Tuning stability is guaranteed by the TusQ zero-fret string attachment in the ebony headstock and chrome-plated Taylor die-cast mechanics. The stylish look of the instrument is punctuated by traditional elements in the form of a pickguard made of imitation tortoiseshell, a bright perimeter body binding, a rosette composed of three black and white rings and an ebony veneer on the headstock decorated with the Taylor logo.
This is a completely unique pickup method that takes the possibilities of realistic sound reproduction to unprecedented dimensions. Three specially designed independent piezo pickups located behind the fingerboard are used for pickups. Unlike conventional pickups, they do not sense the up and down movement of the board, but the natural back and forth vibration of the grasshopper seat. This makes the sound much more natural, colourful, pleasing and responsive to the dynamics of the playing. The new preamp also makes the signal 25% stronger. Of course, feedback is eliminated and the volume, bass and treble can be adjusted.
The guitar comes in a gig bag.
The American company Taylor is famous for producing acoustic guitars that are very well crafted and offer top sound. The 200 series instruments are manufactured in the Tecate, Mexico factory, but this does not detract from the quality. Tecate is only a few dozen kilometres away from EL Cajon in California, so production is properly controlled.
