From wood selection to design elegance, the 900 Series embodies masterful Taylor craftsmanship. The 2012 910ce Rosewood/Spruce Dreadnought Acoustic-Electric Guitar features a Venetian cutaway that along with the Expression System's seamless aesthetic integration enhances this guitar's grace and good looks, offering the ultimate rosewood experience for the acoustic/electric performer.Indian Rosewood/SitkaIndian rosewood seems as if it was created to be on a guitar.

Taylor 2012 410Ce Ovangkol/Spruce Dreadnought Acoustic-Electric Guitar Natural $1899 The Taylor 2012 2012 410ce Ovangkol/Spruce Dreadnought Acoustic-Electric Guitar lets players continue to discover solid African ovangkols responsive, rosewood-like tone, which pairs well with Sitka spruce and can accommodate a range of playing styles. White binding applies a crisp counterpoint against the gloss top and mottled brown hues of ovangkol, while the Expression System wires these guitars for high-fidelity amplified acoustic sound.Dreadnought (DN)Body Width: 16" / Body Depth: 4 5/8" / Body Length: 20"The potent tone flatpickers and strummers love.The most traditional of guitar shapes, Bob Taylor has evolved the Taylor Dreadnought over time to honor its enduring sonic heritage yet also refine the look and sound into a more modern package. The Taylor Dreadnought still boasts that powerful dreadnought tone that old school pickers expect, with deep lows and crisp highs, but with a voice that, like every Taylor, is more evenly balanced across the entire tonal spectrum. Perhaps more than any other shape, the Dreadnought remains linked with roots music like bluegrass and folk, in part because of its traditional role in defining those sounds. Pickers and strummers with an aggressive attack will love our Dreadnoughts blend of power and articulation, which allows for clear lead lines and crisp, driving rhythms.OvangkolOrigin: Tropical West AfricaOver a decade ago, Taylor introduced the guitar world to a sustainable tonewood known as ovangkol. An African relative of rosewood, it's a great sounding wood that shares many of rosewood's tonal properties, with a slightly fuller midrange and a top end that's not quite as bright as maple. Being lesser known than rosewood, ovangkol has been a sleeper hit over the years, asserting itself as an instant contender among unsuspecting players who test-drive a variety of Taylor models.Expression SystemNatural Sound Made SimplePeople love the clear, full acoustic tone of their Taylors. Why should it be any different when they plug in? Thats why we spent several years developing the onboard acoustic pickup and preamp. Taylors ground-breaking Expression System (ES) was designed to naturally amplify the warm acoustic sound of your guitar.The ES is an all-magnetic acoustic guitar pickup system that works like a microphone to produce a pure signal and a warm, natural acoustic sound.

Taylor Ltd Grand Auditorium Cutaway Acoustic-Electric Guitar Coco/Sitka $3999.99 One of the heaviest, densest rosewoods around, Mexican cocobolo yields a bright, articulate voice. For the Taylor LTD Grand Auditorium Cutaway Acoustic-Electric Guitar, cocobolo was also incorporated visually into the inlays on the front of the guitars. A band of cocobolo trim traces the top, while the rosette motif features cocobolo as an S-curve that contrasts with buttery boxwood, a slow-growing wood with a density comparable to ebony. Boxwood was also used for a new Split Diamond fretboard inlay, which visually references the rosette's S-curve. Other wood-rich appointments include a cocobolo backstrap and figured maple binding. Tonally, cocobolo's density translates into a beautifully clear, bell-like tone, with a piano-like quality to the low notes.Taylor 2011 Fall limited edition modelGrand Auditorium body shapeCocobolo body woodSitka Spruce top woodNT neck jointMahogany neck woodEbony fretboardStandard Taylor Carve neck shapeEbony bridgeVolume, Bass, Treble controlsGotoh 510 tunersGold colored hardwareNatural finish |

