LB : congratulations on your new family addition. Be aware , though , there is no vaccine for G.A.S. ! The angle area is an “arm bevel” and those GOTOH 510 s are among the best tuners. Looking at some comments , many people associate guitar sound with the ubiquitous Martin D 28. Their low E/A register is ideal for bluegrass music. At the music store , my friends and I can always tell when someone is previewing a Martin. Taylor is best for note articulation and I was told by the Taylor factory tour guide several years ago that he recommended a slightly heavier pick for the best tone. Taylor has done a lot for Forest sustainability and preservation and deserve credit for that. Thanks for sharing and happy picking to you.

@LaurenBateman 2 года назад

This is amazing. Thank you for sharing. I'm still learning so much. I use a 0.88 so a little bit on the thicker side.

@deans.8659 2 года назад

Congrats on the new Taylor Lauren!! Enjoy it!! I played that 324 too, loved that warm sound. Try it with an Acus or Ortega Amp. :- ) V-bracing is magic. Gives much more sustain and power. The woods let it sound warm. Great quality! I for myself prefer the clear and powerful sound of spruce top/rosewood back and sides. The sound is overwhelming when playing unplugged and wows when playing with amp. It's a lot of money for sure, but the smile in your face when you play these is worth every Dollar. My next (and last) one will be a Taylor definitivly.

Hey Lauren, love all your videos, most recent one was about guitar strings. I’ll definitely look into the D-Addario white packet you showed in the video. Also the nickel wound hybrid electric strings. I currently have a Martin Road Series guitar made in Mexico. Definitely agree it was tough handing over the money (€1100) but don’t regret buying it. I trade in guitars rather than keeping ones I don’t use or like playing anymore. So sorry to hear about everything you went through. Love from Ireland 🇮🇪😁 Love your new guitar.

If you ever get the chance, come visit the Taylor Guitar Factory in San Diego, California. You will learn and see a lot of their manufacturing processes and incredible craftsmanship up close. Plus, you can come early, or stay afterwards, and play any one of the many Taylor models in their retail store at the factory. No purchase necessary! Come visit, visit the factory, have a fish taco, and a West Coast IPA. Fun vacation!

@michaelpasmore116 2 года назад

@@LaurenBateman I also really enjoy your videos and congratulations for a really large subscriber base! Only frustrating thing about my new Taylor is since it’s all wood with a Sitka Spruce top and Indian Rosewood on back and sides which means in Arizona where I live with a dry climate I have to keep in the case (humidified) when I’m not playing it and cannot admire looking at it on the guitar stand! Like your new 314ce builder’s edition, it really has a great sound and extremely happy with my purchase. Taylor builds awesome guitars!

Now I have 9 guitars which consists of 6 higher end Alvarez guitars, a Takamine and two Yamaha guitars. After all those years of playing Taylors I wanted to have a different sound. I have 4 12-string guitars and I love them. Have you considered adding a 12-string to your collection? Taylor makes some great 12-strings!

Lauren, now that you have four months experience with this new Taylor guitar, what is your take on the amplified sound vs unplugged tone ? Reading customer purchase reviews on Sweetwater, there was some concern expressed about “scratchy “ tones from the Taylor pick ups paired with this model. What has been your experience ?

@@LaurenBateman I would highly recommend the Taylor Academy Series especially 12e to any of your student, they sound great and with the maple necks are very stable, plus they are small enough to be a decent travel or camp fire guitar. I initial I was skeptical about a "student guitar" but then the guy from Driftwood Guitars reviewed one and even cut it up (cross sectioned) and then bought one himself because of the sound and build quality. To put it in perspective, Driftwood Guitars are 7 to 10k guitars and here the owner/master luthier is out buying a $600 Taylor, that was enough evidence for me.

So glad you got a Taylor and I hope you love it! It looks a lot bigger than the crafter…🤔

@LaurenBateman 2 года назад

It's actually smaller by a little bit

@robertkelly1434 2 года назад

I'm asking this because you say you're not a "tech person": Now that you own a $3000 guitar, how's the humidity in the room where your guitars are kept? Taylor recommends a RH of 40%-60%.

@LaurenBateman 2 года назад

In New England, it's horrible. I keep the Taylor in her case with humidifiers. She needs to be well taken care of.

@robertkelly1434 2 года назад

@@LaurenBateman I only recently discovered this issue, Rhett Shull did a video on one of his guitars that was literally damaged by dehydration. I now have a hygrometer on the wall next to mine, and hang laundry to dry in the room where they're kept. I'll be ordering a humidifier soon. 😏😏😏

@ParaBellum2024 2 года назад

That Taylor looks nice, and it's certainly at a higher price point than your Crafter. I have four Crafters, and find them very good quality and value. Going to a higher price point, I'd be tempted to go for Furch/Stonebridge, Takamine, or Alvarez.

@LaurenBateman 2 года назад

Shhh. I still like my Crafter better 😉 But I do love the Taylor and warmth in it tone. Much better for fingerpicking songs. Better balance.

@miguelangelcolon1345 11 месяцев назад

Then you dont like Taylor?

@ParaBellum2024 11 месяцев назад

@@miguelangelcolon1345 I _want_ to like Taylor guitars. Their consistency and manufacturing precision are second to none, but unfortunately, they don't sound as good as other guitars.
