Product Details

Meet the all-new 100 and 200 Series: Premium guitars that will change your expectations about what a serious entry-level instrument can embody. Featuring solid Sitka spruce tops and either laminated Sapele or Indian rosewood back and sides, both series deliver the quality sound and feel you’d expect from a Taylor. Now available with Taylor’s new Under-Saddle Transducer pickup, Taylor's raising the bar on their “basic” guitars.
Tone and playability are hallmarks of Taylor guitars, and you’ll find the 100 Series® delivers plenty of each. Sporting a solid Sitka spruce top and Sapele laminate back and sides, the redesigned 100 Series now features both Dreadnought and Grand Auditorium shapes, along with cutaway and Taylor electronics options. Value, yes. Compromise, no.
Woods - Sitka Spruce/Sapele Laminate
The warm tone and open midrange of Sapele balances the bright and snappy characteristics of a Sitka spruce top. The resulting combination provides the perfect guitar for a strong, rhythmically playing styles.
• Sitka Spruce (top)- "Picea sitchensis"
Sitka Spruce grows in a coastal "pocket" from Northern California to Alaska. This dense, straight-grained wood has the highest strength and elasticity-to-weight ratio among available tonewoods, an attribute that makes it an ideal material not only for Taylor's soundboards, but for Tyalor's internal bracing, as well. Sitka produces a slightly brighter tone than does Engelmann.
• Sapele Laminate (back & sides) - "Entandrophragma cylindricum"
This exceptional, mahogany-like wood grows throughout the tropical rain forests of Nigeria and the Ivory Coast of Africa. Ever since we introduced it in 1998, its legion of fans has grown exponentially. As a tonewood, it's denser and harder than mahogany, so it has a crisper, clearer, brighter, "pop"-ier sound than its more familiar counterpart. Loud and robust, with a lovely ribboned grain, Sapele has been used by Spanish guitar makers for many years.
Shape - Grand Auditorium (GA)
Introduced in 1994 to commemorate Taylor’s 20th Anniversary, the Grand Auditorium would go on to establish itself as a definitive Bob Taylor original. Tonally, the guitar embodied the qualities of balance, clarity, and versatility that became hallmark Taylor traits. Visually, the shape gave the world an equally balanced and refined aesthetic of smooth curves. In both respects, the GA was at once big enough and small enough to cover a lot of ground.
The GA has the width and depth of a Dreadnought, but its tapered waist and contours give it the appearance of a smaller instrument, making it comfortable to play. The tonal balance means it’s full in the lower register, present in the midrange, and sparkling on the treble strings.
Electronics - Taylor's ES-T™
Inspired by Taylor's Expression System technology, the Expression System Transducer, or ES-T™, is a single-source, under-saddle transducer with individual elements for each string. (The ES-T was originally called the ES Element, but the name was changed to avoid confusion with another product.) The ES-T has an onboard preamp and the same active controls found on the full Expression System. Featuring a custom-voiced EQ and dynamic response, the system is powered by a 9-volt battery, with a battery life LED power indicator (which is lit when the battery is being used). The pickup also has a Phase switch for feedback control, which is located on the preamp board inside the soundhole.
Finish - Varnish Satin with Gloss Top
A durable varnish finish offers protection, good looks, and a smooth feel to the touch.
