Key Features
Product Ref: 86743
Taylor have refined the classic Dreadnought shape to suit their own needs, producing low-end power, a snappy midrange, and strong, clear treble notes. Whilst still offering the powerful tones that you would normally get from a dreadnought, the redesigned take provides the essence of the balanced Taylor sound. With a blend of power and articulation, this dreadnought acoustic is perfect for flatpickers as well as players who love the traditional guitar shape and tones.
The Taylor guitar’s body is crafted from a tropical mahogany top and tasmanian blackwood back and sides, delivering an incredibly dark, dry tone with beautifully balanced frequencies. The mahogany top features a stiffness to create a bright tone that gradually gets deeper. The more the mahogany is played, the more it develops overtones to add fullness and richness to the overall tonality. The blackwood provides a strong midrange focus, adding extra dryness and warmth to the guitar’s sound. The tonewood also produces incredible projection and volume, delivering a splash of top-end shimmer with beautiful richness.
The performance bracing pattern features customised bracing profiles and placement for each body shape to optimise their inherent strengths. This bracing pattern uses side braces as well as the standard setup, adding rigidity and helping to maximise both top and back movement. The overall effect is an enhanced midrange, sustain, and tone that features plenty of warmth.
Tropical Mahogany is used for the Taylor guitar’s neck, delivering a soothingly warm and mellow tone with good presence in the lower mids. Taylor’s unique NT neck design provides players with a perfectly straight and stable guitar neck, enhancing its resistance to common problems such as changes in humidity. An ebony fingerboard provides the acoustic guitar with extra tightness and clarity, creating a fast attack for added definition.
