Broad Utility, Striking Visuals
Blending an all-star tonewood pairing with striking visual appointments, the Taylor 400 Series offers a broad range of musical utility for working musicians of all stripes. Models feature solid Indian rosewood backs and sides paired with solid Sitka spruce tops, yielding a warm low-end character, clear trebles and a slightly scooped midrange that’s ideal for playing in arrangements with vocals or other instruments. V-Class bracing inside dials up the response with louder volume, longer sustain and greater harmony between notes, drawing out more of the rich overtone character that players love in the rosewood/spruce combo. Sunburst top finishes highlight the visual package for a stage-ready presence that’s not too precious for everyday use, while the built-in ES2 electronics offer faithful plugged-in tone for amplified scenarios. Whichever model you choose, you’re sure to find a reliable partner for all your musical pursuits.

Indian Rosewood + Sitka Spruce: Tone for Any Function
One listen reveals why Bob Taylor loves the pairing of Indian rosewood with Sitka spruce: With its lush overtone response, crisp treble range and warm low end, it offers incredible balance and clarity that make it a highly versatile combo.
Performance-Focused Design Elements
The 400 Series boasts innovations that refine the playing experience, including the comfortably slender, easy-to-adjust Taylor Neck and the tone-boosting V-Class bracing, which adds more volume and sustain while making for greater harmony between notes.
Expression System 2 Acoustic Pickup
All 400 Series models come with built-in ES2 electronics, which feature a behind-the-saddle pickup that delivers clear, organic-sounding tone when you plug in to an amplifier or PA.
Sunburst Tops and Fresh Inlays

Hardshell Case Included with Every Guitar

WHAT EXPERTS ARE SAYING
“It is reassuring to note that a human armed with a chisel and old-fashioned ingenuity is capable of making waves—waves of both surf and sound, perhaps the biggest revolution in acoustic guitar architecture since the dawn of X-Bracing.”
