This acoustic/electric Grand Auditorium features a layered walnut back and sides combined with a solid Sitka spruce top, creating a versatile acoustic with excellent responsiveness to strumming, fingerpicking, and flatpicking. With our patented Taylor neck, you can expect smooth and accurate playability for the life of the guitar. The slightly narrower 1-11/16-inch nut width also makes it easier to form barre chords. The Venetian cutaway provides increased access to the upper frets, and the Expression System 2 pickup delivers a natural amplified sound that showcases your playing. The clean design includes Italian acrylic dot fretboard inlays, a 3-ring rosette, and black binding and pickguard that complement the genuine ebony fretboard and bridge. A lightweight protective gig bag is included for easy transportation.
