While the bigger Dreadnought was traditionally considered a flatpicker’s guitar and the smaller Grand Concert catered to fingerstylists, the GA was designed to deliver on both fronts. The shape produced an original acoustic voice that was big enough to handle medium-strength picking and strumming, yet with impressive balance across the tonal spectrum, especially in the midrange, producing clear, well-defined notes that suited both strumming and fingerstyle playing. The GA’s overall presence tracks well with other instruments both in a studio mix and on stage, and singer-songwriters have embraced its utility both for composing and traveling with one guitar. Many people want a single guitar that can cover a variety of styles, which is why the GA continues to be Taylor's bestselling shape. If you want a great all-purpose guitar, the multi-dimensional GA won’t let you down.\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eGrand Auditorium Body Specifications:\u003c\/b\u003e Body Length: 20\" \/ Body Width: 16\" \/ Body Depth: 4 5\/8\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"container\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"row\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col-sm-4\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0782\/2249\/files\/taylor-indian-rosewood-feature_7d35ddde-50d9-44a3-a553-e0f67a28de83.jpg?v=1733177364\" alt=\"Indian Rosewood Body Wood\" style=\"float: none;\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col-sm-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eIndian Rosewood Body Wood:\u003c\/b\u003e Indian rosewood’s sweeping frequency range at both ends of the tonal spectrum has made it one of the most popular and musically rich tonewoods. Its deep lows can assert a throaty growl, while bright, sparkling treble notes ring out with bell-like, high-fidelity clarity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eOrigin\u003c\/b\u003e: India\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSound:\u003c\/b\u003e One of the most popular and traditional guitar woods of all time, rosewood takes the basic sonic thumbprint of mahogany (which has a strong midrange) and expands it in both directions. Rosewood sounds deeper in the low end and brighter on the top end (one might describe the treble notes as zesty, sparkly or sizzly, with more articulation). If you look at its frequency range visually, rosewood would appear to be more scooped in the middle, yielding less midrange bloom than mahogany. Like mahogany, rosewood’s vintage heritage has helped firmly establish its acoustic legacy. It’s a great sound in part because Taylor knows that sound. In some music circles in which preserving the traditional sound helps bring a sense of authenticity to the music — certain strains of Americana, for example — rosewood has an iconic status. Also like mahogany, rosewood is a versatile tonewood, which has contributed to its popularity. One can fingerpick it, strum it and flatpick it. It’s very consistent, so players can usually rely on it to deliver.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eGoes Well With\u003c\/b\u003e: Most applications. If you like a guitar with fuller low end and brighter treble (bluegrassers, for instance), rosewood will do the trick. Its high-end sizzle and clear articulation will benefit players with “dark hands”.

Rosewood sounds deeper in the low end and brighter on the top end (one might describe the treble notes as zesty, sparkly or sizzly, with more articulation). If you look at its frequency range visually, rosewood would appear to be more scooped in the middle, yielding less midrange bloom than mahogany. Like mahogany, rosewood’s vintage heritage has helped firmly establish its acoustic legacy. It’s a great sound in part because Taylor knows that sound. In some music circles in which preserving the traditional sound helps bring a sense of authenticity to the music — certain strains of Americana, for example — rosewood has an iconic status. Also like mahogany, rosewood is a versatile tonewood, which has contributed to its popularity. One can fingerpick it, strum it and flatpick it. It’s very consistent, so players can usually rely on it to deliver.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eGoes Well With\u003c\/b\u003e: Most applications. If you like a guitar with fuller low end and brighter treble (bluegrassers, for instance), rosewood will do the trick.

Its deep lows can assert a throaty growl, while bright, sparkling treble notes ring out with bell-like, high-fidelity clarity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eOrigin\u003c\/b\u003e: India\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSound:\u003c\/b\u003e One of the most popular and traditional guitar woods of all time, rosewood takes the basic sonic thumbprint of mahogany (which has a strong midrange) and expands it in both directions. Rosewood sounds deeper in the low end and brighter on the top end (one might describe the treble notes as zesty, sparkly or sizzly, with more articulation). If you look at its frequency range visually, rosewood would appear to be more scooped in the middle, yielding less midrange bloom than mahogany. Like mahogany, rosewood’s vintage heritage has helped firmly establish its acoustic legacy. It’s a great sound in part because Taylor knows that sound. In some music circles in which preserving the traditional sound helps bring a sense of authenticity to the music — certain strains of Americana, for example — rosewood has an iconic status. Also like mahogany, rosewood is a versatile tonewood, which has contributed to its popularity. One can fingerpick it, strum it and flatpick it. It’s very consistent, so players can usually rely on it to deliver.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eGoes Well With\u003c\/b\u003e: Most applications.

While the bigger Dreadnought was traditionally considered a flatpicker’s guitar and the smaller Grand Concert catered to fingerstylists, the GA was designed to deliver on both fronts. The shape produced an original acoustic voice that was big enough to handle medium-strength picking and strumming, yet with impressive balance across the tonal spectrum, especially in the midrange, producing clear, well-defined notes that suited both strumming and fingerstyle playing. The GA’s overall presence tracks well with other instruments both in a studio mix and on stage, and singer-songwriters have embraced its utility both for composing and traveling with one guitar. Many people want a single guitar that can cover a variety of styles, which is why the GA continues to be Taylor's bestselling shape.

