Solid Spruce top, Solid Walnut back & sides

Solid Spruce top, Solid Walnut back & sides

With its compact body shape and punchy sound, the GTe Blacktop adds a fresh visual flavor to our line of GT guitars along with a new sonic profile thanks to its walnut back and sides. Along with a spruce top, this model's all-solid tonewoods yields a midrange-focused response similar to mahogany but with a bit more overtone presence. Walnut's initially dry character opens up as the guitar is played, and you'll notice more bloom and power in the low end with time. The C-Class bracing inside dials up even more bass resonance and warmth.

Taylor GT

Compact yet gifted with a bold voice, the GT’s scaled-down frame offers surprising tonal power and texture.

Walnut

Walnut’s crisp highs are balanced by a deep, woody low end that emerges as the guitar is played in.

Sitka Spruce

The soundboard choice for most guitars, Sitka spruce produces a broad dynamic range and accommodates a versatile range of playing styles.

Expression System® 2

The Expression System® 2 captures more of a guitar’s dynamic properties using a breakthrough behind-the-saddle design.
