- • V-Class bracing significantly enhances volume and sustain compared to traditional bracing patterns.
- • Taylor ES2 pickup system offers surprisingly natural amplified tone with useful onboard EQ controls.
- • Rosewood can make the guitar more sensitive to humidity changes, requiring diligent care.
