Featuring a solid Sitka spruce top and laminated sapele back and sides.

Such is the case with sapele laminate, in which we use interior and exterior veneers of sapele with a filler layer between them. One of the benefits of laminates for guitars is extra resilience in the face of fluctuating humidity conditions. This comes in handy for guitars like the GS Mini and Baby Taylor models, which are travel-friendly guitars that may be more directly exposed to different environments. All Taylor laminate models do feature a solid wood top to optimize the tonal response.Grand Auditorium (GA)The GA is Taylors most versatile and popular shape, excelling at light-touch fingerstyle to full-blown strumming. Great for micing and recording, the GAs balanced mid-range and bright tone exemplify the Taylor voice.Comfortable Grand Auditorium body sizeSolid spruce top for great toneSmooth ebony fingerboardTUSQ nut and saddle for improved sustainIncludes Taylor gig bag |

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.

With that as a starting point, Taylors David Hosler led the team responsible for the Expression System's breakthrough technology.

can anyone help with my taylor acoustic guitar?
i have a taylor model 412 acoustic and the bridge has pulled away slightly from the sound board and i'm losing tone and playability. HELP!
Andy, there are a few things that could be causing the problem, and all are fixable. Regardless of where you take it to be repaired, make sure that a decent, qualified guitar technician will be doing the work. Insist on the work being done on premise, meaning that the tech works at the place you take it. Otherwise, they transport, or ship the guitar to where it's repaired, and goodness only knows what happens to it during the shipment back. There would be no one there to inspect for shipping problems once it arrived, and no one there to fix anything that had occurred during transport. You owe yourself the best when it comes to your guitar; isn't that why you bought that model in the first place?
