Taylor Next Generation Series

The Next Generation Grand Auditoriums Have Arrived

A thoughtful evolution of Taylor’s flagship body style. New bracing, the Action Control Neck, and the all-new Claria™ pickup system set a new benchmark for tone, playability, and performance.

Scalloped V-Class Bracing

This latest evolution of Taylor's award-winning V-Class voicing architecture enhances the top movement and responsiveness, yielding more warmth, power and open-string richness—all while preserving the ear-pleasing pitch accuracy that V-Class is known for.

Action Control Neck

This player-friendly innovation contributes to a more resonant sound and easier-than-ever string height adjustability. A long-tenon neck joint improves tonal transfer with the body for added warmth and sustain, while the shimless action control feature allows quick, precise string-height adjustments with a simple turn of a bolt through the soundhole.

Claria™ Pickup System

Developed with input from performing artists and live sound engineers, Claria™ pairs a reimagined undersaddle piezo pickup with a new proprietary preamp to deliver easy, reliable amplified tone in any setting. Designed for versatility, its clear, natural voice can be shaped from lo-fi warmth to contemporary detail using the soundhole-mounted Volume, Mid-Contour and Tone controls.
