With understated yet refined appointments, this East Indian rosewood Dreadnought, equipped with an Engelmann top, is the perfect example of the "gigging musician's all-purpose guitar."
700 Series
In the Taylor 700 Series, backs and sides of solid Indian rosewood find their perfect complement in rosewood binding, Hawaiian koa rosette, small pearl dots, and gold Taylor tuners. Rosewood's deep, rich tone meets its ideal counterpart in the spruce top, also available in a magnificent Tobacco Sunburst finish. It's a simple, elegant expression of classic acoustic guitar construction.
Woods
Top: Engelmann spruce
Back & sides: Indian rosewood
The warm, responsive tone of Engelmann spruce enhances the rich, full overtones of Indian rosewood.
Shape
Dreadnought
A traditional shape refined, we combine classic dreadnought volume and bass response with the definitive Taylor sound: clear trebles and an open, airy midrange that Bob Taylor's signature design accentuates. Recent re-voicing turns up the bass and volume even more. Dreadnoughts respond especially well to flatpicking or light-to-heavy strumming.

Inlays
Small Pearl Dots
Finish
Gloss
The finish used to create this guitar's lustrous gloss top, back, and sides was developed at Taylor for maximum durability and resistance to cold-checking. This ultra violet-cured finish is also more environmentally friendly than traditional lacquer finishes.
