Shown: Next Generation 814ce
An original Bob Taylor design introduced in 1994, the Grand Auditorium remains our most popular body shape thanks to its mid-size proportions, balanced voice and exceptional versatility. Its tapered waist and refined dimensions generate clear, well-defined notes that respond well to fingerstyle play, flatpicking and strumming, a character that fits nicely with other instruments while more than holding its own as a solo instrument.
Who is this for?
Almost everybody. Its versatility has made the Grand Auditorium our most popular shape, popular among bold strummers and soft fingerpickers alike. It also performs beautifully in both live performance and recording applications as well as in songwriting, and it’s accommodating enough to be comfortable even for first-time players.
