1997 Taylor 810e LTD – Limited Edition Dreadnought w/ Fishman Electronics


Rare 1997 Taylor 810e LTD acoustic/electric in excellent condition. Built during Taylor’s highly regarded 1990s production era, this Limited Edition model featured upgraded appointments, premium tonewoods, and Taylor’s redesigned dreadnought body introduced in 1997.


This guitar has the rich, mature voice that made the older Taylors so desirable — powerful low end, crisp articulation, balanced mids, and shimmering highs with exceptional projection. The slim Taylor neck profile makes it effortless to play while the solid rosewood body delivers warmth and depth that has opened up beautifully over time.


Equipped with onboard Fishman electronics, this guitar is stage and studio ready with reliable plugged-in performance and natural acoustic tone.
