NGD - finally got myself a Taylor!

What's Hot
BucketBucket Frets: 7749
in Acoustics
Bought this 114CE from GAK earlier. They knocked the price down to 650 for me as well, because it's an older model with the now-discontinued pickup system which is being replaced soon. Still sounds nice plugged-in, and it's my first electro-acoustic so it's all a bit new to me anyway. It's so nice to have a good giggable acoustic at last. You can't go wrong with a Taylor really, can you? Amazingly consistent and nice-feeling guitars, even lower-priced ones like this.


Nice little bit of distinctive patterning in the grain behind the bridge too, I like that.

    Love me a Taylor, I think for a predominantly electric player they can't be beaten.

    I actually prefer the 1 series Taylors to most of the higher end ones, for some reason - not played a bad one yet!

    HNGD! I got a Big Baby about 10 years ago and I'm still totally happy with it.

    Id just like to point out that, despite all the video and DNA evidence, it genuinely wasn't me, your Honour  !

    As an electric guy, when I was looking for an acoustic to do some large stage touring type work I bought a Taylor 314ce. I run it through a Boss AD5.

    It just works. Sounds great in a band mix. Doesn't go out of tune. Plays like buttah which is important when changing between electric and acoustic a lot and has good upper fret access.

    Job done!

    It's maybe not the warmest guitar to sit and fingerpick but I do enjoy it and we'll bleh, it really sounds great with the AD5 plugged in to a PA

    Which sounds like a pretty fundamental requirement in any guitar - but amazing how rare it can be on a guitar straight out of the factory.

    PRS electrics are similarly impressive in my experience - once you've stretched the strings, I hardly ever have to touch the tuning.

    My 'behind the sofa' GS Mini is the same - seems to say in tune forever.

    Lol yup. My Custom 24 doesn't budge either. Even when the strings are rusted and old.

    I've literally had the Taylor come off of tiur trucks and airplanes into my hands able to do the first song without touching the machine heads (albeit a half step down when on the plane for safety!)

    Nice! 

    I've had a 814CE for some years now, lovely guitar.

    Nice one.

    I've had a Big Baby Taylor with a Fishman Rare Earth HB pickup for close to 10 years and it still delivers. They may cut back on techniques and finishes on the lower -priced ones but NOT on the sound and playability.

    Enjoy it C
