800 SERIES
The flagship series of the Taylor acoustic/electric line traces back to Bob
Taylor’s first rosewood guitars, which helped establish a modern acoustic
guitar sound. Contemporary appointments include curly maple binding and a
pearl fretboard inlay, which together add a splash of refined style. For a more
vintage look, opt for a tobacco sunburst top.

700 SERIES
Besides the clean, understated appointment scheme, our 700 Series
rosewood guitars are set apart from other rosewood models by the
choice of either an Engelmann spruce or cedar top. Engelmann features a
creamier complexion, with a slightly more aged tone than Sitka, and accommodates fairly aggressive playing, while the softer cedar has a
darker look and yields the kind of warmth that fingerstylists and other
players with a light-to-medium touch will love.
