I’m a bassist to my soul, but I have this exact guitar at home. It’s a really special one. My father in law played it at my and my wife’s wedding, and at the time, I didn’t know that I’d come into ownership of it. Just two months after our wedding, he suddenly passed away, and he left us his guitars, the Taylor among them. I honestly have no guitar chops, but that guitar is really important, and I’m hoping one day my kids will want to play it.

learn to play the guitar and it will make you a better bassist as when I was in a band we swapped instruments sometimes and it helped us develop an understanding. there are techniques for guitar and bass that can be used and help how you play. if you fingerstyle and flamenco guitar and apply that to bass you can get some really cool styles that are very unique.

I also had a Breedlove Classic 12 but had to sell it when I fell on some bad times. It was also a guitar that I loved to play. Maybe some day I’ll find that 12 string again and add it back to my collection. I enjoyed listening to your comments as they really struck a passionate nerve. I still play everyday and never can get enough. You’re doing great things! Keep it up man!

I first became aware of Taylor when I played The Last of Us Part 2, and the aged sunburst 314ce in that game just looks amazing. The necks on Taylor guitars are such an easy transition for electric guitar players and I love the clarity of Taylors. I would love to own any Grand Auditorium or Grand Pacific models one day from Taylor, but I'm also content at the moment with my Yamaha FG800.
@jackhargreaves1911
@jackhargreaves1911 Год назад
Agreed. I was amazed how easily I moved from my Les Paul to a Taylor GS mini. The neck is so comfortable. Of course, I had to get used to playing 13’s instead of 10’s (when I am tired it feels like I am strumming a brick) but that is improving my playing all around.

I got my 114ce in college in 2008, basically any money from my summer job that didn't go to rent went to that guitar. If I'm playing acoustic that's still the one that I grab I still perform with it, everything. The fact that it's not all solid wood is finally starting to catch up with it The tone just doesn't get better with age with a laminate back and sides but it's still a great guitar and it plays amazing. Dream would probably be a grand Pacific builders edition something.

I’ve had a Taylor 714ce for about 15 years and love it. It’s got a solid cedar top which makes it resonate differently, good for finger style, though I mostly use a pick. Plays like butter. They went for 3k but I got it for 2k used. It’s the only acoustic I’ve kept. Records great too! It’s got the original Fish,an electronics with a multi band eq and a mic inside the guitar that you blend with the piezo. So it sounds fairly natural recorded direct. Now I want to go play it!

I definitely agree that it's subjective. I don't care for Taylors. To me, they all sound the same. Whether it's the $350 model or the $3k model, they sound the same. All high end. No low end at all. They're the modern day equivalent of an Ovation. And they're NOWHERE NEAR a Martin. But, that's just my opinion.

Martins and Taylor's are just so different. A family friend had a Martin dreadnought 6 and 12 string (I am not sure what model numbers) from the 60's and the sound was absolutely amazing. There's just nothing like it. But I have smaller hands and discovered Taylor about 20 years ago and fell in love with the playability. Taylors are obviously brighter and I understand why people who dig Martins sometimes don't like that. I had an 814ce and it was amazing. It was bright, but the low end was actually pretty good too. I regret selling it. I'll get back into the Taylor market soon. Who knows if there is a Martin that has that classic Martin sound that is a little more playable I'd be a Martin guy too.

I come from a family of Taylor players, and when I was 13 my dad took me to a Taylor road show. I was fascinated learning about tonewood selection and how their unique bracings/tech made the guitars sound so distinct. For awhile in college I tried out a Spruce Martin 000, as I was focused on more traditional folk and blues playing, but these days I almost exclusively play the Mahogany GS mini my pops gave me when I was a teenager. It's incredibly versatile, the wood balances out its naturally bright Taylor sound, and it has extraordinary range and sustain for its size. My college roommate told me it plays like it has songs living inside it, and I 100% agree. Such a special little guitar.

