About Taylor Acoustic Guitars


Innovative design. Premium sound. Effortless playability. Groundbreaking sustainability. These are the pillars on which Taylor acoustic guitars have built their stellar reputation.


More than 40 years ago, founders Bob Taylor and Kurt Listug, now joined by Master Guitar Designer Andy Powers, began to push the boundaries of what an acoustic guitar could achieve. Decades later, Taylor continues to push the envelope with each new release.


Are you ready to join the thousands of artists who have found their muse in a Taylor acoustic? Whether you’re chasing the perfect studio tone or you need a reliable companion for your live performances, Taylor acoustic guitars deliver the sound and quality you’ve been missing — from the bedroom to the stage.


Taylor Acoustics: Setting the Stage Since 1974


Before Taylor guitars entered the scene, traditional acoustics had a reputation for sounding dark and being difficult to play — tools suited for folk-singer solo acts with dragon scales for calluses and fingers forged from wrought iron.


But for Bob and Kurt, both accomplished luthiers and guitarists, a better acoustic guitar had to be within reach, and in 1974, they stumbled on the recipe that would make Taylor acoustic guitars a household name. These guitars became world-famous for their brilliant tone and electric-like low action that even beginning players and young songwriters could master in no time.


What Features Define Taylor Acoustic Guitars?


When it comes to acoustic guitars, Taylor is a name that resonates with musicians worldwide. Here are some features that have come to define the brand throughout the years:


  • The Taylor Neck — the gold standard for acoustic guitar playability, the Taylor Neck boasts a patented heel joint that allows for ultra-low action and significantly reduced hand fatigue.
  • Expression System (ES) electronics — Taylor’s ES, ES2, and ES-Go onboard pickup systems are game-changers for live performers and recording artists alike. These advanced electronics capture the natural character of your Taylor acoustic guitar and inject it directly into a sound system or a recording console, ensuring your acoustic voice remains front and center.
  • V-Class bracing — this innovative V-shaped bracing design allows Taylor acoustic guitar tops to resonate enharmonically with string vibrations, reducing note interference and helping chords to sound more “in-tune” up and down the neck.
  • Innovative body styles — Taylor offers a variety of body styles to suit every acoustic player’s needs. Fan favorites include everything from the classic Grand Concert and Grand Auditorium to the more modern Grand Pacific and Grand Theater.
  • Sustainable initiatives — Taylor’s commitment to greatness doesn’t stop at guitar design. Its reforestation projects of Hawaiian koa and its dedicated Cameroon ebony mill help ensure that these precious tonewoods stick around for generations of musicians and instrument makers to come, all while bringing the finest ethically sourced and sustainably managed exotics to Taylor’s first-class acoustic guitars.
