Not your Granddaddies dreadnought. This new take on a slope shouldered dread will blow your socks off. Round chamfered edges on the body make it feel surprisingly compact, while the mahogany and spruce combination provides a rich warm color pallet. V-Class bracing opens up the entire fretboard for enhanced sustain and volume.

“The torrefied spruce top really opens up how this grand pacific presents itself. Being a builders edition, all the stops were pulled in making this a really comfortable players guitar.” - Ian, Taylor Guitars Expert