At least they switched from 80/20 about 10 years ago to Phosphor Bronze, but Taylors benefit from even warmer sounding strings than Elixir. Most recording engineers try to get rid of the thin taylor sound through swapping out the strings and real EQ adjustments to the top end. Have owned a 814 for 25 years, and the only thing I don't like about it is the sound.

My dream guitar is a 2007 Taylor 814CE, and I got one 15 years ago. It’s the finest material thing that I own. have never tired of playing it or wished I had a different 6-string. It makes me sound better than I am. I’m very fortunate.

Hard disagree with this take. IN MY OPINION, Martin’s are superior. Again, just my opinion but having played both, you get more tonal variety out of a Martin. Taylor guitars are perfect for Sunday service 😊

the biggest reason I gravitated towards my taylor at a young age was playability --- which is what I thought you were going to get into with this vid. the bright tone and resonance is definitely iconic but if I had to guess I would say the quality out-of-the-box setups on even lower end models is why so many people fall in love with taylors
@monochromedout
@monochromedout Год назад
See, what turned me off from Taylor is the fact that martins are pleked from the factory. I guess i viewed that as a playability bonus. Wanted a Taylor 214e sunburst or 314ce edge burst bad. Went with a 000-16 Martin. Not so much turned me off but pushed me towards Martin.

I love my GS Mini but was surprised by the ridiculously high action out of the box (double their own claimed spec) and the need to get the neck shimmed under warranty straight away. I discovered that this is a common problem with the model. The luthier attached to my local shop (who doesn’t get to see them before they go out) said he suspects they are all over-height out of the box, but most people do not take them back within the warranty period. Eventually they get fixed when they go in for something else.

Great video and good playing . I have two Taylor’s myself, both maple, but very different. My first is a 614ce which was where I could afford to jump in to the Taylor line. I had other acoustics before and I always had to do a lot of EQ’ing and acoustic pedals to get a descent sound. The 614ce only needed reverb. The second is my favorite guitar, it is a Taylor 412 from 1996. It did not have a cutaway and it did not have pickups, so I installed the L.R. Baggs pro Anthem, which made that guitar come alive. It was so good; I put one in my original 614ce. I paired these guitars with the Fender acoustic 100 and they sound so good. I keep the 614ce in standard tuning and the 412 in DADGAD and it is the perfect performance combo. Speaking of performance, my favorite two Taylor players are Tommy Shaw of Styx and Steven Curtis Chapman, who is an amazing singer songwriter. Check out Steven’s Taylor show performance of Lord of the Dance when Bob Taylor designed a special guitar just for Steven. It is excellent. Keep up the good work. ❤

I'm a bass player who has a Taylor GS Mini koa bass that has an amazing tone. I also have a Martin B1 acoustic bass that I really like. Taylor and Martin are my two favorite guitars with completely different sounds. I have a Taylor GS Mini mahogany guitar. I would love to have an American made Taylor someday but I'm old, retired, and not good enough on guitar to justify the money. My son in law plays both Martin and Taylor and both are great in his hands. Love your channel and what you do.

I’m a professional musician, but a relatively new guitar player. Started on a Yamaha and when I felt ready I bought a used Taylor 314CE and thought that was is for me. I loved the sound and feel of that guitar. But then I played a Martin D18 and couldn’t put it down. Ended up trading the 314 for it. I still have a soft spot for Taylors, but I have an emotional reaction every time I pick up the Martin. The sound just speaks to me. I also really can’t afford to have two great acoustics and only ever playing one of them, so it made sense to do the trade.

To my ear Taylors are really harsh and also because I play pretty hard, I enjoy the Martin sound a little better because I find them more controllable. But for fingerstyle and innovation in general, Taylor has been doing some amazing work lately. The 214ce is indeed one amazing guitar!

