Frequently Asked Questions
The Sapele provides a warmer, more focused tone; less overt high-end shimmer than rosewood, but more fundamental richness and clarity.
Yes, Taylor’s thermal treatment process creates a very durable and stable surface that resists wear and doesn’t require oiling.
Being limited to 1974 pieces, it’s quite exclusive. While Taylor generally supports their instruments, specific components from a limited run might be harder to source down the line.
