Meet the compact, all-solid-wood Taylor GT
Watch as guitarist and music director Nicholas Veinoglou introduces the Taylor GT Urban Ash and explores its unique features
Meet the Taylor GT, a new acoustic body shape designed from the ground up to provide an accessible, exciting playing experience for guitarists of all styles.
Crafted with a reduced scale length of 24-1/8", the compact GT offers a fun, relaxed feel that will appeal to everyone from longtime players to new learners strumming their first chords.
It's slightly larger than Taylor's GS Mini but smaller than the full-size Grand Concert, sitting in the sweet spot where playing comfort and rich tone intersect.
The GT's all-solid-wood construction helps it generate surprising projection and power for its size, with a pairing of a spruce top with back and sides made from responsibly sourced Urban Ash that serves up a punchy midrange response.
For the interior structure, Taylor has adapted their tone-enhancing V-Class bracing to the GT's smaller footprint, resulting in a new architecture called C-Class bracing that specifically boosts the bass range.
All together, the GT's response features warmth and clarity in equal measure, with enough volume and sustain to make it a perfect musical companion for everything from home or studio recording to live performances to practice sessions at home.
