A traditional shape refined, it combines classic dreadnought volume and bass response with the definitive Taylor sound: clear trebles and an open, airy midrange that Bob Taylor's signature design accentuates. Dreadnoughts respond especially well to flatpicking or light-to-heavy strumming. A Venetian cutaway adds dimension to classic Dreadnought styling, while the distinctive tone of African mahogany is faithfully amplified via the Taylor Expression System.
