400 Series
Whether you choose ovangkol or rosewood, you can count on a lively, full-range acoustic voice.
400 Series
Indian rosewood or African ovangkol? Both deliver full-range tone profiles. Rosewood’s voice tends to emphasize the low and high ends of the tonal spectrum, with an extra splash of treble sparkle, while ovangkol will lean toward a stronger midrange presence. Let your ears be the judge. If it comes down to looks, you’ve got ovangkol’s golden-brown hues and Small Diamond inlays versus rosewood’s chocolate complexion and a Renaissance fretboard inlay. Whichever flavor you prefer, signature Taylor playability will help you sound your best.
