[NAMM' Taylor Doyle Deluxe Guitar

The DDX borrows from the maple Grand Auditorium guitars that Doyle has long favoured, and fits alongside the company’s 200 Series laminate acoustic/electric guitars. Featuring a Grand Auditorium shape, maple laminate back and sides and a solid Sitka spruce top, the DDX comes in black with a gloss finish. Like the DDSM, the DDX features Doyle’s Chet Atkins-style fretboard inlays on the bass side.

Distinctive specifications include a scale length of 25–1/2 inches (the DDSM is 24–7/8), a narrower 1–11/16-inch neck, and Doyle’s signature with the word “Deluxe” emblazoned across the headstock. The model also comes with Taylor’s ES-T pickup, an under-saddle, single-source transducer which includes an onboard preamp and the same active controls installed with the full Expression System on other Taylor models.
