More Next Generation Models | Taylor Guitars

Several new Grand Auditorium models receive Taylor's innovative Next Generation updates.

Taylor Guitars is continuing the expansion of its Next Generation Grand Auditorium guitars. Just months after debuting across the 300, 400 and 800 Series, Taylor’s three key Next-Gen design innovations — the Action Control Neck™, scalloped V-Class® bracing and Claria™ System electronics — are now rolling out across six additional series: the 500, 600, 700, 900, Koa and Presentation Series. What started as an evolution of Taylor’s most popular body style is now a new standard for premium acoustic guitar performance, bringing a richer, more expressive and more versatile playing experience to a wider array of Grand Auditorium models.

“The Grand Auditorium has always been one of the most versatile guitars we make, and these innovations take that Swiss Army knife-ability even further,” said Andy Powers, Taylor’s Chief Guitar Designer and CEO. “Every refinement we make is about meeting players where they are — giving them a guitar that responds to how they play, the sounds they hear in their head, and the music they want to make.”

The three signature Next Generation design features — the patented Action Control Neck™, which delivers enhanced sustain, warmth and resonance while enabling instant string height adjustments through the soundhole; scalloped V-Class® bracing, which enhances low-end response and top movement while preserving V-Class’s renowned pitch accuracy and sustain; and the Claria™ System electronics, which pair an improved under-saddle piezo pickup with a proprietary preamp and intuitive soundhole controls for effortless tone-shaping in any live setting — are now available in Grand Auditorium models across nine series and nearly a dozen tonewood pairings within Taylor’s Standard Collection.
