GC8
Our small-body GC guitars are intimate and curvy yet with volume that belies their size. The slotted peghead and short-scale (24 7/8-inch) neck deliver a more “woody” tone and an unbelievably easy feel on the fretboard. The rosewood/spruce GC8 delivers plenty of low-end character without getting too boomy.
This model has been discontinued.
Legacy Model
The GC8 is not currently offered as a standard production model. There may be an authorized Taylor dealer with this instrument in stock.
