FEATURES

Grand Pacific
This round-shoulder dreadnought delivers a new flavor of warm, rich Taylor tone.

Ovangkol
Although not as well-known as its Indian rosewood cousin, ovangkol shares many of the same properties, making it a versatile, great-sounding tonewood.

Sitka Spruce
The soundboard choice for most guitars, Sitka spruce produces a broad dynamic range and accommodates a versatile range of playing styles.

No Electronics
Whether you’re an acoustic purist or simply don’t need a pickup, we’ve got you covered.

V-Class Bracing
Our patented V-Class bracing is a revolutionary new pattern — a new sonic engine — that marks a major shift away from traditional steel-string bracing patterns.
