The front of the guitar is made of solid tropical mahogany, while the back and sides are also made of solid Tasmanian blackwood. This combination gives the guitar a warm and dynamic response. The mahogany neck, attached to the body at the fourteenth fret, is joined by an ebony fingerboard embellished with ornate inlays in the shape of small imitation mother-of-pearl diamonds. Thanks to the longer baritone menorah and the tuning from H, the strings offer standard tension, so there is no need to worry about heavy overtones, faster finger fatigue, etc. The instrument's impressive appearance is accentuated by the Shaded Edge Burst finish on the soundboard, black body binding complemented by black and white lines and a handy black pickguard.
The guitar is equipped with high-quality company electronics. The Taylor Expression System 2 uses three specially designed independent piezo pickups located behind the fingerboard. Unlike conventional pickups, they do not sense the up and down movement of the board, but the natural back and forth vibration of the fingerboard. This makes the sound much more natural, colourful and pleasing, and more responsive to the dynamics of your playing. At the same time, the new preamp makes the signal 25% stronger. Of course, feedback is eliminated and you can adjust the volume, bass and treble.
The instrument comes in a luxurious Taylor case.
The guitar is part of the 300 series, which brings together quality all-mass instruments made in El Cajon, California.
