Product Description

 

The heralded Dreadnought is the most traditional of all acoustics. By definition, it's a battleship of a guitar and the Taylor left-handed DN3 pays tribute to that legacy-->   The original Dreadnought acoustic guitar appeared early in the 20th Century, and its no-frills, no-nonsense shape made it a logical namesake of the huge     battleships of that day. Most subsequent Dreadnoughts, including Taylor's, have been derivative of that early design. In 1997, however, Bob Taylor re-    designed the Taylor Dreadnought by softening the curves at the top and bottom and generally refining its overall shape. In 2003, gloss-finish Dreadnoughts     also underwent bracing refinements that substantially increased their overall volume and bass response, without sacrificing Taylor's signature balance and     clarity. Dreadnought six-strings shine as "plectrum" or "rhythm" guitars because they respond well to flatpicking or light-to-heavy strumming.   

  

Features ebony wood fretboard and bridge and left-handed design.

   

Rings Bright and Clear
  The top is made from Sitka Spruce, a dense, straight-grained wood that has the highest strength and elasticity-to-weight ratio among available tonewoods.     It's these attributes that make Sitka Spruce an ideal material not only for soundboards, but also for internal bracing. The Sitka top will produce a tone     slightly brighter tone than Engelmann Spruce.   

The back and sides of the left-handed DN3 are made from the mahogany-like sapele wood, which has gained a legion of fans ever since Taylor introduced it in 1998. As a tonewood, it's denser and harder than mahogany, so it has a crisper, clearer, brighter, "pop"-ier sound than its more familiar counterpart. Loud and robust, with a lovely ribboned grain, sapele has been used by Spanish guitar makers for many years.

       

Solid sitka spruce top is joined with sapele sides and back for a crisp and bright sound.

   

Construction
  Taylor takes pride in using the finest quality woods for their guitars, like ebony for every fretboard they make. The tone woods for the left-handed DN3 were quartersawn and carefully book-matched before being sorted, dried, and prepared by Bob Taylor and his experienced team of luthiers. The left-handed DN3s pearl inlay and binding work was also done by hand, providing care and "touch" that no machine can give. Taylor believes that precision matters, which is why they rely on laser cutters and computer-aided milling machines to consistently hit minute tolerances that were impossible a decade ago.

   

Balance and Bracing
  A balanced tone is critical to a quality recorded sound. Guitars that are too heavily weighted towards a particular end of the tonal spectrum (too "bassy,"     for example) tend to be tougher to record. While the Dreadnought shape has more volume or bass than other shapes, the overall balance on the left-handed DN3 is not compromised.

   

Most Dreadnought players prefer a flatpicking, heavy-strumming guitar, able to put out some serious volume and beefy bass frequencies. Dreads have more     bracing mass, so they shine as "plectrum" or "rhythm" guitars. Revoicing in 2003 (500 Series and up) created a completely new Taylor Dreadnought: one that is     louder, with deeper bass frequencies, yet manages to maintain the clarity and balance of the trademark Taylor tone.

     

Features small pearl inlays.

   

Straight Necks Matter
  Don't all guitars have straight necks? The answer is usually yes, but the real question is will they stay that way? Since its inception, the acoustic guitar     had a major design flaw. The fretboard lacked sufficient support to remain truly straight because of top movement caused by changes in humidity. All guitars     experience this phenomenon--often resulting in a slight bump at the 14th fret--but not all guitars respond to it in the same way.

   

Introduced in 1999 and a standard feature since 2001, the patented New Technology (NT) neck was designed by Bob Taylor and his team to accomplish the     primary goal of building a straighter, more stable guitar neck. While some necks may bend in the face of humidity and other factors, the NT Neck stays stable     and straight.

   

Adjustability is another major NT advantage. Since the NT Neck angle is created by spacers and requires no glue, adjustment simply requires a repairperson     with a new set of spacers and about five spare minutes. Altering the neck angle of a traditional neck assembly could require invasive surgery to remove wood     and relocate the bridge.

   

The bottom line: The NT Neck on the left-handed DN3 means a stable, easy-to-adjust neck that stands up to the pressures all acoustic guitars face.

   

Tuners  Precise, gleaming tuners add appealing form to an important function, while the type of strings used can alter the feel and the tone of your guitar. Taylor     pays careful attention to both, using tuners and strings that are optimized for the left-handed DN3 guitar. Together, they are among the keys to an easy-playing, incredible-sounding Taylor.
