New Grand Auditorium Guitars from Taylor!

Taylor's Grand Auditorium combines the width and depth of a Dreadnought with a narrower waist. Its sleek design yields a strong treble zing across the tonal spectrum and sharpens the definition of individual notes. The Grand Auditorium is a strong fingerpicking guitar that also adapts well to medium strumming. With the natural sparkle produced by the Grand Auditorium body style combined with select tonewoods, these newest Taylors have a sound all their own. The GA5 is constructed with mahogany back and sides and a cedar to add some warmth to the bright tone.

Taylor GA5 Features:
  • Mahogany Back and Sides
  • Cedar Top
  • Gloss Finish
  • 1 3/4" Nut Width
  • 25 1/2" Scale Length
  • Ivoroid Binding
  • Abalone Rosette
  • Abalone Dot Inlays
  • Gold Hardware
  • Case Included

Fine, ffine guitar!

by Geoff from Southeast
August 27, 2010
Music Background: Worship music, blues, fingerstyle
I have auditioned many high-end guitars (Collings, Santa Cruz, etc.) and owned a few Taylor guitars (410, 414ce -ovankol, 414ce LTD rosewood. I currently own a Martin OM-21 and I now own a GA5 which i... read more [+]s really in a different league from the other Taylors. The bass is more pronounced which is not typical of Taylor's and I really like it. The guitar sounds like a grand piano, excellent for both fingerstyle and strumming. A very open, delicate but commanding sound. My wife, who is no guitar player actually made comments about the sound and how beautiful it was. I am very, very happy with this guitar. A keeper for life. close [-]

Our Customers Say...

When it came time to start from scratch with the studio, I had a lot of questions. The Sales Engineers I've worked with are really friendly and patient, and the guidance they provided was invaluable; they basically helped build the studio.
