New Taylor acoustic Dreadnoughts honor the storied heritage of this perennial body shape!
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. Our Dreadnought's booming bass and articulate mids dare you to dig in and challenge your flatpicking prowess.
The look and tone of the Taylor DN Series ovangkol/Sitka spruce acoustic guitar combo rival almost any other in the high-end guitar world. Yet Taylor's ability to affordably source the beautiful, rosewood-like tonewood keeps it within reach.
Features Taylor DN4:
Woods: Ovangkol/Sitka
The timbre of ovangkol, which many find reminiscent of rosewood, combines with the punch of a Sitka spruce top to create a rich tonal tapestry.
Shape: Dreadnought
The Taylor Dreadnought is a focused guitar with plenty of presence, recently redesigned to be even more assertive. It's the traditional choice for the traditional player; the model to drive with a heavy pick.
Electronics: None
Finish: Gloss Top/Satin Back & Sides
The finish used to create this guitar's textured satin back & sides and lustrous gloss top was developed at Taylor for maximum durability and resistance to cold-checking. This ultraviolet-cured finish is also more environmentally friendly than traditional lacquer finishes.
