New Taylor Acoustic Guitars Line Up For 2012

NAMM 2012  The array of guitars available from Taylor is vast, and for 2012 there are some significant updates across the board.  We saw the new guitars for ’12 at the Anaheim NAMM Show and they look and play great.   The Koa Series gets a koa/maple island Vine inlay, a new single ring rosette, and maple or blackwood purfling trim.  We love that.  On the 700 Series you’ll find Ivoroid Heritage Diamnods inlay, a 3-ring rosette and Ivoroid binding, and a Vintage Sunburst finish on a standard Engelmann spruce top.  The 600 Series gets Pearloid Twisted Ovals inlay on the Natural finish, with an option for Koi Blue.  Pearloid Deco Diamonds adorn the 500 Series in 2012, with faux tortoise shell binding and dark brown stain.  The 400 Series gets Pearloid Progessive Dots on the fingerboard.  The 300 Series gets 4mm Pearl Dots and two new GS models, the 316ce and 356ce.  Finally, the 200 Series will show up in two new finishes: Tobacco Sunburst and all-black.  Also, there are fewer Jumbo models this year, and most GA 12-strings are going away in favor of more GS 12-strings.
