Description
Body Shape
A Taylor original, the Grand Auditorium helped establish the Taylor acoustic sound.
The popular body style makes for a versatile guitar that yields ample volume in
response to light fingerpicking, and reacts to medium strumming and flatpicking
with a clear, balanced sound across the tonal spectrum. If you want a great all-purpose guitar, the GA is an excellent choice.
Tone Woods
A guitar’s top is the primary filter and distributor of vibrating string energy
through the guitar, which means it has a huge impact on its sound. Sitka spruce is
the most prevalent guitar top wood of the modern era. It blends stiffness and
elasticity in just the right proportions which translates into broad dynamic range with crisp articulation.
Layered koa back and sides create a sturdy and complementary platform for the
vibrating string energy sent by the guitar’s top. Layered wood is less susceptible
to changes in temperature and humidity, making it an excellent choice for players
who travel with their instruments or simply require more durability.
Electronics
Taylor’s ES2 is a revolutionary pickup design that delivers the latest in Taylor’s
ongoing innovation in acoustic guitar amplification. The heart of the Expression
System 2 is Taylor’s patented behind-the-saddle pickup, which features three
uniquely positioned and individually calibrated pickup sensors. Because the
pickup doesn’t sit under the saddle, the bottom of the saddle comes in full
contact with the bridge, allowing all the nuance of the guitar’s tone to come
through clearly whether playing acoustically or plugged-in. The location of
the sensors enables a more dynamic range of acoustic sound to be captured than ever before while playing plugged-in.
