Grand Orchestra Gig Bag
« on: September 24, 2019, 12:41:55 PM »
Can someone point me in the right direction for one? I can't seem to find one ... Taylor makes a gig bag for the GA/DN.. will a GO fit in there?

TIA!!!

Not sure Taylor ever offered a Gig Bag for the Grand Orchestra -- or even a Grand Symphony for that matter; a call to Taylor Customer Service would seem to be in order...

What I do know is a GO will never fit in a GA/DN gig bag...  Ultimately, you might need to look to aftermarket sources.
DN: 360e, 510ce, 510e-FLTD, 810ce-LTD (Braz RW), PS10ce
GA: 414ce, 614ce-LTD, 714ce-FLTD, BR-V, BTO (Makore, 'Wild Grain' RW, Blkwood), GAce-FLTD, K24ce, PS14ce (Coco, Braz RW, "Milagro"), W14ce-LTD
GC: 812ce-LTD TF, BTO TF ('Sinker'/Walnut, Engelmann/"Milagro"), LTG #400
GO: 718e-FLTD, BTO (Taz Myrtle)
GS: Custom 516e, BTO 12's (Taz Tiger Myrtle, 'Crazy' RW), 556ce, 656ce, K66ce, PS56ce ("Milagro")
GS Mini 2012 Spring LTD (Blackwood)
T3/B: Custom (Cu & Au Sparkle)
T5: C1, C5-12, S (Aztec Gold)

Blue Heron can make a custom gig bag.  They’ll need the dimensions, so make sure you add an inch in every direction.

I called Taylor. Wow, they are awesome.

They said they will custom make one for me... for surprisingly low-cost!

So, whist placing my order to do so, they said "hey, look we have one in stock ready to ship."

I'm so glad I called! Thank-you for the advice :)

Not a total surprise. Taylor has some of the best CS people out there. Even the techs are amazingly helpful when you have questions. It's always the FIRST place I go with my Taylor questions.

That is COOL. Way to go Taylor Service!  I have been able to carefully squeeze a GS or RT 1 into a standard Taylor gig bag.  No way to go bigger...

I can tell you that my LKSM 12 string JUMBO fits in a Mono Vertigo bag!  Which is advertised as a Dreadnought bag.  But will just fit a long scale 12 string 14 fret JUMBO with a 17" Lower Bout!  They are really nice bags and have a cool top loading feature and a "running shoe sole" on the bottom.

Time to call Taylor Service myself!

Cheers
