For decades, fingerstyle virtuoso Doyle Dykes has inspired audiences with his masterful touch and musical imagination. The Doyle Dykes Signature Model features a thinner-bodied Grand Auditorium with a Florentine cutaway, pairing figured maple back and sides with a Sitka spruce top for a blend of clarity and projection. Its slim-carve hard rock maple neck and 24-7/8-inch scale length deliver a fast, comfortable feel that makes intricate fingerstyle passages effortless.
Visually, the model captures Doyle’s vibrant personality and honors his longtime mentor and friend, Chet Atkins. A beautifully ambered gloss finish highlights the body and neck, accented by offset mother-of-pearl “Chet”-style thumbnail inlays. A rose motif headstock inlay in mother-of-pearl and abalone, along with bridge pins with abalone dots, completes the striking aesthetic.

This 2002 Taylor Doyle Dykes Signature Model is in Excellent condition, part of a single-owner, climate controlled collection, with extremely light wear (pictured) consistent with 23 year age and only the most occasional home use. Includes original fitted hard case.
