You'll notice that the Taylor 810 boasts exceptionally vibrant tones with a unique character. Taylor went back to the drawing board and redesigned their bracing patterns, to get the optimum response out of each of their iconic body shapes. Taylor even added side bracing to add rigidity to the sides and enhance top and back movement. In the words of luthier Andy Powers, the updated Advanced Performance bracing pattern gives the updated 810 a "nice, cushy swell and long sustain, even with a delicate touch."
Exceptional tone, volume, and balance thanks to custom-tailored wood thicknessOne of the things we like best about Taylor at Sweetwater is that their various body styles are designed for specific purposes, allowing you to choose a guitar that's the perfect match for your style. With the 810, Taylor takes that to another level by carefully matching the thickness of the spruce top and rosewood back and sides to the body style. They determined what the optimum wood thickness for the 810's dreadnought body would be, to give you maximum tone and light weight while also being equally strong.
Stronger construction and more open, vibrant tone thanks to fish protein glueWith the 810, Taylor has returned to real animal protein glue (fish, in fact) instead of synthetic glue. Luthiers have been using protein glues for centuries for their incredible strength, and also for their tone. Protein glue optimizes transfer of vibrations and also holds amazingly well, which means you're sure to get a lifetime of fantastic tone from the Taylor 810 dreadnought acoustic guitar.
