Jumbo (JM)
The Jumbo's size suits it perfectly for aggressive strumming, but it's capable of sublime subtleties as well. While this shape gives you the greatest top surface, it’s quelled by the waist’s curvature and position. Overall, this is a strummer with a big sound.

None/Optional Expression System
The Expression System's seamless integration into the design of the guitar makes adding a pickup an easy, no compromise option on any Taylor acoustic guitar.

Gloss Top, Back & Sides
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.
