A sunburst Sitka spruce top adds vintage character to this Grand Auditorium 100 Series Taylor guitar. Layered sapele back and sides offer extra resilience to fluctuating climate conditions, and the slightly narrower 1 11/16-inch neck is extra friendly for forming barre chords. It's one of the best full-size guitars you'll find for the money, especially with the availability of Taylor's ES-T® pickup. It makes a viable performance tool, a great entry-level guitar, or a second utility guitar for alternate tunings.
