This model expands the line of instruments featuring the patented V-Class ribbing design. This design improves the guitar's performance in three aspects - increasing the instrument's volume, extending sustain and improving intonation.
The all-solid body of the guitar is made of tropical mahogany. The mahogany neck is fitted with an ebony fingerboard with 20 frets and decorative inlays (position markers) made of imitation ivory (ivoroid). The lower body cutaway (venetian cutaway) allows for good matching even at higher fretboard positions.
The strings are mounted in the company's tuning machines and an ebony fingerboard over the saddle and TusQ zero fret. The high-end workmanship is highlighted by the Shaded Edge Burst finish on the soundboard, imitation tortoiseshell binding, a rosette consisting of imitation tortoiseshell and ivory rings and the company logo on the headstock.
The guitar is fitted 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 deluxe carrying case.
