The Taylor Relief Cut
Take a close look at the image above, and you'll see that we routed out a groove along the inside edges of the top; this groove is similar in function to the re-curve on a violin — it "loosens up" the edges of the top, giving extra flexibility, without sacrificing much heft. We first began routing out this groove in 2002, while revoicing our Dreadnoughts. The result is ample bass and volume with a balanced tone that's right for recording, and yet another patent: Taylor Relief Cut, U.S. Patent #6,759,581.
