GT

 

This was released rather recently, I've meant to mention it here but got distracted; as usual. This is the new GT series by Taylor. The manufacturer says it sits between a grand concert & a GS mini with a full solid body construction (spruce top + back / ash sides). The scale length is also an in-betweener; 24.3" +/- the fretboard is eucalyptus. If this is meant to entice the GS Mini fans to cross over to the GT camp then it's a risky call price-wise (USD1,399 without electronics). There are very few GS Mini fans who are truly displeased with the instrument in the mean time; the playing comfort & tone are simply done right. The financial profile of the current GS Mini owners are also not ready to own the GT. Also, Taylor is  competing against itself because for USD1,399 the American Dream model would be easy enticement for players who want to move into a bigger sounding acoustic domain, which is a natural thing to do if one is to move away from a smaller, compact-sized instrument.
