"Affordable Excellence"
I played this guitar out of curiosity at a local shop. It was new and i Iove dreadnought acoustic guitars. This guitar is a wonderful fingerstyle or flat pic acoustic. It played and sounded better than others costing 3x the price. This is the best guitar at this price point period! If you are a beginner or intermediate level player, do yourself a favour and buy this guitar. Especially beginners need a guitar that's easy to play and reward's you with a quality tone. This guitar delivers Taylor exceptional quality at an unheard of price.
