Perfect for budget-conscious guitarists
The 100 series offers rich acoustic sound at an affordable price without skimping on quality or craftsmanship. All 100 series guitars feature a solid spruce top that provides a powerful, assertive acoustic sound with strong projection and clarity between notes, making these models suitable for strummers, flat pickers and finger pickers alike . The slightly narrower fretboard makes these guitars feel comfortable and inviting no matter how you play, and the built-in Taylor ES 2 electronics mean you can plug them into an amplifier and play straight away. With Grand Auditorium, Dreadnought and more recently Grand Concert models , the 100 series offers everything a beginner needs and a robust tone that will satisfy even experienced players.
Taylor's reputation for unmatched comfort and playability begins with the slim Taylor neck . The six-string models of the 100 series have a narrower nut width of 42.86 mm (1-11/16") , which makes it easier to finger chords and individual notes and puts less strain on the fingering hand. Models with a "c" in the designation may The guitarist is also happy about a Venetian cutaway for better access to the high registers.
The 100 series guitars feature black binding, three-ring rosette, black pickguard, and 4mm Italian acrylic dot fretboard inlays. Each model also has a subtle, matte finish that allows the wood to swing more freely.

Taylor 100 Series Walnut Models
When the Taylor 100 Series was first released, all guitars featured a laminated walnut body with a solid Sitka spruce top . Taylor's laminated wood construction for the bottom and sides consists of three layers of wood: a central core of poplar wood and a thinner layer of walnut wood on each side. The rich brown tones of the plywood give the guitars a pleasant aesthetic warmth. The special model 124ce even has a walnut top, which enhances both the tonal warmth and the beautiful look. Layered walnut provides a strong foundation for Taylor's 100 series , adding a subtle touch of luxury looks and midrange presence.
Taylor 100 Series Sapele models
Similar to the laminated walnut models, the wood of the sapele guitars is also layered. While the rich tones of solid wood remain unsurpassed, laminated wood construction can produce great sound in a beautiful, durable and affordable instrument . This is the case with layered sapele, where Taylor uses interior and exterior veneers of sapele with a core layer of poplar in between. One of the benefits of plywood for guitars is the added resistance to fluctuating temperatures and changes in humidity. Sapele provides an exotic look and a balanced, slightly high-pitched sound.
