Title: Case Question: Grand Auditorium Size
Post by: foleyone on February 18, 2021, 10:41:04 AM: Just wondering if anyone know what size case I should get for a grand auditorium? The gig bag that came with it is nice, but I’m looking to get a hard case for the added protection. I love in Canada, so I can’t buy the official case from the Taylor website.

So any case that will fit a dread will also fit a GA. Since the GA has a pinched waist, you'll have a little extra room in the case which you can fill with towels or accessories.

My favorite hard case these days is the Hiscox Pro II, and that works on my GA's as well. https://www.elderly.com/collections/all/products/hiscox-liteflite-pro-ii-dreadnought-small-f-guitar-case

The heavier Artist series is flight-worthy and used by many touring pro's. Given an option I would choose the ivory color, both to make it stand out better among dark cases and to reflect heat better in the sun.

Here is one on Sweetwater:

I would get the proper Taylor case if you can. Someone in Canada probably sells it too.

Best on this

Can't a Canadian dealer order a case for you? Long & McQuade is pretty much everywhere up there, aren't they?
