Taylor Guitars One Guitar That Plays It All: The Grand Auditorium

Grand Auditorium: Comfort, Clarity and Versatility

Since its 1994 debut, Bob Taylor’s signature Grand Auditorium (GA) has captivated legions of players and continues to be our most popular guitar body shape.

With proportions that fall between a Grand Concert and a Dreadnought, the comfortably sized Grand Auditorium sits in an acoustic sweet spot—it delivers the projection that strummers desire and the nuanced articulation that fingerstylists crave.

Thanks to its accommodating curves and musical versatility, our cutaway GA makes the ultimate all-purpose guitar and remains one of the most copied acoustic shapes in the world.
