Taylor 420 1991 Natural

The discontinued Taylor 420 was an attempt to offer a more traditional dreadnought with Indian Rosewood back and sides, before the 400 Series really found its own identity with Ovangkol as its tonewood. This model is comparable to a Martin D-18 in some ways, though the internal bracing is slightly different. Some limited run specimens featured Maple back and sides.
