Love the contrast in playing that shows the guitar’s response to different players styles.
Great job on this reveal and review guys! I saw the news in an email from Taylor this morning and the guitar sounds like everything they promised it would be.
Sounds great. Can’t wait for the extra selections
Love the reviews guys! Please do a comparison to a similar Martin... I have a koa GSmini and would love to get a solid wood small size guitar in the near future 👍🏻
Wow! Thank you. Pretty impressive. Way to go Taylor and Andy!
I know the feeling about wanting another Taylor. I'll have to try it before I buy it. I've tried an American Dream, but had been spoiled by my 614ce, BE 717e and GS Mini. Great demo and good sounding guitar. Thanks
@@tgf5652 I liked the 317 but got the 717e for a rounder bass. I already owned a GSmini, a 614ce, and Martin D28. I played the AD17 but the edge of the fret board seemed rough or sharp to me catching the side of my hand. Maybe it was just that guitar. Maybe not. I'd need to try out the GT before I could give you a fair comparison. Tied up with family things right now. The shorter scale is intriguing. My GS Mini is probably headed for a grandchild.
Thanks lads a cracking review
Daaam I love slight v neck, and it's offset?! Hell yeah! It's about time, now I don't have to build it myself. I can really tell his excitement about this one.
I have the mahogany version of this. As a smaller dude, this and my GS Mini suit me very well.
I want to learn everything I just watched them play!
I just bought a 317e last week, but now I want another Taylor
You are not alone...
I'm in the same boat. Bought a Taylor 2 weeks ago.
I had the T5, and SOLD IT? S T U P I D. And I had the 317, same IDIOT MOVE. Do not do drugs.
I now have the 8 series, $3900. Filed down bridge, light strings, and still sounds so rich.
ALL TAYLORS are so nice. This is MY OPINION NOW, My friend has a $4000 Martin, and , to me, Taylor blows it away.
I could never see the lure for Martin, I have a cheap Yamaha that sounds better that his Martin. I have , over the years, played many Martins, could never afford them, but then, Taylor. WOW.
I'm kinda torn between this and the mini-e Koa Plus. What do you guys think?
You do such a fantastic job of explaining every guitar!...both of you playing this guitar is outstanding! Different style from you both let’s everyone experience the amazing sounds and styles. Great job Chris another amazing guitar from Taylor. You both rep!...Taylor so well thank you!! I wish they made it in a lefty😫...I’m buying a Taylor Koa!...please make more Lefty’s Taylor!!!PLEASE!!i could just deposit my pay check in Taylor’s Bank!
We are trying to stock more Taylor lefties for southpaws such as yourself. ;)
Alamo Music Center thank you 🙏🏻
I’m pretty sure everything Taylor makes is available in a left handed version.
charles bolton They don’t make everything in Leftie.
dwightlowes
At one point it used to say on their website that everything was available left handed and unlike some other companies they did not charge extra for that option. I guess they stopped doing it for some reason.
Hey guys! I have a Taylor 517, but it does something weird my other guitars don't:
After you play a chord and then dampen all strings with your left hand, the resonance of the wood keeps sounding for like 10 or 20 seconds...
When I do the same on my Emerald or Takamine guitars, they are silent almost immediately, just a very short trail.
So I put on a mask and drove to my local music shop (not Alamo Music) to try the Taylor GT urban ash. Yes, it is very comfortable to play. Sounds good. That being said, at this price point, I questioned the quality at least on the one I was playing, to say that urban ash sounds like mahogany is a stretch. I do like the using readily available wood.
I played one the other day. I really don’t like the lack of binding. For the price I would expect better detail. Same with the AD. But it was very comfortable to play and sounded nice.
My favorite nut width for an acoustic. Same as my Huss & Dalton.
Thank you.
I found the video from a Taylor email I rec'd and uh... the highlight of the video was Cooper's playing. I'm gonna check this guy out, it looks like he could play a cabinet door and make people jealous.
