- Have you ever been shopping for guitars online and sorted by price? If you have recently, specifically with Taylor Guitars, you might've seen these two side by side: The new Taylor GT and the Taylor AD17. These guitars are Taylor's latest entry-level, American made, all solid wood guitars, and they just so happen to be priced the same; however, they're wildly different instruments. One of them is a smaller scale guitar with new C-Class bracing, while the other is a full sized round shoulder dreadnought with V-Class bracing. Which one is right for you? Take a look and a listen and let us know which you prefer!

I played both of these yesterday. There's a big difference in playability and sound. One plays like a small guitar (toy), and the other is full-size. I purchased the AD17 but might go back for the GT too. It's a fun guitar! I put D'Addario (Phosphor Bronze - Light strings (12)) on as soon as I got home; it changed the sound again. But - it plays so much easier. You can't beat the fretboard! I think you'll love either of these guitars.
Thank you! I wondered whether anyone would make a video featuring these two models head to head, and figured y'all were the most likely to. Already had a good idea what the AD17 sounded like, and it lives up to that precedent here. The GT is really impressive for a de facto parlor guitar; it doesn't /sound/ tiny.
So ... both lovely guitars, and either would be a fine addition to the family. But personally, I have limited space and will sit on my wallet for a few more months until I have the scratch for the 612ce 12-fret that I really want.
I used to record doubled, hard paned tracks with my old mid-80’s 412 and a first generation Baby Taylor. I love the result. This video made me wonder how this two would work on a similar situation. To me, different guitars has always been about colors on the sound pallet. Never about which one is “better”. That’s why we keep lusting for more! I really enjoy your videos! Thank you!
I'd take the GT (comfortable size for me)...Thanks Chris for the review 🎶🎶🎶
That little GT sounds great! Just started looking into getting a smaller bodied guitar. May already found it. Wow.
Cool little innovative guitar that I'm gonna have to get a hold of and take for a spin.
Thanks for the video guys.
Love the sound of the AD but love the size of the GT.. difficult choice.. 😮
I had an Alvarez AP70 with the GTs Scale length basically OO Now a O18 Martin I like a small body and less scale length so GT for me
GT has the sweet even midrange sound that appeals to me.
This video is still relevant for me. It isn't just about the 'price' being the same. What it really boils down to is only being able to buy ONE guitar that costs this much (of course the price has gone up since this was posted, haha). I have several inexpensive guitars and my only acoustic is an Epiphone PR-200, worth about $200. My guitars feel and sound cheap. Now being a father, with lots of responsibilities, buying a quality guitar in this price range is a very big splurge. Knowing all the differences, it's still about deciding if I want a comfortable, small guitar, to play on the couch, or a full-size workhorse. I am hoping to make it a family heirloom to pass down to my daughter. Oh well....I am still saving. 😀
Both sound good! Expected AD to kill the GT, but was surprised how well it sounded. Out of these two I would pick the AD and if needed a mini.
Can’t wait to own an Urban Ash. Their tone is just right up my alley
Great review ..as usual, thanks! Both these guitars are dream guitars to me and over my budget but I couldn't help looking at them. Anyway to me, they both sound great and I would be thrilled to own either but the larger GP AD17 is much deeper, richer and smoother sounding in each example...to my ear at least.
Gt sounds like a well balanced all around guitar. Ive been looking for a good little recording guitar and think Ive found it
I’ve got a AD22 .. and a GS Mini Koa, that GT is next for sure. It holds its own easily ..
8:42 | 10:35 | 12:38 | 14:24 GT
9:41 | 11:36 | 13:29 | 15:04 AD17
This video was very helpful. Thank you! The ending broke my heart, though..
Last night (10/20) Bob Taylor said they would be doing the GT in different tone woods in 2022. I think I might try the GT, but I already have AD17 equivalent or better in standard Taylor lines (BE 717E).
Actually like the sound of the gt better. Surprised since it's the smaller body. Really like that enhanced mid range. Plus I like the look of that body shape. Anything from Martin that's about the same size? Maybe in the next comparison?
I have had my GS mahogany one year now. Blues. Next guitar: GT. Holy Shit.
Made the easy choice today, bought both.
Bob thanks
Big help Sir! GT suits me, i like the sticky sound like of a nylon guitar... thanks..
