Default did taylor ever make a short scale dreadnought or GA guitar?

I know that the GCs are a little shorter but has Taylor ever produced a DN or GA guitar with a 1 3/4" neck width but a short scale length? Is this something I would have to custom order?

thanks everyone.

My 2016 710e is a short scale and I believe there's a short scale 300 series dread.

Yes, I've seen & played a very nice Taylor 510e. Short-scale, slotted-head, with a 1&3/4 inch nut. Lutz spruce over mahogany.

I believe the current 520 (mahogany) dreadnought is shorter-scale.

thanks for the info everyone!

edit: it also turns out the new 310ce guitars that will be released in May 2017 are short scale... which is perfect!

There also used to be 510 and 710 limiteds that were short scale somewhere between 2004-2010. I believe these were designated as L9 maybe?

I think flaggerphil is correct. The current 310s are short scale. Hmm...I wonder if the 2017 version will have the slot head like the newer 510 and 710.

There was definitely a short scale 410 fall limited with Walnut.
