Dreadnought
Taylors most traditional body design has been continuously refined over the years to create a clearer, more balanced sound to go with its ultra-playable neck. Retaining a traditional X-bracing framework, Taylors Dreadnought body shape provides a robust modern vintage voice with low-end power, a snappy midrange, and punchy trebles, for a traditional look and sound that responds especially well to flatpicking and a strong attack.
