A recently new and innovative design from Taylor, the GTe Urban Ash (Grand Theater) features a slightly scaled-down body that echoes the jumbo curves of the Grand Orchestra shape, larger than a GS-Mini but more compact and comfortable than a full size guitar.

The innovation extends to the GT's interior architecture, built on a new asymmetrical bracing design called C-Class bracing. This new sonic structure brings the tonal benefits of V-Class bracing to the smaller GT body shape, producing more volume and longer sustain while also bolstering the GT's bass response to surprising levels of low-end power from a smaller guitar. This model takes its name from the solid Urban Ash that composes its back and sides, which serve up a rich, shimmering midrange accented by pristine highs.

Visually, the GT is appointed with modest details such as a three-ring koa rosette and Pinnacle inlays in Italian acrylic, preserving its clean aesthetic. A super-thin, water-based matte finish, paired with an Urban Sienna stain for the back and sides, reflects a dusky, alluring visual character, preserving the wood's visual texture and allowing the player to feel the grain through the finish.
