Overview

Taylor pairs a torrefied Sitka spruce top with sapele back and sides on this compact Grand Concert acoustic-electric, finished with a deep Venetian cutaway. A maple neck and ebony fingerboard give access across the whole range.

A petite body still produces a powerful unplugged punch, and the electronics prepare it for the stage. Flatpickers and fingerstyle players are both named as the audience. The limitation is that the listing says nothing about a case or gig bag.

Who it's for

Players who like a smaller, comfortable body and want full access to the fingerboard onstage. Anyone who needs a big dreadnought voice, or a case in the box, should look at other bodies.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Deep Venetian cutaway for full range access
  • Torrefied top feels broken-in
  • Compact, comfortable body
  • Sapele back and sides
Cons
  • Case or gig bag not listed
  • Compact body has less bass weight

Performance notes

Torrefaction gives the Sitka spruce top the response of an instrument that has already been played in. The petite Grand Concert body delivers its punch through focus rather than size. Electronics let it be amplified for stage use.
