The Doyle Dykes Signature Model brings together a thin‑body Grand Auditorium design, a solid Sitka spruce top, and figured Big Leaf Maple back and sides to create a voice that is bright, articulate, and incredibly responsive to touch. The slim‑carve maple neck and shorter 24-7/8" scale make it feel fast and effortless, especially for players who lean into melodic phrasing or detailed fingerstyle work.
Visually, it stands out immediately. The transparent orange gloss finish, grained ivoroid binding, green abalone trim, and Chet‑style thumbnail inlays give it a bold, unmistakable character. A rose‑motif headstock inlay and gold hardware complete the look without feeling flashy.
With Taylor’s Claria System electronics onboard, the guitar delivers a natural, balanced amplified tone that’s easy to dial in on any stage. It’s a signature model that feels personal, expressive, and built for players who want clarity, comfort, and a bit of showmanship in one instrument.
