Taylor Gt Urban Ash Spruce

Description

TAYLOR GT URBAN ASH SPRUCE

Designed from the ground up for comfort, playability, and rich sound, the GT Urban Ash features a brand-new compact body shape with a big, resonant acoustic voice. The GT (Grand Theater) shares the basic footprint of the jumbo-sized Grand Orchestra shape, but its proportions have been scaled down (including a shallower body depth), creating a fun and inviting feel in an instrument you can take virtually anywhere. The GT also features a uniquely proportioned neck with a 24 ⅛" scale length, a bit longer than the GS Mini and a bit shorter than the Grand Concert. The neck provides a slinky fretting feel thanks to the reduced string tension. It all comes together in the GT Urban Ash, built with solid back and sides of the responsibly sourced wood that gives the guitar its name. A solid spruce top helps load the GT's tonal response with a projection that belies its small frame, powered by the new asymmetrical C-Class bracing design, which translates the tone-enhancing properties of V-Class bracing into a sonic engine appropriate for this new body shape. Expect a warm, punchy midrange accented by crisp highs, with an impressive bass response that owes its surprising power to the new bracing pattern. A beautiful, responsibly sourced smoked eucalyptus fretboard provides the feel of a rosewood fretboard with the tonal character of ebony, while a subtle matte finish preserves the guitar's resonance. A cleanly appointed instrument includes Italian acrylic Pinnacle inlays, a three-ring koa rosette, and a dark Urban Sienna stain on the ash back and sides.
