Taylor Guitars has unveiled its Action Control Neck, a patented new neck joint that lets the guitar’s string height be micro-adjusted in seconds without removing the neck or strings, ensuring optimal playability throughout the entire lifetime of the instrument. First introduced with Taylor’s premium Gold Label Collection earlier this year, the Action Control Neck represents the culmination of Taylor’s half-century commitment to creating guitars that are both exceptionally playable and easily serviceable. The Action Control Neck builds on Taylor’s history of pioneering neck innovations. The new design features a long tenon that extends deeper into the guitar body’s neck block, enhancing the coupling in a way that translates into more low-end resonance and a deeper, warmer, more open sound in the Gold Label guitars. Unlike previous designs that required removing the neck and changing shims, the Action Control Neck has no shims and allows immediate action adjustments with a simple 0.25-inch nut driver through the soundhole — no removal of strings or neck required.
