In my road show thread I mentioned they offhandedly said something about the Grand Symphony that sparked my interest, and I was wondering if folks around here had more info.
When he was talking about the Grand Symphony he said that Bob Taylor loves to listen to feedback from guitar players and some Nashville guitar players were telling Bob that they loved the Grand Auditorium but it just doesn't go as deep as they'd like. So Bob went to work inventing the Grand Symphony. Very cool.
But I was looking back through the W&S archives (and google searching) and apparently they don't have any that I can find online that talk about how the GS shape came to be. Not sure if there is a write up they had about it, or even an introduction to the GS shape, but if you guys had any further info I'd love to hear/see it.
