Case Question: Grand Auditorium Size

[foleyone]

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.

Taylor's GA model has the same size lower bout as a dreadnaught (the dread just has a fatter waist than the GA).  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.

As Dennis correctly said, a GA will fit any normal dreadnought case - mine always did.  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.

Lots of retailers sell the Taylor GA case. Just Google it...  or call Sweetwater, Sam Ash, etc.

Here is one on Sweetwater:

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

Thanks for the replies everyone. I went ahead and picked up an affordable dreadnought sized case after testing it for fit. It’s almost a perfect fit. Once the border opens up I may look into getting the official Taylor case if needed.

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

You could go to "Reverb" and probably find one.  They seem to always have one.  Then have it shipped to Canada.
