This Taylor Grand Auditorium acoustic-electric guitar offers the warm, balanced tone of all-koa construction paired with their revolutionary V-Class bracing and ES2 electronics. Taylor's original Grand Auditorium body style provides a versatile playing experience for pickers and strummers alike. The koa design is brought to life by V-Class bracing, Taylor's groundbreaking architecture that boosts volume, sustain and intonation. The ES2 pickup system features three uniquely positioned sensors for a dynamic range of plugged-in tones. Together with Taylor's custom-designed preamp, the ES2 faithfully amplifies the Koa Series GA's acoustic voice.

V-Class Bracing Unlocks the Koa GA's Potential

Taylor's V-Class bracing marks an important evolution in acoustic guitar design. It optimizes the Koa Series GA's tone and response in three key ways: boosting volume, increasing sustain and improving intonation. V-Class bracing creates notes that are purer, louder and more consistent, with the whole fretboard brought into greater harmony. The result is an inspiring playing experience where harmonics ring truer, notes bloom with more projection and chords sound agreeably balanced.

ES2 Electronics Provide Dynamic Amplified Performance

The ES2 pickup system is the heart of the Koa Series GA's amplified voice. Its patented behind-the-saddle pickup features three individually calibrated sensors to capture the guitar's acoustic nuance. Because the pickup sits behind the saddle, the saddle comes into full contact with the bridge, conveying a vivid acoustic tone whether unplugged or amplified. The ES2's preamp includes intuitive controls for volume, treble and bass, providing a range of amplified tones for stage and studio.

Chambered Koa Body Produces a Balanced Acoustic Tone

This acoustic-electric guitar boasts an all-koa body, including top, back and sides, yields a balanced acoustic tone with clear trebles, a lively midrange attack and low end warmth that develops over time. The guitar's fully-chambered construction enhances resonance while reducing weight, ideal for performance and long practice sessions.