I am learning on the Academy 10e, how does this compare in size ? I want to level up and dont want to get a bigger size guitar than what I have
I want to try one of these out.
Nice! Do you think they will come out with a cutaway version soon?
Hell yeah bro! Cooper just made me decide to get one those bad boys!!!! I was stuck between taylor GTe & martin sc-13……… i wanted a cut away😒!!
Looks just like my 13-year-old Taylor 214 which I love. That said, now I have the 914ce I must say I prefer the cutaway style.
A Cooper duper demo! Still like Chris's Amazing Grace. Thanks folks.
Sounds great! Tone is very balanced. Mids are nicely warm. They don’t seem so pronounced that they would interfere with vocals. The appearance is a simple beauty. This guitar may be my next purchase. The price is very reasonable considering construction and materials. Taylor may have just hit a grand slam! I’m listening on an IPad with air pod pro ear buds
I am trying to decide between the GT and Martin SC-13E. What would you recommend? I have a GS Mini and like the feel of Taylor necks more than Martine but the SC-13E seems like it it doesn't have typical feel of a Martin neck
If I could play like Cooper I'd buy just about anything! Had pegged GS Mini-e Koa Plus as the next...now perhaps this one or it's next iteration.
You should check out his youtube!

I really hope they put this C-Class bracing in their other series so they can increase overtones richness they lost with the V-Class bracing. Having a 816CE or 826CE with this C-Class bracing will be an absolute winner. I believe they really can engineer something like that.
Cool intro👌
which is better for recording, this or taylor AD17e?
I bought a Taylor GS Mini-e Koa a few months ago and I love it. I’m also very interested in this, and if they do a version with a Koa top I would be sold immediately.
I’ve been waiting for the rumored 222 K Deluxe, but I would take this with a Koa top over that.
Chris you're like a kid in a sweetshop!
These two guys Rock!!!
Delicious -thank you
I love it praying for a hog top!
Love the Taylor GT
I want one!
Amazing guitar!!!
What if I want to learn the song at 15:04 ?
Sounds like a great guitar, can it take strumming in the likes of playing Pin ball Wizard and do good? Thank you.
Next Tuesday evening is Taylor Prime Time. I think Bob Taylor will be next week's guest. GT, Grand Touring instead of Theater?
Sounds like an Ask Bob question to send in, Tex.
Good grief, the bass response on that little guitar while Chris is playing Amazing Grace!!! That's pretty in your face bass. I've not bought a GS mini cause I never could get past the lack of bass. This seems a whole different monster.
Agreed - but is it worth 3 times the price for some added bass? Trying to decide.
Guitar of the decade.......👌
Would be nice if you could've pre-measured the scale length and bottom bout for vid, ready to go. For us tech-minded geeks.
Noted!
I know the quality is way better on the GT, but how does it compare to the size of the BIG BABY? Since it’s 15/16 size of a dred.
Great video! Is this guitar meant to rival Martin’s Dreadnought Junior? With the nut width between 1 3/4” & 1 11/16”, did they really find a sweet spot or do you still prefer a 1 3/4” nut width?
(I currently own a Martin DJR and just ordered a Martin 000c Junior 10e but previously owned a Taylor GS Mini Koa and Taylor T5z Pro. Been hoping Taylor would release something like the Dreadnought Junior)
The GS Mini rivals the Martin DJR. This is a new body shape, different scale length, American-made, all solid wood and a unique internal architecture. Nothing in common with the GS Mini. Sound is bigger, warmer, more mature.
Keith Brawley thanks for the clarification!
I still prefer 1 3/4 That IS the sweet spot for me just my opinoin clearly cooper can play ANY guitar better than I could ever even dream just wish it had a 1 3/4
The Martin dreadnaught jr. is all solid wood ,sapele b & sides and really sounds great. It resonants better than the GS mini I have..Its slightly bigger than the Gs. It's nut width is 1_3\4 inch., 24 inch scale length . This GT is going up against the Junior, but the price point isn't even close. If looking at a Taylor, go straight to a 312, better value, better resonance, better tone, for a little more $ or get a Jr. for less.
