Dreadnought fans craving an easy-playing option are bound to love the soft feel of the 24-7/8-inch-scale-length neck featured on the cutaway 310ce. Strummers and flatpickers will love the clear projection and top-end brightness of the solid sapele/Sitka spruce tonewood pairing, while the Dreadnought body’s wide waist produces a strong low end and focused midrange. Aesthetic details include black binding, a black pickguard, Italian acrylic small diamond fretboard inlays, and satin-finish back and sides with a gloss top. The guitar comes performance-ready with Taylor’s Expression System 2 pickup, and ships in a Taylor deluxe hardshell case.

Fans of Hawaiian koa will love the look, feel and sound of this all-koa Grand Auditorium. A shaded edgeburst elevates the vintage appeal of the solid koa top, which is paired with layered koa back and sides, while a gloss finish wraps the body in a rich sheen. The Grand Auditorium’s musical versatility makes this a great all-purpose guitar for both strumming and fingerpicking, and the hardwood koa top will even out a lively attack to produce a focused, linear voice. Player-friendly modern features include a cutaway and Taylor’s ES2 acoustic electronics. Among the distinctive appointments are a single-ring faux pearl rosette in an interlocking "fishbone" pattern, black binding, Italian acrylic small diamond inlays, and chrome tuners. The guitar ships in a Taylor deluxe hardshell case.

1995 doesn't seem that long ago does it? To me anyway, it feels like maybe four years ago. It's 23 years! Wow, 23 years, and I don't even want to think what that is in dog years. We have a 1995 Taylor 615 jumbo. Hardcore Taylor fans will consider this a vintage guitar. We really like this guitar; everybody here in the shop that is. It sounds awesome. The maple back and sides are highly figured. Really beautiful flame. The frets are fine, showing very little wear. The action is low and fast. There are signs of playing wear on mostly on the top of the guitar. Some dings, but nothing major. No cracks or splits. Overall the condition is very good. Remember it is 23 years old. For such a big bodied guitar it weighs next to nothing, and you can feel the thing vibrating the second you take it from the case. It's opened up beautifully, and there is definitely an "older", more forthright Americana sound emitting from this guitar than its more contemporary siblings. It has a playability that is much easier than a Gibson or Guild jumbo. It's loud and punchy, with string separation and all-over articulation that is significantly more pronounced than the new Gibson J-35 and J-45s we've played of late, which may be a good or a bad thing depending on your tastes. Has an active Fishman under saddle pickup. Overall it's great guitar, almost vintage, great playing and sounding, at a great price. Comes with original hard shell case.

Have you ever heard "Good Times Bad Times" by the Stones? Not to be confused with the great Zep tune. It is a workout on the acoustic 12-string, played beautifully by Keith. Hey, stop what you're doing and listen to it. You back? Good. Ain't that something? I love the 12-string acoustic. The sound is phenomenal. I wish more people would use it. It really adds another dimension to music. Anyway, this Taylor 360e 12-String is a wonderful example of a killer 12-string. Fantastic 12-String sound! A phenomenal guitar at a great price.

From Taylor:
The wood pairing of blackwood and mahogany on the Taylor 360e yields a smooth response that promises to deliver a bold and balanced sound with a thick shimmer across the middle register. The slightly broader waist of Taylor's Dreadnought shape helps bring out the lower midrange frequencies. On a 12-string, it generates a thick, husky midrange power that complements the crispness and shimmer of the octave strings. A shaded edgeburst adds a tasteful vintage look to the rich-grained mahogany top. Additional appointments include a black pickguard, Italian acrylic small diamond fretboard inlays, black binding with crisp white top trim, a 3-ring rosette, and satin finish.

Hawaiian koa’s captivating beauty is matched by a tone that blossoms over time, especially in the midrange. Its voice is bright and focused, with warm overtones that slowly emerge, adding sweetness and depth. Premium all-wood appointments, led by the Island Vine fretboard inlay, celebrate the wood’s natural appeal.
