Taylor GT811e Reveal | Taylor's Newest Body Shape, Upgraded!

I bought a GT a week and a half ago, and I love it. I was struggling with a guitar I purchased in 1972 and never really learned how to play. During this "lockdown" I decided to try once more and struggled again, even with a live instructor. Part of my problem was scaled length, I think. The old guitar has a 25 7/8" scale length and when I had it set up (after pulling it from the basment) it had a set of 13s on it. After watching your presentations on the GT UA, I went to the GC in Wichita and played the GT and a GS mini, both great little guitars. The GT played bigger, so the next day I went back and bought it. I'm not a man to giggle, but my fingers did. I'm glad I purchased the GT UA then, as it's much more affordable, and therefore justifiable, than the GT811. Thank you for these awesome presentations and comparisons, Chris. I'm going to be a nag and add my name to the the many requestors about you putting tabs together for the delicate song you typically play in comparisons. Thanks again.

Super thorough and informative as usual! Thank you!

I love the Taylor 800 series and I thought I'd buy an 814ce but this has given me another option thank you for showcasing this guitar

Played one of these at a local shop last week. I think it’s becoming my dream guitar. I’m never comfortable playing a full size dread, but mini guitars don’t always get that big sound when your wailing on them. Played and sounded so nice.

Just as I was about to pull the trigger on a new guitar, Taylor makes me think about saving up even longer for this beauty 😍

Great demonstration and playing! Looks and sounds like a really nice guitar for fingerstyle.

Great review, Chris....and, now I know what purfuling means!

Beautiful sounding guitar! Love Taylor!

Absolutely beautiful great demo I must have a Taylor!! I’ll Get through my recovery. Then I must have a Taylor not sure which but I’ll be owning a Taylor

Really like the new fingerstyle version of your demo tune in E. Fine tone in the 811.

So beautiful to hear 🙂

That gt811e sounds amazing!

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.

Chris, Thank you so much for playing a same thing every time. I’ve been binging Taylor videos and because you play the same thing each time it’s WAY easier to hear the unique distinctions between models & tone woods. Love your content! Keep it up and have a great weekend!

I was wanting a GS Mini with these appointments. I know that sounds crazy but I love the feel of my GS Mini. I may have to try this out.

Chris, man, you gotta teach how to play the songs that you always play. Are soooo gooooooood!!!🤩😍 Pleeaaaase!!!!!

Great review and it sounds great but can it take a strumming like playing pinball wizard by The Who or is one of those guitars that you can only finger pick on like in video. Thank you, love all the info you provided in your videos.

I’m onboard!

I defiantly hear more bass in the rosewood.

It. Is. Great! I feel so good with the GT body! I bought a GTe mahogany first, very intimate and “in tune” with myself, and now, after tried other luxury brands, I’m back to the GT with this super-wonderful model. Too easy. Too sound (for the size). The comfort in playing it makes you play for loooong and with great satisfaction. Great GT, thanks Taylor!
