This non-cutaway Dreadnought blends a classic body style with the equally classic tonewood pairing of rosewood and spruce to offer players the quintessential acoustic workhorse guitar, especially for flatpickers and strummers looking for strong tonal output, good low-end growl, and strong, clear trebles. An easy-playing Taylor neck makes chord progressions and lead runs a breeze all the way up the fretboard, and the Expression System® 2 pickup captures the potent Dreadnought sound with appealing warmth and clarity. The guitar features Taylor’s Performance bracing, satin finish back and sides, a gloss top, and other standard 400 Series appointments, including Italian acrylic dot inlays, white binding, a 3-ring rosette, and Taylor nickel tuners. The guitars include a Special Edition label and ship in a Taylor deluxe hardshell case.
