rosewood back and sides will not develop tonal complexity over time the way all-solid wood guitars do.
