What do the numbers mean on my Taylor?

Taylor have a numbering system that can help to identify the body shape and the wood used. The first digit in the model number refers to the series and most guitars in that series will use the same variety of wood for the back and sides. The second digit will tell you if the top is a softwood or hardwood. On a 6 string model, 1 is a softwood (such as spruce) and 2 is a hardwood (such as mahogany). The third digit is the body shape.
