Its rare sinker redwood top and Hawaiian koa back and sides produce a complex tone with shimmering highs, a focused midrange and balanced low end.

The ES2 pickup system captures the nuances of your playing for a true acoustic sound through amplifiers or recording equipment.

Rare, responsively toned tonewoods

The guitar's sinker redwood top provides a clear, focused tone with shimmering highs, while its figured Hawaiian koa back and sides add warmth and depth. These visually stunning woods are crafted into an ergonomic grand auditorium body ideal for strumming and fingerpicking.

V-Class bracing for enhanced sonic performance

Taylor's revolutionary V-Class bracing optimizes the guitar's resonance for greater volume, longer sustain and improved intonation. Its innovative design allows the instrument to produce notes that sound purer, louder and more consistent across the fingerboard.

Professional-grade ES2 electronics

The ES2 pickup system accurately captures the nuances of your playing for natural tone when plugged in. Its behind-the-saddle pickup features three individually calibrated sensors to convey the full depth and dynamics of your performance through amplifiers or recording equipment.

Premium components for lifelong playability

The guitar is equipped with premium components like genuine West African ebony bridge and fingerboard, bone nut and saddle and gold Gotoh tuners. These high-quality parts provide a smooth playing feel and help the instrument stay in tune and intonate accurately for years to come.