I currently have an A10e, is this a better guitar or just something different.
I wouldn't say better, but it is a higher tier guitar in the Taylor lineup. However it is a different model than the 10e not an upgrade so it is hard to compare.
Sir!! I really love your head. It is more shinier than the new guitar 🤣.
It sounds a bit thin with the lighter gauge strings?
When will the koa version be released?
I was dead set on getting a GS Mini Plus but now this thing shows up n now I'm torn. If u had to guess, n u totally know they will, when do u think Taylor would release a koa version of this bad boy?
Can't say for sure, but if you want the Koa maybe wait around a while. Taylor always delivers the Koa at some point or another. I don't wanna say for sure especially with Covid and all, but I think if you planned on it being released within a year you would not be disappointed.
@@AlamoMusic GT is twice price. So stick with mini.
I hope we get a mahagony GT with bevel!
I live GS mini. And the idea of a solid wood version, a tiny bit larger, is awesome. I think price of 1599 and wood choice hurts it’s value. GA mini is great because it’s a value. For 1599 why wouldn’t one get any other guitar. If they made it 999 or even 1299, maybe.
I wish it had a gloss finish.
wish all these demos would show a "how it sounds in the room" example.
If we should follow you guys on IG, FB etc what are your links?
Would like to here a gte vs a 314ce since the price point is only around $300 diffrence.
Super guitar 👍👍👍
Coach Taylor
...Cooper could make a Best Choice Walmart 🎸 sound good...
Will the GT soon have cutaway?
Why would someone buy a GS-Mini Plus if this is available? Too bad I already purchased my Plus because I would have got this instead if it were available. This may compete too much with GS-Mini line in general because the all solid wood and extra 3/4" will be desirable. Argh, looks like more money to spend soon! Time to CL a couple other guitars from the collection!
I’m not normally a Taylor guy as I usually like Gibson’s and Martins. But this thing looks really appealing. It might be a perfect couch/travel guitar. Any idea of what they will list does. Sub $2k?
Great...was just getting ready to buy a GS Mini, now I have to spend more $$ for one of these...🙄
YOUR IN LUCK
Koa on this GT series. 💵 💵
mmm almost looks like the old Gibson L2 - without the sunburst
Nice looking..love to have one. However pitching it that it is the next step up from the mini. Take the Mini down to the beach they say. Well the new ultra koa GS Mini is nearly a grand. Wouldn't consider that thought. Come on Taylor....your prices are going up and up.. Bought myself Gibson L-00 studio. Beautiful. Wanted a Taylor but out of reach. Is it just me ? Very happy with the L-00 ...cant put it down. If your going travelling..take a charity shop buy.
Love my Gibson L00, Taylor's price points have never sat well with me comparative to the other big brands.
Is the guy with the long hair on Ambien?
Little guitar but powerful
Any word on another Taylor promotion to buy a 3 series and get a mini for 99?
I think they do the same promotion every Spring.
That was the first time Taylor has ever done that and it was a response to the pandemic to help keep dealers afloat. I don’t think we would see it again unless things get dicey. -Chris
Cooper jams!
Lefty, please!!
At 1600 USD definitively not a travel guitar (regardless of the size). Super that is all solid wood...
I already have a GS Mini a Baby taylor, a Big baby taylor, a 12e-N and this coming weeks I´m buying the AD17 black. Why should I buy a Taylor GT? Why should I buy a Taylor GT? Well why sould I not? Hell, I´m buying it.
“To theater guitar, or not to theater guitar? that is the question.”
Fretboard Radius???
Making me rethink the idea of getting a GS Mini.
