which are vital to the flavor and tone of an acoustic explore the taylor line by series to find the look and style you want for your instrument every guitar player needs a great acoustic guitar or several in their collection finding the right acoustic guitar for you can be a daunting process even for the most seasoned player if you are new to shopping for guitars then it is even more critical that you learn all you can before you make your first purchase if your first acoustic guitar is not the appropriate choice for you then it can dramatically reduce the enjoyment you will get out of your instrument if you are a new guitar player the wrong guitar can be downright discouraging you want a guitar that fits you is effortless to play and has the rich beautiful tone you love to make it the instrument you dream of playing hour after hour about taylor guitars frequently asked questions how do i choose the right taylor guitar for my playing style and skill level picking the right acoustic guitar is a highly subjective experience one that fully depends on your personal preferences for how your guitar should feel sound and look like with any musical instrument choosing a guitar is a matter of individual fit and no one can tell you exactly which guitar is the best for you that said we at taylor have built enough guitars that we have a pretty good idea of how players like to approach buying a new acoustic we can give you some advice on how to approach the choice generally we can break it down into two factors feel and sound the way a guitar feels has a profound impact on your musical journey simply put if a guitar doesn t feel good to play you re very unlikely to want to play it a guitar that feels good in your hands will help you grow as a musician develop new skills and explore more musical territory a comfortable guitar helps you become a better player so what goes into making a guitar feel good for most guitarists the most important elements of playing comfort are neck playability and body shape let s break those down neck profile or neck shape affects the way it feels to hold down the strings to fret a note or chord across the guitar industry you ll find a wide variety of neck shapes from thick and chunky to slim and fast as with everything else about guitars neck shape is a matter of personal preference some guitar players like the feeling of a thicker neck while others like a slender profile at taylor we ve made our name in large part through our signature neck profile it s a slender easy playing neck shape first designed by our co founder bob taylor and honed to perfection over decades of building guitars every taylor guitar features a comfortable neck profile because we believe it s the ideal profile for reducing hand fatigue and supporting a guitar player s ability to move across the fretboard with ease also related to neck shape is a guitar s action or string height the distance between the strings and the fretboard generally speaking lower action requires less effort from the player as they fret notes and chords however action is a balance if it s too low notes won t come through clearly and you ll hear fret buzz and other noise if it s too high it becomes difficult to hold down the strings taylor guitars are famous not just for slender necks but also for having low action we set up every guitar that we build before we ship them out to stores to ensure they have low comfortable action from the first strum the second major element of feel for a guitar is body shape acoustic guitars come in a wide variety of body shapes ranging broadly in size and contours and there s no one size fits all shape nor is there a perfect way to predict which shape will be right for each player however understanding the relative sizes of each acoustic guitar body shape can help you decide where to get started with your buying decision here s a rundown of our sizes from smallest to largest keep reading this faq for more information on how body shapes affect tone and match up with different playing styles also note that not all of these body shapes are always in production at taylor guitars our lineup evolves
