Built to meet the fingerstyle legend's exact specifications, the Doyle Dykes Signature Model features a short-scale, Grand Auditorium figured maple body, "Chet"-style fretboard markers, Florentine cutaway, and a pearl/abalone white rose peghead inlay. Available with the Taylor Expression System or the L.R. Baggs Doyle Dykes Signature System.

The distinctive blend of Big Leaf maple and Sitka spruce creates a bright, crystalline timbre with strong projection and warm overtones.

With a depth of 4 1/8 inches, the shallower Grand Auditorium body offers a tone that's a bit more edgy and a shape that's built for performance.

Doyle's signature sound is amplified via your choice of Taylor's revolutionary Expression System or custom electronics, designed by LR Baggs exclusively for the DDSM.

The DDSM's glorious maple body and spruce top are finished in your choice of glossy orange, jet-black, natural, or new brown sugar.
