Taylor guitars are always nice. I wanted a nylon string guitar to give me more playing options. This (in this price range) is about the best you’ll find.
Stays in tune quite well although nylons always take ages to stretch out. Tuner onboard is really helpful.
Nice playability as Taylor’s usually are.
Arm rest on the body makes it comfortable too. The materials are not high end. It’s what keeps the costs down eg. no binding. Very light compared to my Taylor 214ce plus.
Slightly wider neck but you get used to it.
It does what I wanted so I’m happy with the purchase.

I just love it!

For me as a beginner, it looks like the perfect guitar. I am very happy with it.
Great feeling when you touch/ hold/ play it, great sound, very comfortable (the smooth cut edge is really something worthy), great playability.
The build in tuner is working fine and is very comfortable to use, no need for extra tuners or phone apps.
I have no bad things to mention about it.
It comes with a nice Taylor bag and very well packed.
I would definitely recommend it.

Taylor is so great

fuzz59 11.08.2024

Well, I just received this wonderful guitar few days ago. Everything is great with this Taylor classical nylon guitar. The wood choices are unusual for me as the Lutz spruce top and the Walnut. It is not Sapele for the Back and sides, but US Walnut wood. The quality of the sound from the guitar is an amazing feeling for my ears. I like much the finish natural and light just a great choice for the acoustic needs, it gives more a clear and powerful sound. Not much cons about it, just maybe the set up of the neck and the strings high, it can be better.

Meets all expectations

scottasaigon 09.10.2024

Beautifully set up, finished as expected. Pricey for an entry level guitar as advertised, but I defy anyone to pick it up and not sigh in satisfaction. The arm rest cutaway is amazing - how has this never been incorporated in other guitars? (The bracing, I know, but it's so comfortable!) So much better a guitar than any I've owned before.
