Description
Taylor 310e ES2 2016【Taylor Authorized Repair Service Store】
MION is a shop recognized by Taylor Japan and one of only a few in Japan to have an "Independent Repairman" on staff. In addition to receiving after-care services such as repairs and maintenance after purchase, we are a shop where you can bring in Taylors even after the warranty period expires directly to our store, and we will continue to make even greater efforts in the sales of new Taylor guitars.
Additionally, we have created and published on our website a dedicated application form for the "Taylor Custom Select Program." This is a semi-custom system that allows for the easy creation of a one-of-a-kind Taylor guitar.

The "310e" features a traditional dreadnought shape, combining a Sitka Spruce top with Sapele sides and back—a popular specification for Taylor. The Sapele wood used in the popular "314ce" model as well is a West African timber with clear treble and responsive bass, possessing properties similar to mahogany.
By eliminating the cutaway, we secured sufficient volume, and the well-balanced tone characteristic of Taylor responds to a wide range of styles, from strumming to fingerpicking.
The "310" was redesigned in 2016 and features a short scale (631.8mm). When the scale length is shortened, the string tension becomes softer and easier to press down. This improves playability and is recommended for those with smaller hands or women, creating a clear difference from other models.
The pickup features Taylor's proprietary Expression System Pickup "ES2," which outputs a clear and well-balanced Taylor sound in real time without losing the nuance of the guitar's natural acoustic tone.
The top with a gloss finish is also a finish not found on higher-end models like the 314ce. This is a key factor that greatly influences the settled and radiant resonance of the natural sound compared to satin finish. (The sides and back are both satin)
While pursuing tonal breadth and durability, keeping it at this price point is thanks to Taylor's efforts. This product is definitely a recommended choice for those who want a high-quality electro-acoustic guitar at an affordable price.
Regarding Taylor guitars, we also handle after-care services for used products, including pickup changes, other adjustments, and consultations. You can bring them directly to our store as well, so please purchase with confidence. (Exchanges and repairs will incur a charge)
At our store, comparative trial playing with other models is also available.
We are committed to responding sincerely so that you can enjoy Taylor products for many years to come. We would be delighted if you would take this opportunity to purchase Taylor products at MION.
