Taylor Guitars - GTE URBAN ASH

Description

***HAIRLINE LACQUER CRACK ON FACE OF GUITAR. COMES WITH A FULL WARRANTY!

Taylor's newest body style, the Grand Theater (GT), introduces a new category of acoustic guitar in size, feel and sound. Made in Taylor's California factory, the GT's uniquely modern proportions sit between the size of Taylor's compact GS Mini and its Grand Concert, the smallest of Taylor's full-size body shapes. The result is a guitar that's incredibly fun and easy to play, with a big sonic personality worthy of any pro player's toolbox.

The GT borrows the basic body curves of the Grand Orchestra (Taylor's largest body style), but they're scaled down. The width at the lower bout (15 inches) is nearly the same as the Taylor Grand Concert, but the GT's body length is shorter. Solid-wood construction and ultra-thin finish optimize the tonal response.

The Taylor GT is voiced with new C-Class™ bracing architecture. The "C" refers to the cantilevered, asymmetrical design, which combines stiffness and flexibility in a way that helps accentuate the lower frequencies to produce a surprisingly warm bass response for its compact dimensions. This bracing borrows some of the functional benefits of Taylor's V-Class™ bracing, including greater stability, yielding impressive volume, sustain and intonation that sonically helps the guitar punch above its weight.

Together with C-Class™ bracing and the compact dimensions of the body and neck, the spruce top is responsive to a light touch yet capable of impressive tonal output, offering players a dynamic and expressive musical palette to explore.
