The front of the guitar is made of carefully selected solid Sitka spruce, while the sides and back are made of solid Indian rosewood. Patented V-Class ribbing enhances the guitar's performance in three aspects - increasing the instrument's volume, extending sustain and improving intonation. The mahogany neck is glued to an ebony fingerboard fitted with twenty frets. The strings are attached via a micarta saddle fret and graphite zero fret in an ebony fingerboard and company tuning machines.
Sound pickup is handled by the Taylor Expression System 2. This is a completely unique pickup method that takes the possibilities of realistic sound reproduction to unprecedented dimensions. Three specially designed independent piezoelectric 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 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.
