Strummers and pickers will love the feel and sound of our sapele/spruce Dreadnought 310. The guitar’s 24-7/8-inch scale length — slightly shorter than the 25-1/2-inch length of most other Taylor Dreadnoughts — makes forming chords and bending strings a little easier on the hands. The pairing of sapele and spruce yields clear projection with a top-end presence that makes for strong and articulate lead runs, while the broad waist of the Dreadnought delivers a strong low end with a throaty midrange focus. Understated cosmetic details include black binding, a black pickguard, Italian acrylic small diamond fretboard inlays, a 3-ring rosette, and satin-finish back and sides with a gloss-finish spruce top. The guitar ships in a Taylor deluxe hardshell case.
