700 series
This year our 700 Series assumes a distinctly
Americana persona, suggesting a Taylor
guitar transported from another era. A dark,
gradually fading sunburst top inspired by the
acoustic guitars of the 1930s pairs well with
mocha-hued rosewood back and sides, while
ivoroid inlays and binding honor a traditional
guitar material. Unlike the 800 and 900 Series,
these guitars come standard with Engelmann
spruce tops, which tend to be slightly softer
than Sitka. The resulting sound blends spruce’s
overall clarity with a slightly warmer, mellower
character. The subtle overtones add a splash of
extra richness that suits a vintage personality.
