PRATLEY Traditional Grand Auditorium 2ce
The Pratley Traditional Grand Auditorium 2ce combines a solid spruce soundboard with mahogany back and sides for a balanced, responsive acoustic tone suited to strumming, fingerstyle and everyday playing. The Grand Auditorium body shape offers a comfortable feel, while the cutaway provides easier access to the upper frets.
Designed in Australia, the TGA-2ce is fitted with a Fishman Sonitone GT1 pickup, making it ready for live performance, rehearsals and recording. Pratley also completes the fretboard, fret, nut, saddle and string setup work in its Australian factory before the guitar reaches the player.

Body & Construction
The solid spruce soundboard is paired with mahogany back and sides, giving the TGA-2ce a versatile tonal foundation with clarity, warmth and useful dynamic response. Pratley’s Traditional Scalloped X bracing uses spruce brace material, while the 14th-fret neck joint and cutaway help keep the guitar comfortable across a wide playing range.
Electronics
A Fishman Sonitone GT1 pickup is fitted as standard, giving players a straightforward way to plug into an acoustic amplifier, PA system or recording setup while retaining the natural character of the guitar.
Who Is It For?
The Traditional Grand Auditorium 2ce is a strong choice for players wanting one acoustic-electric guitar that can cover home playing, lessons, songwriting, rehearsals and live work. Its Grand Auditorium shape is especially appealing to players who want something more compact and balanced than a traditional dreadnought while still retaining plenty of acoustic projection.
Our Take
Pratley has put together a very practical specification here: solid spruce where it matters most, mahogany back and sides, a comfortable cutaway Grand Auditorium body and dependable Fishman electronics. Add the included premium soft case and Australian setup work, and the TGA-2ce offers a lot of guitar at its price point.
