What matters in use
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 01
Solid, not laminate, so the top opens up and gets louder over years of playing.
Detail 02
Shorter than a standard 25.5". Lower string tension, easier fretting, softer feel for small hands.
Detail 03
Less air inside means less bass and volume, but a tighter, more focused midrange.
Detail 04
Mahogany-like density. Stable and warm-sounding, holds a setup well through humidity swings.
Detail 05
Thin satin finish. Less shine, less drag on the neck hand, and it dampens the top less than thick gloss.
Detail 06
Full range for open chords and most melody work. Upper access is limited by the small body joint.
Final check
Product questions
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
A real guitar. Solid Sitka spruce top, sapele neck, built at Taylor's Tecate factory. It's scaled down, not simplified.
The 22" scale and small body suit players roughly 7 and up, and adults who want a compact guitar.
Not directly. There's no onboard electronics. You'd add a soundhole pickup or mic it.
It has less bass and volume than a full dreadnought. Midrange is focused and clear, which records well.