I have a Taylor Fall Limited GA that is Cocobolo back and sides with a Koa wedge on the back and Koa Binding and Sitka Spruce top. I bought it years ago before kids. It is amazing and is more guitar than I will ever need or buy again. Now I pretty much play electric and I have a bunch of them and love modding them to make them customized for me. Like right now I am playing a Dakota Red 40th Anniversary Squier Tele that I just recently bought on Proaudiostar because they have wicked good deals. Anyways, I had a Seymour Duncan Five-Two neck pickup, and a Seymour Duncan Hot Rail Bridge pickup that I put in it with a push pull to split the hot rail, upgraded the nut and string tree to the Graphtec Tusq and upgraded the electronics. I absolutely love it.

My favorite guitar is the Taylor GS Mini. It is a little smaller and easier for my small hands to finger. It isn't a performance guitar, IMO, but it is the one I pick up when I just want to lean back in my recliner and play around. The sound is just amazing and it is so easy to play. I have the mahogany but would really love to try the Koa. To be honest, I don't know that I could do a more expensive Taylor justice. There is a point where it really isn't the violin but the violinist.

I bought an 814ce in the summer an absolutely love it. Having been primarily an electric player for years and years I started to gain more interest in reaching out in other directions. I figured buying a Taylor would give me no excuses and encourage playing more acoustically. It worked and I play acoustic about 50% of the time now and find it's improving my electric playing too. Maybe it's improved finger strength.

I’m 69 and I mostly play electric guitars on gigs, but I started playing acoustic guitar two Sundays per month last year. I’d never owned a new acoustic and I wasn’t pleased with my old Yamaha acoustic. The local music shop sells Martins, Gibsons and Taylors. I liked some of each. When I played a 114ce, I was ready to buy it. Then I played a 214ce and I was going to buy it. Same with the 314ce, then the 414ce. As the numbers increased, it seemed that each guitar was a little “better” than the one before it. Finally I stopped at the 414ce. It’s a hit with me so far.

Taylor is the only guitar company, since the founding of Martin, that has sent Martin back to the drawing board, time and again, to completely reconsider and rethink the design and construction of a guitar. Taylor as a company, has also been responsible for helping other emerging guitar companies get their start. No other guitar company has ever done that.

Woahh!!! Haven't thought you'd be talking about my Taylor model specifically 🥲🫣 A proud Taylor 214ce owner since more than a year 🥹 I just did it's servicing a few days back under 1 year warranty from the store for free and it's sounding just like a brand-new Taylor again 🙃 I started dreaming for a Taylor guitar since more than a decade seeing some of my favourite RU-vidrs playing it and i instantly fell in love with that sound without much technical knowledge those days.. I never thought I'd be buying one with proper knowledge any soon 😅 I bought it while borrowing a lumpsum amount of money from my cousin sister and a few bucks from my own brother coz i was in need as my really old Ibanez guitar had some real buzzing and permanent damages to the frets due to unprofessional repairing done at some of our local stores 😔 So, i got it and did an opening for one of our top Indie bands in Delhi with my local band & it was worth it since then! Taylor is Taylor.. no doubt 🫡 And the reason i started playing guitar back in 2010 mid summer was due to some spark i got from Taylor Swift's song Mine which i learnt so easily as a four chords song apt for a beginner like me those days.. So obviously, one of my favourite Taylor player artists and generally favourite and inspiration is miss T Swift mainly but i do follow all other genres 😁🤘🏻 Happy to see more Taylor fans! 💛🌟✌🏻

About a month ago out of the blue I decided to pick up my acoustic guitar which I had not done in years. The guitar is an Oscar Schmidt og6 that I bought new back in in the early 1990s. While this old guitar sounds amazing it has a low E string buzz on the 7th fret when it’s fretted from 4 to 6. This always bothered me. So I decided I want a new acoustic. I went and played Martins and Taylor’s. I ended up with the Taylor CE314VE- same as yours. I love this guitar. It sounds amazing. I restrung the Oscar Schmidt with the same strings as the Taylor so when I pick that up for a quick finger picking exercise, I’m on the same strings. Now since the guitar is also electric, I got an amp. Then I wanted a delay and reverb. So I went down the Strymon pedal path. I got the Timeline, Bigsky, and Compadre. I have found a completely new love for playing because of the Taylor and the sounds I can create.
