The rich sound and gorgeous appearance of the Taylor 900 Series guitars has always created a distinctive and dramatic impression. According to Bob Taylor, these guitars, built of highest-quality Indian rosewood and master-grade Engelmann spruce, have now been taken one step further in the direction of elegance, in order to create "a simple, pretty, traditional, fancy guitar."

The overall look of the 900 Series has been updated; although still retaining Taylor's distinctive, "bound" soundhole with abalone rosette, these guitars no longer have an abalone extension around the fingerboard. The progressive fingerboard inlay has been simplified, redesigned to be delicate and a bit "old-timey", and this new inlay motive is echoed on the bridge and peghead of each instrument. Tasteful new Ivoroid binding enhances the beauty of the tonewoods, and adds to the "classic" feel of the 900 Series. New cutaway models with electronics are now offered.
