Taylor Doyle Dykes Signature Grand Auditorium Acoustic-Electric Guitar (with Case)

zZounds Gear Experts Say...
Finger-style phenom Doyle Dykes and Taylor team up for a signature acoustic! It hosts custom appointments such as a trans orange finish and custom X bracing.

The Taylor Doyle Dykes Signature Model pairs boutique-inspired elegance with the articulate voice and effortless feel discerning players expect from a high-end acoustic-electric guitar. Its slim Grand Auditorium body offers a refined, intimate playing experience that feels equally at home in the studio, on stage, or on the couch. A Sitka spruce top and highly figured big leaf maple back and sides deliver a remarkably clear, balanced response with shimmering detail, strong note separation, and the kind of piano-like definition that rewards a nuanced touch. Taylor custom X bracing enhances projection and focus, while Taylor Claria under-saddle electronics preserve the guitar's natural character when amplified, giving you a polished live sound with discreet soundhole-mounted controls. The Slim Carve maple neck, deep Florentine cutaway, and ebony fingerboard create a fluid, fast-playing feel across the entire register. Visually, grained ivoroid binding, green abalone purfling, a rose headstock inlay, and retro-inspired DDSM dot inlays underscore the model's custom-level presentation. For players seeking sophisticated tone, elevated craftsmanship, and signature Taylor refinement, this instrument makes a lasting impression.
