Description
With its layered Indian rosewood back and sides and solid Sitka spruce top, this 200 Series Dreadnought offers all the power and punch of its traditionalist body shape with the inimitable Taylor twist of clarity and balance. The larger body generates plenty of low-end warmth and projection, while the solid top brings articulation and a crisp high end that make it a good choice for all styles of music, whether you’re practicing at home or building your career as a musician. Upgraded appointments for this Plus model include black binding, a glossy finish, and Taylor nickel tuners. It ships with ES2 electronics and a Venetian cutaway in a new Aerocase™ designed to deliver lightweight damage protection when you transport your guitar.
