The Taylor Neck

Introduced in 1999, the patented Taylor Neck offers legendary playing comfort, exceptional intonation and easy adjustability.

Inside a Game-Changing Innovation

The Taylor Neck, originally called the NT Neck, was an original Bob Taylor innovation that grew from a foundation of slender, hand-friendly bolt-on necks and changed how builders and players think about acoustic guitar design. Optimized for exceptionally easy, precise adjustability, the NT Neck came to be known as a defining feature of Taylor guitars for decades to come.

Here’s what makes a Taylor Neck unique.

Three-Piece Configuration

By crafting necks in three pieces—shaft, peghead and heel, all cut from the same block—we can create remarkably consistent necks that are straight, stable and durable. The three-piece design also helps reduce wood waste, increasing the yield from each tree harvested.

Slim Profile, Low Action

From the beginning, Taylor has always prioritized playability with slender necks designed to bring out your best. Every Taylor Neck features a comfortable profile that minimizes hand fatigue, whether you’re a beginner learning your first chords or a pro fretting complex arrangements.

A Perfect Setup, Every Time

Because the Taylor Neck’s three-bolt assembly secures the neck to the body without glue, a technician can easily and quickly remove the neck and adjust its angle for perfect sound, string height and tonal transfer, a process that takes minutes instead of days or weeks.