While the bigger Dreadnought was traditionally considered a flatpicker’s guitar and the smaller Grand Concert catered to fingerstylists, the GA was designed to deliver on both fronts. The shape produced an original acoustic voice that was big enough to handle medium-strength picking and strumming, yet with impressive balance across the tonal spectrum, especially in the midrange, producing clear, well-defined notes that suited both strumming and fingerstyle playing. The GA’s overall presence tracks well with other instruments both in a studio mix and on stage, and singer-songwriters have embraced its utility both for composing and traveling with one guitar. Many people want a single guitar that can cover a variety of styles, which is why the GA continues to be Taylor's bestselling shape.

While the bigger Dreadnought was traditionally considered a flatpicker’s guitar and the smaller Grand Concert catered to fingerstylists, the GA was designed to deliver on both fronts. The shape produced an original acoustic voice that was big enough to handle medium-strength picking and strumming, yet with impressive balance across the tonal spectrum, especially in the midrange, producing clear, well-defined notes that suited both strumming and fingerstyle playing. The GA’s overall presence tracks well with other instruments both in a studio mix and on stage, and singer-songwriters have embraced its utility both for composing and traveling with one guitar. Many people want a single guitar that can cover a variety of styles, which is why the GA continues to be Taylor's bestselling shape.

Its deep lows can assert a throaty growl, while bright, sparkling treble notes ring out with bell-like, high-fidelity clarity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eOrigin\u003c\/b\u003e: India\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSound:\u003c\/b\u003e One of the most popular and traditional guitar woods of all time, rosewood takes the basic sonic thumbprint of mahogany (which has a strong midrange) and expands it in both directions. Rosewood sounds deeper in the low end and brighter on the top end (one might describe the treble notes as zesty, sparkly or sizzly, with more articulation). If you look at its frequency range visually, rosewood would appear to be more scooped in the middle, yielding less midrange bloom than mahogany. Like mahogany, rosewood’s vintage heritage has helped firmly establish its acoustic legacy. It’s a great sound in part because Taylor knows that sound. In some music circles in which preserving the traditional sound helps bring a sense of authenticity to the music — certain strains of Americana, for example — rosewood has an iconic status. Also like mahogany, rosewood is a versatile tonewood, which has contributed to its popularity. One can fingerpick it, strum it and flatpick it. It’s very consistent, so players can usually rely on it to deliver.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eGoes Well With\u003c\/b\u003e: Most applications. If you like a guitar with fuller low end and brighter treble (bluegrassers, for instance), rosewood will do the trick.

It also creates a more orderly response from the soundboard. Up and down the fretboard, notes are full, true and consistent, with more harmonic agreement. It represents an entirely new design platform that can be adapted to different body styles in different ways to infuse each with a unique sonic personality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003ch2\u003eSPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"container\"\u003e\n  \u003cdiv class=\"row\"\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"col-sm\"\u003e\n      \u003ch3\u003eGeneral\u003c\/h3\u003e\n      \u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNumber of Strings: 12 String\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOrientation: Right Handed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody Shape: Grand Auditorium\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBracing System: V-Class Bracing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCutaway: Venetian Cutaway\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColor: Natural\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eElectronics: Claria™ Pickup System\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCase\/Bag: Taylor Deluxe Hardshell Brown\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBody\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTop Wood: Sitka Spruce\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBack\/Side Wood: Indian Rosewood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRosette: White (.047\") Single Ring\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBack Configuration: 2-piece No Wedge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody Binding: Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eArmrest: None\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTop Finish: Gloss\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBack\/Side Finish: Gloss\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eNeck\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck Wood: Neo-Tropical Mahogany\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFretboard Wood: West African Crelicam Ebony\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck Profile: Standard Carve\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFretboard Inlay: Faux Pearl Weathervane\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFretboard Binding: Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck Finish: Satin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"col-sm\"\u003e\n      \u003ch3\u003ePeghead\u003c\/h3\u003e\n      \u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNut Width: 1-7\/8\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePeghead Veneer Wood: West African Crelicam Ebony\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScale Length: 25-1\/2\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePeghead Inlay: Faux Pearl Weathervane\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePeghead Type: Paddle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePeghead Binding: None\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePeghead Finish: Satin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eOther\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBridge: West African Crelicam Ebony\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNut \u0026amp; Saddle: Black Tusq Nut, White Micarta Saddle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBridge Pins: West African Crelicam Ebony\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStrings: D'Addario XS Coated Phosphor Bronze Light (.010 - .047)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePickguard: Firestripe\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTuners: Taylor Nickel with Nickel Buttons\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStrap Pin: Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEnd Pin: Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Taylor","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47619442671783,"sku":"A408102118402090000","price":2799.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0782\/2249\/files\/1_dd120625-668c-48fa-a885-0c306d2ee2dc.jpg?v=1767921336"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.bananas.com\/collections\/taylor-next-generation-series.oembed","provider":"Bananas At Large Inc.® Musical Instruments \u0026 Pro Audio","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
