Taylor 811e Grand Theater Sitka Rosewood Acoustic Guitar

Taylor 811e Grand Theater Sitka Rosewood Acoustic Guitar - Grand Theater gets grander!

New for 2021, Taylor's GT 811e features solid Indian rosewood back and sides, as well as a solid Sitka spruce top and a Crelicam ebony fretboard, with a gloss finish and Taylor's Expression System 2 pickup system. With its shorter body and scale length, the GT's proportions are smaller than the Grand Concert but larger than the GS Mini, finding a sweet spot where comfort meets rich, solid-wood tone. The superstar tonewood pairing of Indian rosewood back and sides with a Sitka spruce top delivers all the clarity and balance you'd expect from a full-size rosewood guitar, while its smaller footprint and shorter scale (24-⅛”) provide a slinkier feel that makes complex chords or arpeggio formations easier to hold. Under the hood, the GT 811e reflects Taylor's envelope-pushing design approach - they've adapted the tone-enhancing benefits of V-Class bracing into a new pattern that provides similar increases in volume and sustain for the GT's smaller frame. Called C-Class bracing, this interior architecture boosts the response in the bass range, yielding warmth and presence that a guitar of this size typically can't produce.

Andy Powers, lead designer for Taylor, had this to say “You'll hear that familiar spruce and rosewood flat-top guitar sound, but with the GT's fresh form and structure, the listening and playing experiences deliver a distinctly new dimension. This model retains the slinky, ultra-easy handling and string feel, but the voice has been shaped into a denser, harmonically saturated sound. The top responds quickly to even the most delicate articulation, and it's buoyed by the deep and supportive sound rosewood is known for.”
