Grand Auditorium
This flagship shape offers comfort and cross-genre utility, with a clear, balanced tone suited for both fingerstyle and strumming.
Big Leaf Maple
Though mostly known as a body wood, maple offers a dry, midrange-centric tone profile when used as a soundboard.
Action Control Neck
Building on Taylor’s legacy of easy-playing necks, the new Action Control Neck pairs a long-tenon joint for added warmth and depth with a patented system for effortless string height adjustment.
Spruce
The most common top wood between Sitka, Adirondack and Engelmann varieties. Bold, clear, and dynamic sound suits any playing style.
The Claria Acoustic Pickup System
Developed with extensive input from touring artists and live sound engineers, Taylor’s new Claria™ System reimagines the under-saddle piezo pickup to deliver consistent plug-and-play acoustic tone in any setting.
Venetian Cutaway
The Venetian cutaway is known for its soft, round lines. The sloping peak of the cutaway will vary depending on the shape of the body.