Taylor 2012 12-Fretce Mahogany/Cedar Acoustic-Electric Guitar Natural $2899 The Taylor 2012 12-FRETce Mahogany/Cedar Acoustic-Electric Guitar is a Grand Concert that truly speaks for itself. As a result of joining the neck to the body at the 12th fret rather than the 14th and moving the bridge farther back on the soundboard, the guitar's tone sounds wonderfully aged right out of the case. The "modern vintage" voice blends warmth and depth on the low end with sparkling clarity and articulation, and yields surprising overall volume for a smaller body style. Two tonewood pairings are available: rosewood/spruce and mahogany/cedar.Grand Concert (GC)Body Width: 15" / Body Depth: 4-3/8" / Body Length: 19-1/2"A smaller bodied guitar ideally suited for fingerstyle.The small-body Grand Concert debuted in 1984 to meet the needs of a new wave of adventurous acoustic fingerstyle players. In contrast to the traditionally darker, boomier voices of bigger body styles like dreadnoughts and jumbos, the GCs compact size and tapered waist kept the overtones in check. It was also more comfortable to play while sitting down, and the guitars slightly wider neck gave players more room for complex fingerings. The GCs smaller sonic footprint also fit cleanly in a mix with other instruments when tracking in the studio and with a band on stage, making it a useful tool for professional session and side players. The current generation of GC models continues to accommodate fingerstylists with finger-friendly traits like a shorter 24-7/8-inch scale length, which makes fretting easier and adds a slightly slinkier feel on the strings due to the lighter string tension. If you feel more comfortable with a small body or favor controlled overtones, a Grand Concert is a great option.Tropical MahoganyOrigin: Central and South AmericaMahogany is a good wood to anchor a discussion of tones, as a lot of other wood tones can be described in relation to it. Its essential sonic profile is well represented in the midrange frequencies. Acoustic guitars in general tend to live in the midrange portion of the sound spectrum, but mahogany in particular displays a lot of midrange character. That thick, present midrange sound is sometimes described in guitar circles as meaty, organic or even chewy wherever a player digs in on the fretboard, theyre tapping into the core of the harmonic content of what a guitar produces. Those great midrange frequencies produce overtones that stack up and produce bloom, giving the sound extra girth. When one hears the resulting harmonics, the chewy tone serves up a big mouthful of midrange. As a popular tonewood for many decades, mahogany has been used on scads of old school acoustic recordings, and that sonic heritage carries across various strains of roots music, from blues to folk to slack key.Expression SystemNatural Sound Made SimplePeople love the clear, full acoustic tone of their Taylors. Why should it be any different when they plug in? Thats why Taylor spent several years developing their own onboard acoustic pickup and preamp. Tay |

Taylor 35Th-Anniversary Brazilian Rosewood Dreadnought Acoustic-Electric Guitar Natural $15999 The cutaway 35th-anniversary Brazilian Rosewood Dreadnought Acoustic-Electric Guitar marks a milestone in Taylor's history of crafting top-quality guitars. Brazilian rosewood's glorified status as a widely coveted but highly protected tonewood is well documented, so Taylor's ability to craft a limited edition series is in itself a cause for celebration. Arguably the pinnacle of Taylor's 35th anniversary commemorative collection, the Brazilian rosewood guitar series has received considerable attention from Bob Taylor. Bob hand-picked the sets from Taylor's ultra-limited Brazilian reserves and designed each guitar personally, based on the unique characteristics of each beautiful set of wood. Bob selected the top wood, bracing style, and binding of each guitar individually to complement the Brazilian rosewood used for each one. The commemorative dreadnought guitar boasts a deep and medium-sized body, creating a sound chamber that rings out in balanced harmony. Whether strumming on the rhythm, or getting wild on a barn-burning solo, the Taylor Brazilian rosewood dreadnought holds its own with clear, full-sounding projection that cuts through any mix. The guitar's cutaway offers comfort when accessing upper-register notes on the sturdy ebony fingerboard. The solid Adirondack spruce top and Solid Brazilian rosewood body produce crystal-clear tone, full range and volume - all with breathtaking looks. The Taylor NT neck joint creates a tight and sturdy bond, fastening the body to the tropical mahogany neck to produce an incredibly solid structure. The Taylor standard neck carve, 1-3/4" nut width, and 15" fretboard radius provide comfort when performing intricate movements across the guitar's 20 frets. At the heart of the 35th anniversary Taylor Brazilian rosewood guitar lies an impressive and intuitive electronics system that lets you dial in your ideal amplified sound. The Taylor Expression System (ES) delivers a tone that will satisfy the most demanding pro player, yet is simple enough for anyone to plug in and sound great. The ES incorporates three different magnetic sensors. Two strategically placed Dynamic Body Sensors affixed to the underside of the soundboard capture the complex nuances of the top's vibration, while a Dynamic String Sensor mounted beneath the fretboard extension registers string and neck vibration. The preamp boosts the pickup signal cleanly, without the need for artificial EQ coloration. The balanced, low-impedance signal the ES produces can run direct into a mixer or PA in most situations, and is free of distortion at almost any volume. Three simple onboard control knobs preserve the aesthetic beauty of this Taylor, allowing you to easily adjust the volume, bass, and treble to suit your personal preferences and performance environment. Dressed in an ultra-violet curved polyester finish, and featuring Gotoh 510 tuners and antique gold hardware, this rosewood Taylor guitar will make your jaw drop with every glance. Each |

