Description
Experience the perfect blend of power, comfort, and style with the Taylor GTe Mahogany acoustic-electric guitar. Crafted with an all-mahogany body, this guitar delivers warm, natural tones and a balanced response that resonates with players of all styles. Its compact Grand Theater body shape invites you in with its comfortable feel, making it an ideal companion for both stage performances and intimate jam sessions.
The GTe Mahogany's secret weapon is its innovative C-Class bracing, a proprietary design that enhances bass response, sustain, and projection. This bracing pattern ensures that the guitar's smaller size doesn't compromise its ability to produce a rich, full sound. Paired with the ES2 electronics, this guitar offers a lifelike acoustic tone when plugged in, making it a versatile tool for any musician.
Designed for ease of play, the GTe Mahogany features a 24-1/8-inch scale length that softens string tension, providing a smooth, agile playing experience. Its eucalyptus fingerboard not only looks stunning but also offers the feel of ebony with an eco-friendly twist. Aesthetically, the rustic charm of the GTe Mahogany is highlighted by its matte finish and minimalist appointments, making it as visually appealing as it is sonically impressive.
Whether you're fingerpicking by the fireside or strumming on stage, the Taylor GTe Mahogany is ready to accompany you on your musical journey.

Artist usage
Add artist
Lizzy uses this guitar in this video. You can tell it's a GTe Mahogany because of the knobs (for the ES pickup system), the mahogany top, and the rosette (different than the rosette on the GS Mini). The soundhole size in comparison to the body size is another indicator that it's a GT, rather than a GS Mini.
