The guitar starts with all solid woods consisting of beautiful walnut for the back and sides, and Western red cedar for the top. The walnut evokes a nice bass response with a touch of compression while the cedar top gives the player a warmer response that responds well to fingerstyle and light to moderate strumming. The Grand Auditorium body shape is the most versatile body shape in the line up for Taylor. Whether you're a fingerstyle player or strummer, the Grand Auditorium body shape covers the most ground.

This model brings three major, game changing innovations.
