They boast the company's legendary quality and include revolutionary touches that make them supremely playable for beginners and seasoned players alike. The built-in armrest softens the contact point between the guitar's body and the player's arm, the slightly shorter neck softens the action of the strings, and light-gauge strings further enhance the bond between fingertips and the guitar's sleek ebony fretboard.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003ePerfectly Worn-in Spruce Top:\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eMusicians often find that acoustic instruments develop a more mellow and responsive tone over time. Taylor's cutting-edge torrefaction process mimics the feel of an aged top right out of the box.
