A superior build
A guitar that demands attention. The grand auditorium body delivers brilliant sound projection that is sure to captivate anyone. It is also exceptionally versatile, so you will never be limited. With full, rounded lows, pronounced mids, and sparkling highs, you'll have a gorgeous tonal response across the whole frequency range. Better still, the stunning Venetian cutaway offers sublime playability. Fingerpick and strum effortlessly, even when reaching those upper frets.
Crafted entirely from tropical mahogany, you'll have a dreamy playing experience that will never tire. Mahogany exudes resonance, richness, and wondrous balance thanks to its emphasis on midrange frequencies. But its robust and durable properties are what make it perfect for the scrupulously crafted body and neck. Thanks to long-lasting stability, you can relish such a tone for years to come. And if that isn't enough, mahogany's sonic capabilities grow more focused as the wood matures, meaning you'll have endless glistening sound.
Designed for flawless fretting
The ebony fretboard features a naturally high oil content which gives it a lusciously smooth finish. Slide effortlessly from fret to fret and lose yourself in a glorious playing experience, your sound will flow seamlessly from the strings. Ebony is an extremely responsive tonewood that offers a beautifully bright sound, making it a gorgeous accompaniment to mahogany. Project your music with purpose and brilliant volume, ebony's snappy and crisp attack ensures that every single note cuts through the mix astonishingly well, leaving nothing unheard.
Amplify your sound
One of the most compelling features of this guitar is the Expression System 2 that is mounted discreetly. Featuring three pickup sensors, this electronic system captures more acoustic dynamics than ever before. Combined with Taylor's 'professional audio' preamp, this guitar allows you to plug into an amp, PA system, or recording software whilst always experiencing glorious acoustic tonal properties. Sculpt your tone with three soft rotary controls and achieve a sound that is well and truly unique.
