Taylor DDX
In addition to his signature guitar, the DDSM, another namesake guitar, the Doyle Deluxe (DDX), was designed to bring a more affordable signature-style guitar to Doyle-inspired players while still delivering a high level of performance and style.
Doyle Dykes has long favored maple Grand Auditorium acoustic models. In addition to his signature guitar, the DDSM, another namesake guitar, the Doyle Deluxe (DDX), was designed to bring a more affordable signature-style guitar to Doyle-inspired players while still delivering a high level of performance and style. The DDX is a maple laminate Grand Auditorium with a solid Sitka spruce top. Offered in black with a gloss finish, the DDX features Doyle’s Chet Atkins-style fretboard inlays, a stylized signature treatment emblazoned along the headstock, crisp white binding, a 25-1/2-inch scale length (compared to the DDSM’s short-scale 24-7/8 inches), and a narrower 1-11/16-inch neck. The guitar comes performance-ready with Taylor’s under-saddle ES-T® pickup.
