Taylor 214 Grand Auditorium Acoustic Natural 2010
Taylor 214, natural finish, made in Mexico 2010. This is a comfy little guitar. Taylor's GA shape is a little thinner and smaller across the body than a dreadnought, but still bigger than a parlour or 000. That translates to sitting beautifully on your lap, and paired with the slim, electric-style neck, this is just... easy to play. The tone is typical Taylor: tight and controlled down low, bright and open on top, with a certain hi-fi sheen. The spruce has some cool (bear?) marks behind the bridge; it's a simple but classy looking thing. You can't go too wrong here.
