All three Indian rosewood/Sitka spruceguitars feature subtly updated versions of the
Dreadnought and Jumbo body shapes Boboriginally inherited from Sam Radding, ownerof the American Dream shop that he andco-founding partner Kurt Listug purchasedtogether. Notable details for all three guitarsinclude:
Body and peghead shape: The bodyis slightly newer than Bobs earliest
versions but still older. The peghead isan earlier straight-ear shape with a
rosewood veneer.
X-bracing: The pattern is a versionused on Taylor Dreadnoughts andJumbos prior to the arrival of AndyPowers.
Patented Taylor neck: Bobsbreakthrough neck design (formerly
known as the NT neck) enableseasy micro-adjustability and optimalplayability/performance over time.
Bridge style: The Dreadnought 810e willhave Taylors recognizable modern shape;the two Jumbos will feature Taylors vintagemustache-style bridge.
Appointments: The aesthetic details recallthose of the early 800 Series models, with
a clean, classic aesthetic Bob loves: whiteplastic binding, three-ring green abalone
rosette, non-engraved mother-of-pearl LargeDiamond fretboard inlays, ebony bridge pinswith green abalone dots, gloss-finish body andneck, faux tortoiseshell pickguard and Taylornickel tuning machines.
