Taylor Guitars

We stock Taylors in a great variety of body sizes and styles ranging in size from Jumbo (larger than a Dreadnaught) down to the Baby Taylor.

Doyle Dykes Deluxe DDX The Doyle Dykes Deluxe is the latest in the Taylor Doyle Dykes Signature Series. More affordable than the DDSM model, the DDX is a Grand Auditorium instrument with a 25-1/2 inch scale length (longer than the DDSM) and relatively narrow 1-11/16 nut. It is constructed of laminate maple sides and back with a solid Sitka spruce top. It comes eqiupped with the Taylor under-saddle ES-T® pickup. This is an exceptionally playable guitar, exceeding even Taylor's well-deserved reputation for producing instruments that almost play themselves. The action is very low (yet without fret buzz) and the neck has a fantastic feel. The DDX is truly striking in its gloss black finish with white banding and inlays. You are guaranteed to turn heads with this guitar!

514ce The 514ce is one of our most popular Taylor models. Grand Auditorium shape. Tropical mahogany back and sides, western red cedar top. Taylor Espression System. The combination of mahogany and cedar gives a nice mellow warmth. This is a very expressive guitar that works especially well for fingerstyle players.

GA3 The GA3 is a Grand Auditorium size instrument with a 1-3/4 inch nut. All solid wood construction with sapele back and sides and spruce top. We custom order this model with a pickguard, which is not standard on the GA3. With its 1-3/4 inch nut, the GA3 works well for both flatpicking and fingerstyle. This is an affordable all solid wood instrument with the characteristic 'sweet' Taylor sound.

416ce The 416ce is a new model in the Taylor line. It has a Grand Symphony body shape with a cutaway. The back and sides are ovangkol, with a spruce top, and is equipped with Expression System electronics. This instrument has a nice big, clear sound. It is a versatile guitar, good for both strumming and fingerpicking.

814ce We stock the Taylor 814ce as a custom model with a sunburst top and 1-7/8 inch nut. The back and sides are rosewood with a spruce top. The maple binding on the body and neck contrasts nicely with the rosewood. This instrument looks, sounds and feels beautiful. It is one of Taylor's (and The Minor Chord's) best-selling guitars.

910 Taylor's flagship model. This instrument has sound, body, and playability. High grade Indian rosewood back and sides with a Sitka spruce top. Stunning Cindy inlay, Gotoh tuners. Very nice crisp, loud sound. Taylor has stopped producing the 910, so this is one of the last new ones left!

GS7e Indian rosewood back and sides, the cedar top adds a nice mellow warmth to the sound of the guitar. Abalone rosette, Taylor Expression System pickup. A good strumming guitar or a nice loud fingerstyle instrument.

GS6 Beautiful flamed maple back and sides, sitka spruce top. Maple is usually very bright but the Grand Symphony shape warms the sound up quite a bit. A great guitar if you are a singer/songwriter.

GC8 This is our most popular small-bodied Taylor. Indian rosewood back and sides, sitka spruce top. Surprisingly loud, balanced tone for a small guitar. The slotted headstock gives it a cool look as well. Easy playability with the short scale neck and small body. Great for anyone who needs a comfortable guitar or a beginner who wants a nice smooth-playing first guitar.

DN3 The DN3 is an all solid wood Dreadnought. Sapele back and sides. Sitka spruce top. Ebony fingerboard and bridge. 1-3/4 inch nut. We special-order this model with the pickguard, which is not standard on the DN3. The Taylor DN3 is a full-sounding Taylor guitar and one of our best selling instruments. It's Taylor's most affordable all-solid-wood guitar with a sound and feel that will not disappoint you.

110 Taylor's most affordable full-sized Dreadnaught. Laminate mahogany back and sides. Solid Sitka spruce top. Ebony fingerboard lends itself to smooth playability. If you want the Taylor sound and feel but are shopping on a budget, this is the right guitar for you.

110ce The 110ce is built to the same specifications as the Taylor 110 but with a cutaway body style and Taylor's ES-T pickup system.

114 Comfortable Grand Auditorium shape. Laminate mahogany back and sides. Solid Sitka spruce top. Ebony bridge and fingerboard. This is a great guitar if you are on a budget or if you looking for a good finger-style instrument.

114ce The 114ce is built to the same specifications as the Taylor 114 but with a cutaway body style and Taylor's ES-T® pickup system.

310ce All solid wood Dreadnaught with sapele sides and back and Sitka spruce top. Includes the Taylor Expression System. The 310ce delivers tons of sound. This guitar will stand up to heavy strumming and can deliver the volume and intensity you need in live performance.

314ce This is one of our most popular Taylor acoustic-electric models. Very comfortable Grand Auditorium shape. All solid wood construction with sapele sides and back and Sitka spruce top. Includes Taylor Expression System. Smooth playing ebony fingerboard. This is a great all-around versatile guitar for both strumming and finger-style playing.

GA3-12 Have you tried to play a 12-string guitar and found it too difficult? The Taylor GA3-12 is not that guitar! Uncompromising Taylor playability makes this one of the smoothest 12-strings you'll ever play. All solid wood construction with sapele sides and back, Sitka spruce top. This guitar has a nice low action, especially compared to most 12-strings.

NS32ce Taylor's nylon series guitars are a nice combination of traditional and modern guitar building. This instrument is Grand Concert size with sapele back and sides and Sitka spruce top. The nut width is 1-7/8 inches, which is a shade narrower than the traditional 2-inch classical nut. For a guitarist used to steel-string instruments, this makes for an easier transition to a classical style guitar. The cutaway, unusual for classical guitars, gives easier access higher up the neck. Includes Taylor ES-N piezo pickup system.

GS-Mini Taylor's hot new fractional-size guitar. New Taylor NT neck design, solid Sitka spruce top, ebony bridge and fingerboard. The GS-Mini is a scaled-down version of the Taylor Grand Symphony shape. It is surprisingly loud for a small instrument, with a warm sound. If you are looking for a travel guitar or a smaller instrument but want a neck closer to the size of a standard guitar, the GS-Mini is a great choice. You can easily add the optional Taylor ES-Go magnetic soundhole pickup for acoustic-electric playing. The ES-Go V-cable allows you to control your volume right on the cable. The ES-Go pickup includes an iPhone audio interface that allows you to record anywhere.
