Pairing a Sitka spruce top with layered maple, these guitars generate clear, punchy acoustic sounds and respond to a broad spectrum of tonal colors—from warm to bright—according to the nuances of a player's attack.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eDreadnought\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTaylor’s most traditional body design has been continuously refined over the years to create a clearer, more balanced sound to go with its ultra-playable neck. Retaining a traditional X-bracing framework, Taylor’s Dreadnought body shape provides a robust “modern vintage” voice with low-end power, a snappy midrange, and punchy trebles, for a traditional look and sound that responds especially well to flatpicking and a strong attack.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eQ: Does a cutaway diminish a guitar’s tonal output? \u003cbr\u003eA:\u003c\/b\u003e Not in a discernible way. We recommend you decide based on whether you want that extra upper-fretboard range; or, if you simply have an aesthetic preference—either for a more traditional, symmetrical look of a non-cutaway, or in favor of the sleek, more modern contouring that the cutaway offers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eScale Length:\u003c\/b\u003e 25-1\/2\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNut \u0026amp; Saddle: \u003c\/b\u003eTusq Nut\/Micarta Saddle\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBracing: \u003c\/b\u003eX Bracing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTruss Rod Cover:\u003c\/b\u003e Black Plastic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePickguard: \u003c\/b\u003eBlack\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNumber of Frets:\u003c\/b\u003e 20\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTuners: \u003c\/b\u003eDie-Cast Chrome\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCase: \u003c\/b\u003eTaylor Deluxe Hardshell\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBody Length:\u003c\/b\u003e 20\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBody Width:\u003c\/b\u003e 16\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBody Depth:\u003c\/b\u003e 4 5\/8\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding\/Edge Treatment:\u003c\/b\u003e White\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTop Finish:\u003c\/b\u003e Gloss\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBack Config:\u003c\/b\u003e Layered\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBackstrap Finish:\u003c\/b\u003e None\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRosette Size:\u003c\/b\u003e Single Ring\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBridge Inlay:\u003c\/b\u003e None\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBack\/Side Finish:\u003c\/b\u003e Gloss\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eArmrest Binding:\u003c\/b\u003e None\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBackstrap Wood:\u003c\/b\u003e None\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRosette Mat.:\u003c\/b\u003e Faux Pearl\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eStain\/Sunburst:\u003c\/b\u003e Black\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWedge:\u003c\/b\u003e None\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eArmrest:\u003c\/b\u003e No\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNeck Width: \u003c\/b\u003e1-7\/8\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFretboard Inlay: \u003c\/b\u003eSmall Diamonds\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFretboard Binding\/Edge Treatment: \u003c\/b\u003eNone\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eHeel Cap Binding: \u003c\/b\u003eWhite\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eType of Neck Joint: \u003c\/b\u003eScarf\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNeck\/Heel:\u003c\/b\u003e Hard Rock Maple\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFretboard Wood: \u003c\/b\u003eWest African Ebony\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNeck Finish:\u003c\/b\u003e Gloss\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eHeel Length:\u003c\/b\u003e 3-1\/2\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePeghead Finish:\u003c\/b\u003e None\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePeghead Binding:\u003c\/b\u003e None\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePeghead Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Standard\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePeghead Purfling: \u003c\/b\u003eNone\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eHeadstock Overlay: \u003c\/b\u003eWest African Ebony\u003cbr\u003ePeghead Inlay: None\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePeghead Logo:\u003c\/b\u003e Taylor Colorcore\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBridge Pins:\u003c\/b\u003e Black\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eButtons:\u003c\/b\u003e Chrome\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFingerboard Ext:\u003c\/b\u003e None\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eEdge Trim:\u003c\/b\u003e None","brand":"Taylor","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":33930138091655,"sku":"F200100111006063001","price":2539.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0343\/4368\/2183\/products\/taylor-acoustic-guitars-12-string-taylor-250ce-blk-deluxe-12-string-dreadnought-sitka-maple-black-es2-f200100111006063001-17218196177031.jpg?v=1646591540","url":"https:\/\/www.chicagomusicexchange.com\/en-ca\/products\/taylor-250ce-blk-deluxe-12-string-dreadnought-sitkamaple-942637","provider":"Chicago Music Exchange","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
