Description
Offering the tonal depth of a full-sized guitar, but from parlor-style guitar proportions, Taylor’s GT 811 (Grand Theater) models sport refined aesthetics, plus a slinkier string-feel and easier-to-fret action on the higher frets. Boasting ample projection provided by Taylor’s C-Class bracing system, GT 800 series guitars pair top-tier craftsmanship with time-honored tonewoods to produce a bold, contemporary voice.
800 Series
Taylor’s 800 series starts with a time-honored pairing of all-star tonewoods combined with top-tier craftsmanship to boast refined aesthetic touches, plus transformative design features that dial up the volume and sustain. The Indian rosewood back and sides married with a Sitka spruce top give 800 series instruments ample sonic versatility, with a rich harmonic texture and ringing overtones, resulting in unmatched clarity and balance to produce a distinctively bold, contemporary acoustic guitar voice.
Grand Theater
Sporting the curves of the Grand Orchestra (Taylor’s “Jumbo” body style) scaled into uniquely compact proportions—including a shorter, 24 1/8-inch scale lenth for a slinky and responsive handfeel—Taylor’s Grand Theater (GT) body shape employs C-Class bracing to pack the tonal depth of a full-size guitar into a form that’s easy to play. With dimensions that fall between the travel-friendly GS Mini and Grand Concert body shapes, the GT represents Taylor’s reimagination of the parlor-style guitar for the present day.
