Taylor110e Sitka/Walnut Dreadnought ES2 Natural

Top quality guitar for the money. Being a Taylor, the quality is top notch. At the price point, I wouldn't say this is a "begginer" guitar; this is, however, an excellent choice for enthusiasts who want a quality guitar without breaking the bank. I'd like to say that Alamo Music is fast at communicating and a great seller.

I felt that buying a Taylor over the internet would be a safe bet. My other Taylors had thread tight growth rings on the top face. Strangely, the one I ordered came with 1/4 inch thick growth rings. Obviously the sitka spruce tree had some fast growth. I cannot say if it affected sound quality because I returned the guitar without giving it a good test play. The action at the 12th fret was ~0.5mm too high & The relief seemed to me to be too low. I did not measure the relief with a gauge. Compared to a Guild guitar I own, it was low. The pick guard did have some skids on it, which made me think it had been played & returned once before. I felt the factory set-up could have been better. I still have total faith in Taylor guitars, but this particular one did not seem to be up to their exacting standards. That's why I returned it. Give Amazon credit for allowing returns on such items.
