The Taylor Custom Ovangkol Dreadnought is hand-braced by master luthier Andy Powers, using a Grand Orchestra bracing pattern of Adirondack spruce. A combination of parabolic and scalloped bracing, Grand Orchestra bracing, when applied to a dreadnought, gives you clarity, tonal balance, and punchy dynamics that are akin to the complexity and feel you'd expect from a small-bodied guitar. Of course, being a dreadnought, this guitar is a cannon when you dig in, so you get the best of both worlds with the Taylor Custom Ovangkol Dreadnought.

Sweetwater's guitar gurus hand selected the tonewoods for the Taylor Custom Ovangkol Dreadnought, and the results are spectacular! The sound of ovangkol topped with spruce is amazing! This luscious instrument features ovangkol back and sides that deliver the power and richness of rosewood, but with added clarity and projection, while the AA Sitka spruce top adds an alluring sparkle. This unique tonewood cocktail makes the Taylor Custom Ovangkol Dreadnought a great guitar for singer-songwriters, and the balanced sound make it perfect for recording!

Designed to faithfully reproduce your guitar's native tone, the Taylor Custom Ovangkol Dreadnought's Expression System uses patented Dynamic Sensors to capture both top and string vibration with incredible detail. The Taylor ES system was created in partnership with renowned audio pioneer Rupert Neve. Unlike standard onboard electronics, the Taylor Expression System is seamlessly integrated into the design of the guitar from the ground up. Onboard tone controls provide added flavor, or can be set flat for an uncolored, exceptionally clean amplified sound.

The Taylor Custom Ovangkol Dreadnought's lustrous gloss finish was developed at Taylor for maximum durability and resistance to cold-checking. This ultraviolet-cured finish is also more environmentally friendly than traditional lacquer finishes. You can rest assured that your Custom Ovangkol Dreadnought's luscious finish will look just as great years from now as it does today.
