Like the 200 Series, the sapele 100 Series incorporates layered back and sides, which offer extra resilience to fluctuating climate conditions, and a slightly narrower 1 11/16-inch neck. It?s one of the best full-size guitars you?ll find for the money, especially with Taylor?s ES-Të pickup. It makes a viable performance tool, a great entry-level guitar, or a second utility guitar for alternate tunings.
Taylor?s refined take on the classic Dreadnought shape produces a robust voice with low-end power, a snappy midrange, and strong, clear treble notes, retaining the essence of the balanced Taylor sound. The guitar will appeal to flatpickers and lovers of traditional guitar shapes and tones.
The single-source, under-saddle transducer features individual elements for each string, an onboard preamp, and the same active controls as the full ES. It?s powered by a 9-volt battery, with a battery life LED power indicator. A Phase switch for feedback control is located on the preamp board inside the soundhole.
