Overview
An aspiring classical or fingerstyle player gets a nylon-string Taylor with a torrefied spruce top and walnut back and sides. The slender neck is comfortable from head to heel, and built-in electronics send the sound out from couch to concert stage.
Grand Auditorium proportions give the body the width and depth of a dreadnought while the tapered waist makes it look smaller and adds balance. The result is a rich nylon voice with a punchy attack and a touch of aged-in warmth. The limitation is a listing that names the electronics model two ways.
Who it's for
Players who want nylon-string tone from the living room to the concert stage and appreciate a slim neck. Steel-string players, or anyone needing a truly compact body, will find the shape larger than it looks.
Pros and cons
- Rich, punchy, balanced nylon voice
- Slender Taylor neck comfortable head to heel
- Torrefied spruce top adds aged-in warmth
- Structured gig bag included
- Electronics model named two ways
- Body is large despite the tapered look
Performance notes
Torrefied spruce on the soundboard delivers a punchy attack with warmth and depth, the quality the maker describes as aged-in. The wide, deep body supplies the volume, and the tapered waist trims the visual size and adds balance. Plugged in, the signal leaves through the quarter inch mono plug.
