Frequently Asked Questions
It’s sweeter and more focused than a typical full-size Taylor, lacking some of the broader resonance, but still retaining that characteristic Taylor clarity.
The maple neck has a comfortable Taylor profile, but the shorter scale length might feel a little cramped for players with very large hands.
The included D’Addario XSAPB strings are a good starting point; experiment with lighter gauge strings for even easier playability, and change them every 3-6 months depending on playing frequency.
