Taylor 300 Series Acoustic Guitars

The Taylor 300 Series Acoustic Guitars are the first range of guitars in the main Taylor line to feature all solid woods and could be considered top-end entry-level acoustic guitars.

Taylor 300 Series models are great for beginners who want something more than just entry-level but don’t want to splash out on a higher-end model, as well as more experienced players who want a quality guitar by a renowned brand that's still affordable. Solid woods are usually used in more expensive guitars, delivering a much more resonant sound compared to laminated or layered woods that are typically used in cheaper guitars. Solid spruce for example will sound better with age, which doesn’t happen with laminate tops, making these guitars for life.

The 300 Series acoustic guitars are available with various different features and options depending on your needs and preferences - including different body shapes and sizes, with or without a cutaway, with or without electronics, 12-string models, 12-fret models where the neck joins the body at the 12th fret as opposed to the 14th fret, and models with nylon strings. All Taylor 300 Series acoustic guitars come with a premium Taylor hardshell case.

For lefties, all models are available in left-handed versions for no extra cost. Please contact us for more details.

Popular models include the 314ce / 324ce, the 322ce 12-Fret, and the 317e.

Tonewood Combinations

Sitka Spruce Top With Sapele Back And Sides

The 300 Series features two different all-solid tonewood pairings to choose from;

This combination pairs the midrange warmth of Sapele with the volume and fullness of Sitka spruce to deliver a clear, balanced tonal response. These models have a rich gloss finish.

This combination pairs the more restrained, intimate sound of Mahogany with the balance and sweet-sounding Tasmanian blackwood to deliver a strong midrange with warmth and power. These models have a more vintage look with a shaded edge burst and satin finish.