Lol, can't forget that outro. I appreciate the effort to cover the brand of that guitar to not give the idea they're a bad brand. I do wonder though what it was... my best guess is a Yamaha FG800.
FG 830, I guess..darker rosewood body is visible, but what a waste, it's an amazing guitar should have given to some needy person
I think that guitar had a big crack in the top. Look carefully. I’m sure they didn’t trash a perfectly fine FG830.
The AD17 i just got it today. Both guitars are sooo good.
I have the Gr urban ash and it’s a perfect couch/around the house guitar. I’ve also got a 214 for more strumming/louder out playing and would love to upgrade that to an all wood, was thinking the ad17 may fit the bill….any suggestions ? Your reviews are great by the way and thanks again!
Been waiting for this review. You guys rock. Being the same price definitely confuses things.... Guess we just need both... As always!!
Great review thank you. +2 to the wishlist.
If you are an older person like myself, I recommend the GS mini or GT.
For what reason specifically?
I want a GT, but Im not a spruce top fan personally. If they come out with a Hog or Koa, Ill buy immediately
In the other video, they confirmed they will be building the GT with other wood options like “Koa” =]
I can't wait!!!!
I think I would get a Koa one too
both sound good to me, but unsurprisingly, the AD17 sounds more appropriate for what i want to do, modern, double tracked strumming with vocals
Great Demo of both the AD seems more comfortable. The price points are the same but that’s all...otherwise way different. I can see and hear it!
Este video realmente me ayudo muchas gracias saludos 🇲🇽
I’d be pleased to play both.
Hello Chris, it is really difficult here which guitar sounds better. For my taste, the GT is a bit ahead. It sounds more differentiated and cleaner to me, especially in the highs.
I love the GT, Im so excited to try it out. I wonder, when will the other tonewood colors come out?
I would love a Koa myself.
Just bought my GTe,
Obviously I’m a female player and it’s fits perfect to my body.
Chris; Would you recommend one of these guitars over the other for a beginner? These are the two guitars I am considering for my first step-up guitar. Right now, I am playing the smaller version of the guitar that you guys destroyed at the end of the video (name withheld to protect the innocent, haha). I am concerned that I might be doing myself a disservice by buying the GT and not a "full size" guitar. I am more a fingerstyle light strummer type of player and want a guitar that would be gentle on my 62 year old fingers and hands.
I’ve been a guitar teacher for 50 years. I recommend to you the Taylor GS mini. Or the GT
Thank you! I am going to buy it.
Where is the stimulus, so i can buy one of these lmao
There is actually such a thing as a "piano smashing competition" ... I remember being at an event years ago when this was on and my mother saw the programme and said "who'd want to smash a piano?". I actually thought that guitar was going to get smashed over the other guy's head then. What was actually wrong with that guitar?
AD17 for me.
Thank you for this!!
Is the GT body shape going to be repeated in more upmarket Taylor models?
AD17 for the win!
thanks!
Can you share that tune you play when demonstrating the guitars please?
Ending of the video🥲..now your turn to break his fingers so he cannot play his piano😂🤣😂
I want a black top left handed GTe!
Did you ever buy one?
I wish Taylor would make these in a Tobacco or Whiskey burst.
Nice guitars!
Can someone describe the GT neck shape?
both sound good, but for me the AD squeaks ahead. I'd love to play them both then decide.
taylor GT vs 114?
Taylor gt vs grand concert plis
Casino Guitars did a comparison of small-bodied Taylors including the 312 and GT a couple of months ago. "Taylor Guitars Under 2k American Shootout".
Played the GT, did not like it. Played an Academy 12 and bought it. What the heck?! 😂
The outro video is a little sacrilegious. but great vid.
PLEASE COMPARE AND REVIEW THE PRS PARLOR P20 &
P20E!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I CAN'T WAIT ANYMORE
ARRRGRGRGRGRGRGHHHRHHHHHHHHH
My car broke down in Alamo in the 90's.
I got ripped off at the car shop.
The sheriff didn't come.
Gt great guitar 🎸 👌
The end of the video 😭😭
Bought a gt for $650
Littyy
That was a stupid commercial at the end of this video - crashing the guitar...real stupid.
Hmmmmmm......Eucalyptus fretboard. I believe these guitars are very popular with Koalas.
Don't knock 'em 'til you've tried 'em. Beautiful fretboards.
