Grand Auditorium

Body Length: 20” / Body Width: 16” / Body Depth: 4 5/8”

Taylor’s signature shape embodies the ultimate all-purpose acoustic.

Our most popular and versatile body shape, the mid-size Grand
Auditorium arrived in 1994 bearing refined proportions that fell between
a Dreadnought and Grand Concert. While the bigger Dreadnought was
traditionally considered a flatpicker’s guitar and the smaller Grand
Concert catered to fingerstylists, the GA was designed to deliver on
both fronts.

The shape produced an original acoustic voice that
was big enough to handle medium-strength picking and strumming, yet with
impressive balance across the tonal spectrum, especially in the
midrange, producing clear, well-defined notes that suited both strumming
and fingerstyle playing. The GA’s overall presence tracks well with
other instruments both in a studio mix and on stage, and
singer-songwriters have embraced its utility both for composing and
traveling with one guitar.

Many people want a single guitar that
can cover a variety of styles, which is why the GA continues to be our
bestselling shape. If you want a great all-purpose guitar, the
multi-dimensional GA won’t let you down.
