Overview
A beginning or seasoned player looking for a classic tonewood twist gets a Grand Auditorium acoustic-electric with a Sitka spruce top and sapele back and sides. A comfortable maple neck and onboard electronics round out the build.
Balanced warmth and clarity from the tonewood pairing, plus plug-in capability and a bag in the box, are the pitch. The Grand Auditorium shape retains dreadnought width and depth but narrows the waist for a sleeker look.
Who it's for
Players moving between living room and stage who want a Grand Auditorium shape with balanced response. Travelers needing a compact guitar, or buyers who prefer a darker tone, should look at other Taylor models.
Pros and cons
- Grand Auditorium shape

Performance notes
That wood pairing gives a balance of warmth, clarity and stability across the frequency range, and the narrower waist adds high-end response. Onboard electronics translate the acoustic tone when plugged in. Coated light strings come fitted, easing fretting and slowing tone loss.
