Value Without Compromise
Built to provide rich acoustic tone at an accessible price, the 100 Series offers great value without skimping on quality or craftsmanship. Every 100 Series guitar boasts a solid spruce top that serves up bold, assertive acoustic sound with strong projection and clarity between notes, making these models a fit with strummers, flatpickers and fingerpickers alike. A slightly narrower fretboard makes these guitars feel comfortable and welcoming regardless of your skill level, and the built-in ES2 electronics let you plug in and play on the fly. With Grand Auditorium and Dreadnought models available, the 100 Series has everything a new learner could need and robust tone to satisfy experienced players.

FEATURES
No Frills, Just Tone
Designed to provide an inspiring playing experience at an accessible price, the 100 Series sports traditional design and restrained aesthetics.
Solid Spruce Tops Deliver Power and Clarity
Guitars in the 100 Series are built with solid spruce tops and backs and sides of either layered walnut or layered sapele, producing a punchy acoustic response with a warm midrange and crisp trebles.
Premium Comfort with the Taylor Neck
Taylor's reputation for unmatched comfort and playability starts with the slender Taylor Neck. Six-string models from the 100 Series feature a narrower 1-11/16" nut width that makes holding chords and notes feel easier, putting less strain on your fretting hand.
Expression System 2 Acoustic Pickup
All 100 Series models include our proprietary ES2 electronics, which deliver faithful, clean-sounding acoustic tone when you plug in to an amplifier or PA.
Clean Appointments Keep the Focus on Tone
Guitars from the 100 Series feature black binding, a three-ring rosette, a black pickguard and 4mm dot fretboard inlays. Each model also sports a subtle matte finish.
Discover 12-String Shimmer with the 150e
The 100 Series includes the 150e, which has become one of the best-selling 12-string acoustic guitars on the market thanks to its relaxed feel and rich octave sparkle.
Gig Bags Included with Every Guitar
Every model in the 100 Series comes with a lightweight gig bag for transport and storage.
WHAT EXPERTS ARE SAYING

“The only things “entry-level” are the price and the placement in Taylor’s catalog; otherwise this is an instrument worthy of any stage or studio.”
“The quality is more or less immaculate and the playability is first rate and ultra-silky.”