I have a MIni-e Mahogany which I love..... but I want one of these too!
$1600. The only thing I'd be willing to drop $1600 on in this video would be paying Cooper to come to my house and play my guitars so they'd all sound unbelievable..
As ridiculous as I find the $1600 value, if Taylor put a slotted headstock on a GT I'd probably buy a few in different woods. But as it stands now, I was amazed when I went to the Taylor website and saw the GT valued over $1k.
i noticed that someone has unsubscribed me from your channel..
Why? Just curious. Not a hater. I have five Taylor guitars. This one is too expensive for what is basically an all wood GS-Mini. I don’t believe they did this to “do something fun”.
The important question is.....How much??
Taylor website says $1399 for GT - acoustic only and $1599 for GTe acoustic+pickup
Looks like the rest of them.
They’re asking $1600 for this with p/u. That is ridiculous. I wouldn’t dream of paying that. I have several guitars that are MUCH nicer than this for less money. I bought an Eastman E10ss/v for $1250 OTD with hard shell case. It’s hand made with all solid woods and a hand rubbed varnish finish. You would be a fool to pay this kind of money for this.
I guess you have never played a Taylor. There is no comparison in the play ability between a Taylor and an Eastman. Not saying the Eastman is not a great guitar it is. I am sure you love it.
@@wdmore I’ve owned Taylor’s since 1998. I’ve owned 5 of them over the years. I still own my 1998 W10. All of my Eastmans play easily as well as any Taylor’s I’ve owned or played. Especially my W10ss/v. The GT is Horribly overpriced. Taylor guitars have been skimping more and more over the last several years. You get less and less while you pay more and more. I’m done with Taylor’s.
nice guitar but pricey, selling in the UK for £1350.
I would buy a Faith legacy Earth for £1000.
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Acoustic Spinal Tap.😂🤣😂
guys have a chemi 🤣
When will guitars be built entirely out of synthetic materials, and when will design, say body layout, discover body shapes and construction details that are wow and REALLY new? Gradual change will never surprise us. Not really. Watch the Taylor in this video. Beautiful. Great playing it. But be honest, this is just the next guitar. And after this model, they will come with something similar, and make you believe that one is a thousand times better than what you see here. Anybody yawning? Right, that is the trouble here. Please have the computer design experts and the luthiers meet, I want to see new materials and revolutionary designs. Not just one of their guitars in carbon epoxy. The next generation guitars will astound us. This GT is okay. Not wow! Watch modern aviation, watch the automotive industry, watch drones, watch how our world is changing. And here comes the next conservative design guitar, though I must admit the bracing is daring. But you got my point? Why not go three steps further? Composite materials, applied math dictating NEW body shapes, where the BEEEEEEEEP are the alternative fret layouts? Please please please do a hundred things in a new way. The world is not waiting for this GT. Do you understand? You need the new generation of engineers and the top 10 of the latest luthiers. Or you will sell to old millionairs only. Is that cool? No, it is boring. Predictable at best. Do you get the point? Why would you produce that guitar in 2023?
Taylor make slick great build guitars but they all seem lack bass including this, Shame.
Keep the piano guys away from this!
Another bass light, homogenised, anemic Taylor offering. I love my GO but it’s one of the only Taylor’s that has any bass. Hated the GS Mini I had; it was the “shouty teenager” of the guitar world. I want so much to love Taylor’s but they are just characterless, IMO. Nothing to hate but nothing to love either, just bland.
I sure wish you could play some type of Melody rather than a bunch of random garbage chords. It would be so nice so it wouldn’t be so painful to watch these reviews. But that aside. Who would spend that much money on this guitar. I mean really. Maybe if I wait long enough I can get one used or on sale. The price they’re asking is insane
I’m not hearing enough bass. I don’t like tons of bass but Taylors have always sounded too treble-ey to me.
Clap track crap....REALLY?
I dont like the sound.
Another overpriced toy guitar
