Manufacturer's Description for Taylor DN4 Dreadnought Acoustic Guitar (with Case)

The heralded Dreadnought is the most traditional of all acoustics. By definition, it's a battleship of a guitar and our DN Series pays tribute to that legacy -- and then some. Taylor's Dreadnought's booming bass and articulate mids dare you to dig in and challenge your flatpicking prowess.

The look and tone of Taylor's Ovangkol/Sitka Spruce acoustic guitar combination rival almost any other in the high-end guitar world. Yet their ability to affordably source this beautiful, Rosewood-like tonewood keeps it decidedly within reach. zZounds is an authorized dealer of Taylor products.

zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us. "I absolutely love my Taylor!!"

Sound: The sound is phenomenal. I am an intermediate player who upgraded from an Ibanez AW (which also sounds great by the way). I could not believe the difference in the tones produced by this baby versus any other acoustic I've owned. Feature: If you are looking for fancy designs and inlays, you wont find it here. This is a player. Although not short on beauty by any means. The craftmanship and solidity of this instrument is amazing. It seems so simple that it kinda makes you wonder why any guitar company can't make an instrument with this sound. Ease of Use: Unreal!!! A lot of the difficulty I had with other guitars, I attributed to my skill level. So one of two things is true. This guitar made me a better player.....Or its just that easy to play!! Quality: Not a flaw on it!! Value: Spending a grand on guitar based on my skill level was kind of hard to justify. After playing it at a local music shop (where it was way over-priced I might add), I fell in love with it. I of course could not fork out the dough for it. I found one from a private seller who did not like the width of the neck. I got basically a brand new guitar and case for $900. (Music store wanted closer to $1600) After owning this for almost 8 months now, I would definitely spend the 1400 average price for this instrument. Manufacturer Support: Haven't had to use any support, but I dont imagine there would be much difficulty. The Wow Factor: Not much sex appeal just sitting on a guitar stand, but once the sounds come pouring out......wow. Overall: I do not think that I will ever get rid of this guitar. I may look for other Taylor products to add to my arsenal, but I couldnt see getting rid of this baby.

Style of Music: Country, Pop, Blues,

Taylor DN4 Dreadnought Customer Review

Sound: Great for flatpicking and strumming. Not great but still very good for fingerpicking. Doesn't have a bluesy sound as most Gibsons and Martins. Perfect intonation, low string action w/ no buzzing anywhere. Very ringing chimey bell like tone. Bass, mids, and highs are very clear and clean. Sustain is very long. Volume can be very loud if strummed or picked hard. Feature: I mainly wish it had gloss finish on the back & sides instead of just the top. The DN6 & DN8 does. 18:1 ratio tuners are perfect. Tusq nut and saddle with ebony bridge pins is awesome! Real wood truss rod cover is great also. The black plastic binding stripe on the bottom side of guitar is kinda ugly as is the plastic white soundhole rings. I like but don't love the ovangkol back & sides. My dream Taylor would be with Madagascar Rosewood back & sides instead. 13-56 medium strings are perfect. Don't change the gauge. I love that it has no pickguard like some Takamines. Ease of Use: Playability is perfect and as good as it gets because Taylor uses computerized machines and lasers to make their guitars. Quality: Everything is perfect except soundhole rosette and bottom side binding. Frets and neck is great which is the most important for me, even more than overall sound. Value: Great value. I hope Taylor never raises their current prices. Manufacturer Support: Don't know.
