Doyle Dykes has long favored maple Grand Auditorium acoustic models. In addition to his signature guitar, the DDSM, another namesake guitar, the Doyle Deluxe (DDX), was designed to bring a more affordable signature-style guitar to Doyle-inspired players while still delivering a high level of performance and style. The DDX is a maple laminate Grand Auditorium with a solid Sitka spruce top. Offered in black with a gloss finish, the DDX features Doyle's Chet Atkins-style fretboard inlays, a stylized signature treatment emblazoned along the headstock, crisp white binding, a 25-1/2-inch scale length (compared to the DDSM's short-scale 24-7/8 inches), and a narrower 1-11/16-inch neck. The guitar comes performance-ready with Taylor's under-saddle ES-T® pickup.
