Vintage Brazilian Rosewood Taylor - 814B Legends Of The Fall
Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 лип 2024
- In the early 2000's Taylor began a limited series of gutiars that have become somewhat famous. Dubbed the "legends of the fall" collection, the fall limited edition guitars boasted a unique back inlay design and exotic tonewoods that made for some absolutely killer guitars. Today's example features the coveted and rare Brazilian rosewood (Dalbergia nigra) on the back and sides. It is now illegal to log Brazilian rosewood trees and the wood that is available on the market today is rapidly decreasing in number, further driving up the price of the lusted after tonewood. While there have been many alternatives pop up over the years many guitar players still desire to own a guitar with this precious species. This vintage limited edition Taylor, with it's unique appointments and 20 plus years of aging is a great example of the offering available to the savvy guitar shopper.

Simply a feast for my eyes and ears. Truly a Legend. A guitar for all seasons, not just Fall.
Wow! Two bars in and I jumped off the kitchen chair, sprinted into the bedroom, slammed the door shut and cranked up the volume! Perfect showcasing, Cooper. And, Chris.. “just a pair a knees” is a path well pioneered for us, just follow my lead there. My word that was beautiful.
I got to play one of these last year at Seven C’s music in St. Petersburg, Fl. I think it was the best acoustic sound I’ve ever heard (despite my playing…)
Wow! What a gorgeous sounding guitar. Cooper, you played it so beautifully and really showcased the tone. It's definitely a dream instrument for me.
Holy smokes that is one cool Taylor! ❤ That won’t last long- great review guys!
Nice work Cooper, a blast from the days when Taylor was a balanced toned instrument.
My favourite channel. Always interesting and knowledgeable. And great playing. I run you demos in slow-mo and have learnt a lot! Thank you.
I would love to get or see the Wood & Steel from winter 95, the cover story “A walk thru the woods”. I Read it before purchasing my fall limited 810 braz/engelman. Older than Cooper
The sound speaks more than words. Jaw dropping
If I were in TX, I'd drop in with my 814BCE in for you to show off. It's a beauty as well. I loved seeing this one. Thanks for sharing!
Wow! This guitar sounds beautiful!!!! I have an Eastmab Ac422 with IRW back and sides and you are correct. Mine seems to sound darker. This Taylor sounds sooo balanced and lovely !❤
I had an AC422 briefly. Actually sounded too trebly to me. Sold it after a few months. Lovely guitar though.
Coopers playing is so good and the Taylor sounds great and looks fantastic.
to be honest , this is one of the most astounding guitars I've ever heard.
Loved the video guys, awesome guitar!
Wonderful tonal colors!
Beautiful!
Fantastic playing... I believe in the not too distant future we'll see Taylor circle back to X-bracing. V-class has a different sound, it's subjectively worse, but it really depends on play style and tonal preference....On some Waterloo models, Collings offers ladder bracing or X-bracing, it's a feature for the buyer to determine. Taylor went all in on V-Class bracing because Taylor's position in the market is about being innovative. I think a lot of their innovation's are just trade offs, but when your big competitors are Gibson and Martin, companies that have been around for over 100 years, you're not going to win on tradition... So Taylor goes all-in when they do new things and that's business strategy. I think that's much better for Taylor than it is for Taylor's customers.
Gorgeous guitar.
I find it hard to like New Taylor's. However, old dreads (before 2000's) have the stuff for sure. This one is sounding pretty good too!
Good looking guitar ! Picked up a X braced 814 ce a few years back when the original owner thought he needed v bracing lol, good day for me lol and I'm still to hear any v braced Taylor models that come close to the older Taylor models..
not true
This is a great Taylor. Wish they made more non cutaways.
Vintage so cool!
This Cooper guy is the real deal
Nice guitar! What is the recording microphone that Cooper and Chris use for the videos?
I was really interested in the comment about Brazilian Rosewood. I've avoided it in the past thinking the trebles would be too spiky/glassy. I have 2 Furch acoustics mahogany & Cedar that are my favourites. I also have a Taylor and a Martin in solid mahogany that I like a lot but they do lack a bit of top end. I'm wondering if my next purchase should be Brazilian Rosewoodbut does anyone know if any manufacturer makes a Brazilian Rosewood with a cedar top other than Furch?
Is the great sound the Brazilian rosewood or the old X bracing?
Are we supposed to call a guitar "piece" now? Gosh 🙄 LOL great video gents!
"Now 20 years later, _you_ have back issues..."
😂
Hi!
How much up charge do you guys charge for consignment sales?
I wanna know too!
Today I found out that Cooper Greenberg is 26 🤯
Wait a minute. How old are you, Mr. Greenberg??? *said accusatorially*
I Googled what makes a vintage guitar. It says 30 + years
OK peanut gallery. Is this guitar worth $4850?
yes, Brazilian rosewood is the Valyrian Steel of the guitar world. The wood by itself is worth that much, forget about the logo on the headstock
Absolutely
Yes!
yeah... back before 2018 Taylor was GREAT!!!! Then Bob Taylor sold out and Andy Powers took over. Since 2018 Taylors Suck! Currently, the best Taylor is the GS Mini.
Bob is not MY expert for wood or guitars. He refused to used variant-colored ebony, claiming "the public will not like seeing wood grain on fretboards." HAH. So he harvested and wasted tons of 'figured' ebony rather than letting wood-loving acoustic players that chance.
He then went on to change how all companies use ebony, though. Martin fans complain about it ad nauseam. My d-18 has some streaks on its ebony. I’m cool with that. :) not cool with wood waste! They actually mention it in this video, too, how much used to be wasted.
Brazilian Rosewood has to be the most overrated thing in all of guitar lore for my money
false it sounds superior over most east indian rosewood guitars
@@anthonysmithjr.7388 What part of “for my money” didn’t you understand?
@@falcongunner33 the same part of the for the money that you didn’t understand. for the money it is worth more that east indian and sounds better than east indian. so for the money it is worth it.
@@anthonysmithjr.7388 not YOUR money. MY money. There’s an astronomical difference in price with barely a discernible difference in sound between EIR and BR in my own experience playing both woods and anyone that thinks otherwise is a fool that’s beholden to nothing more than folklore. But again that’s my opinion based on experience.
So don’t enter the conversation as if your opinion is the only one that matters. It makes it sound like an entitled idiot.
