Acoustic Guitar Body Shapes
Taylor offers five full-size guitar body shapes. Each body’s unique dimensions help define its fundamental voice to give it a distinctive tonal personality. Typically, a smaller body will yield a more controlled voice with more upper-end chime, while a bigger body will produce a louder voice with more low-end depth. Most body styles are available either with or without a cutaway.
GT Acoustic Guitar Body
Taylor’s most compact body shape serves up bold tone in a package that’s easy to transport and comfortable to play.
Popular Models: GTe Urban Ash, GT 811e, GT K21e
Grand Concert Guitar Body
Larger than the reduced-scale GT but smaller than the Grand Auditorium, the Grand Concert is Taylor’s most intimate full-scale guitar body shape, perfect for fingerstyle and strumming alike.

Grand Auditorium Guitar Body
