The Style 3 model from R. Taylor Guitars explores the rich tradition of the classic dreadnought body shape and adds modern R.Taylor tone, features and craftsmanship. This guitar features an Adirondack spruce top with Adirondack braces in a modified X pattern and Indian rosewood sides and back. This is a very classic combination of tone woods on a dreadnought style guitar and provides a great balance between deep full bass and bright crisp trebles. This guitar has the solid note fundamental, headroom and clarity that one would expect from these woods as well as an augmented upper midrange and lovely warm set of overtones.

Bluegrass composer, vocalist and instrumentalist Dan Tyminski is probably best known for his Grammy winning version of “Man of Constant Sorrow” from the movie “Oh Brother, Where Art Thou?”. He is also a member of the band Alison Krauss and Union Station and has won 10 Grammy awards for solo and collaborative projects.

Well call me superficial, but I was in love with this Guild F47mATB before I had even played it. The best part is, it sounds even better than it looks! Everything I love about the F47R follows over to the F47mATB, but with a slightly brighter voicing. There is a hint more compression to the low end, giving the guitar a bell like ring that just sings. I never like to pick favorites (I think players should approach every new guitar with open eyes), but if someone were to twist my arm into naming my pick from the bunch, I wouldn’t not choose the F47mATB…… Cough, cough…
MORE →This guitar is the same as the D40 BG, without the pickup, and with a more traditional natural finish. With no sunburst to cover it, the clear tight grain of the adirondack spruce top really shines. With its minimalistic detailing and top-notch construction, the D40 BG can proudly stand among the J45s, D18s, and DN5s that stand at the top of the list of classic workhorse dreadnoughts.