Taylor Dave Matthews Signature Model Acoustic-Electric Guitar Natural $3999 Inspired by Dave Matthews' 914ce, the DMSM is an Indian rosewood/Sitka spruce Grand Auditorium guitar. A custom fretboard inlay blends elements of the popular "Cindy" inlay, which graces Dave Matthews' 914ce, with a design that pays tribute to the band's longtime sax player, LeRoi Moore, who passed away in 2008. Based on a sketch that Matthews provided, the acoustic electric guitar has a crown inlay between the 11th and 12th frets that honors Moore by incorporating ball-tipped points with one ball partially missing in his memory. A nickname of Moore's within the band, "Grux," is inlaid between the 13th and 18th frets. The headstock inlay also was developed from a sketch by Matthews. The guitar top was shaded with an aged toner to approximate the patina Matthews has on his older Taylor 914ce guitar. Each Dave Matthews Signature Model guitar comes with a custom guitar label and a certificate of authenticity, both personally signed by Matthews. About Dave Matthews Dave Matthews needs little introduction to fans of popular music. The lead singer, songwriter and guitarist of the Dave Matthews Band, Matthews and his musical brothers formed in Charlottesville, Virginia in the early '90s and quickly amassed a passionate following on the strength of their live shows. The band's unique sound, a bold, polyrhythmic stew of progressive Americana, was earthy yet intricate, jazzy and funky, informed as much by the sounds of African pop music as it was by American genres. At its core was Dave Matthews' distinctive acoustic guitar playing. Averse to open, "strummy" acoustic sounds, his percussive, self-styled approach incorporated closed chord voicings with two- and three-string shapes and a lot of string damping. Matthews' elliptical rhythmic patterns blended repetition with odd time signatures, creating an exotic and hypnotic presence within his songs. Together with drummer Carter Beauford's fusion-fueled syncopation, saxophonist LeRoi Moore's soulful horn lines, Boyd Tinsley's spirited violin work, bassist Stefan Lessard's fluid grooves, and Matthews' lilting, pliable vocal melodies, the DMB's arrangements and jammy interplay projected an exuberance that captivated crowds. The band has consistently been one of the most popular touring acts in the world for many years. It's fair to say that Matthews helped fuel a resurgence in acoustic roots rock in the mid-1990s, and inspired a fresh generation of young fans to pick up an acoustic guitar. By pursuing an intuitive approach to playing, Dave Matthews has managed to accomplish something that many highly skilled technical players rarely do: develop a sound that's truly his own. "I've never really looked at other people's guitar playing and said, 'Wow, I really want to know how to do that,'" he said in an interview with Taylor Guitars back in 2001. "I think it's a combination of the fact that I'm on my own trip and don't really think of myself as that much of a guitar player, and that I never compare my guitar p |

What is a good acoustic electric guitar similar to Taylor's Big Baby?
I love the Big Baby acoustic, but I am looking for an acoustic electric. Is there anything that is similar in sound and price? (500 dollars max)
The Taylor 110-E is a Big Baby with electronics. More like $650.00 though... http://www.musiciansfriend.com/product/Taylor-110E-Dreadnought-AcousticElectric-Guitar?sku=514895
If you really can't go over $500.00... you could do very well looking at Seagull, Ibanez or Fender, but you probably wouldn't end up with something that sounds quite as good as the Taylor unplugged. The Taylor does lack any preamp controls. You might be better off with something else if you play mostly plugged in.
