Hi,

The beauty of Taylors is that pretty much all of them do fingerstyle well. So if you pick GS; GA; or even DN or Jumbo (Leo Kottke plays a jumbo), you'll get a quality sound.

Yet IMO the best choices are:

1st choice: GC (Grand Concert) body size is a strong #1 for me.

2nd choice: GA (Grand Auditorium)

3rd choice: GS (Grand Symphony)

The wood combo depends on what sound you like, where your playing, and with whom (if anyone). Your ear will most likely lead you to what you like the most as far as the woods.


My choices are:

1st choice: Koa sides and back, Englemann Spruce top (GC body size)

2nd choice: Mahogany sides and back, cedar top (GC5 model)

3rd choice: Rosewood sides and back, cedar top (GC7 model)

4th choice: Maple sides and back, sitka spruce top (GSMS model)
