Taylor Guitar - Taylor Tuesday - Taylor 710e Western Sunburst

Taylor 710e Western Sunburst

Hello friends and welcome to another edition of Taylor Tuesday! This week we have a pretty unique Taylor in our inventory. It is the Taylor 710e Western Sunburst, which is the only Taylor Dreadnought in our inventory. This guitar has a nice vintage look with an uniquely Taylor take on the classic Dreadnought tone.

The Features

The Taylor 710e Western Sunburst features a Lutz Spruce Top over Indian Rosewood Back and Sides. This wood combination not only lends itself to the vintage look, but also the vintage tone of this guitar. In general it this guitar gives you the best of both worlds. It looks and sounds like something built in the heyday of the classic Western Guitar Era, but plays and feels like a modern, comfortable guitar. The Tropical Mahogany neck is capped with an Ebony fingerboard. The fingerboard is set with the beautiful Abalone Reflection pattern from Taylor. The neck also has a slight V-carve profile that gives a distinctly Taylor feel, but with slightly larger dimensions that appeal to fans of classic Dreadnought action. The headstock overlay is done in Ebony, and the headstock is slotted for a vintage tuning setup. This also creates a slinkier feel, combined with the slightly shorter 24 7/8" scale length really invites the player up the neck. The rosette is made from Herringbone, and the pick-guard is a Weathered Brown. The nut is made from Tusq, and the saddle is Micarta. The soundbox is a comfortable 4 5/8" inches, but it still has plenty of depth to resonate well. This guitar is a really powerful sounding guitar, with warm lows and well balanced highs.

The Electronics

This guitar boasts the renowned Taylor Expression 2 system. This allows for the entire character of the guitars tone to be picked up and amplified for live performances.

The Heartbreaker take

This guitar is really a classic, vintage guitar in tone and appearance, but plays and feels with modern comfort. It is the perfect guitar for most collections. A really great guitar that captures the spirit of the old Cowboy guitar player, but that fits seamless into the modern world of guitar players. [embed]https://youtu.be/4TusBYQc-iQ[/embed]
