DISC Taylor 210 DLX Dreadnought Acoustic

Full Description

Dreadnought Body Shape

The Taylor 210 DLX is a stripped-back guitar based on one of the very first acoustic guitar designs. The dreadnought body shape has a large body with a subtly rounded waist for a full-bodied tone with deep low-end, smooth mids, and a crisp high-end. This style of guitar is prolific with strummers and flat-pickers, and it has a strong root in bluegrass and folk styles of country music. The deep bass-response is ideal for a hard picking attack and driving rhythms, while the large body shape is perfect for un-plugged performance, where it can keep up with singers and other instruments.

Classic Aesthetics

The Taylor 210 DLX features everything you need to perform, packaged in an understated design that features just-enough aesthetic touches to give you a stylish guitar. The body binding, abalone-style rosette, and dot-inlays combine to create a classic-looking guitar that wouldn't look out of place several decades ago.

Sitka Spruce Top on Copafera Body

The sitka spruce top is chosen for its bright tone, mounted with Taylor's forward-shifted bracing for optimum resonance. The bright-sounding top complements the large body perfectly, helping to create a sound with great clarity and nuance, despite the full body proportions and deep low-end. The top is mounted to a laminate copafera body, delivering a great balance of affordability, strong tonality, and good-looks. These tonewoods create a balanced sound that is ideal for many genres of music.  

Smooth Playing Neck

The 210 DLX has a satin-finished neck, giving you an effortlessly smooth feel as you traverse the fingerboard. The mahogany neck provides enhanced brightness and is crafted with Taylor's special profile for an ultra-playable feel.   

Reviews

Guitarist Magazine reviewed the almost identical (single cutaway, pickup-loaded) Taylor210E:

"Cheaper dreadnoughts can feel like hard work; this one almost plays itself. This is a comfortable player, with a not-too-deep feel to the profile that encourages flatpicking and fingers…

Taylor dreadnoughts tend to have a shallower rim depth than some of the 125mm bruisers you'll find out there, but the 210ce has no problem with unamplified grunt and leaves most of its rivals for dust in the tone stakes…

We get tight top end shimmer bolstered by authoritative warmth in the lows, coupled with bags of sustain and commanding dynamics that imply this model could face up to most styles.

..you're rewarded with some of the sweetest tones and best playability in this price bracket, along with - let's be honest - the sheer kudos of owning a pukka Taylor"
