R.Taylor's Style One is the same size as the Taylor Grand Symphony. But there are several significant structural differences under the hood. 16 inch lower bout (Kind of like a dreadnought with more curves).
Super smooth and accurate Gotoh 510 tuners. R. Taylor bone nut and wave compensated bone saddle. Original Ebony pins with abalone dots in the case. Beautiful Ab rosette.
Original Ameritage Taylor branded OHSC, is in excellent condition. All latches work perfectly. These cases are extremely protective, although they are heavy. Fits the guitar like a glove, and does the job admirably! This guitar has been kept in its properly humidified case when not being played.
R.Taylor was a completely separate company from Taylor guitars. Their guitars took about three times as long to make, due to extensive individual voicing and handiwork. Unfortunately they turned out to be in competition with Taylor's Build To Order and custom guitar programs. They ceased production at the end of 2011.
R.Taylor only made about 200 guitars a year for six years. In contrast the two Taylor factories turn out about 400 guitars per day!
R.T.s have significant structural differences from any other Taylors. Among them, solid Kerfing resulting in extremely rigid sides, which allowed the top to be made a bit lighter and braced a bit lighter, which needs to be done by hand, resulting in more volume, and better tone!
Also, the "snake head" headstock results in considerably smoother tuning due to a straighter string angle over the nut. And the Gotoh 510 tuners cannot be beat!
