One of the best guitar reviewers I've seen on youtube. Always enjoy it.
I need someone bad at guitar to do this so I can get an accurate idea of how it will sound when I play.
LOL it should sound great either way!
Same!!! 🤣🎸🤣🎸🤣🎸🤣 I kept getting distracted as he “repeat played”, lol… me: at what moment does one even *begin* to conceptualize that it may actually be *physically possible* to evolve/shift (??) ONE day (still very far, far away 😂) from playing basically the same 4 chords (haha meee again 🙋♀️😜) to… THAT??? What is that even called? Apparently I’ve learned enough in 4 months of playing 🎸 to catch a *serious* case of “second guitar itch” 🤣🙋♀️🤣 and of course, to watch a gazillion Taylor videos, lol… and yet somehow I don’t even know *words* that go with those 💓 sweeeeet 💓 sounds… lol danger, danger! 🤦♀️🎸😍🎸😍🎸🤷♀️😜❤️🤑🙇♀️ uggh 😉
🤣🤣🤣👍👍👍
Thanks Chris for another great review and thorough details. Thank you also for all of your patient help in the store. I play my 914ce- LTD literally every day! See you at the road show.
You are Alimo's best salesman/demonstrator, you're by far the most knowledgeable also, and a good player also, The only complaint I have is that when you play them you play so quietly I can't even hear any difference between the models. So Please dig in a little more when demonstrating the sound of the different woods and models with the most mid-range and the treble of the models I'm interested in the most.
I bought an Academy 10e in February, and I love it so much!
Tom I’m happy for you, man! Happy playing!
Thank you for the buyers guide. I recently purchased my GS Mini KOA and am very pleased with it.
No problem, Steve! Thank YOU for checking it out! They really are some of the best guitars in their category. Glad you're diggin' it!
I own a Taylor gs mini e-koa and it is AWESOME!! Eye catching guitar with beautiful tone that really stands out. This is the first guitar I have every owned about which several people have commented on how good it sounds.
Stellar guide...after this, I narrowed my focus...Stellar!!!
Really great overview of the Taylor Lineup. And now I know what all those numbers mean!! I own a 614ce, and I saw a K66ce years ago but at that time, I couldn't justify the cost. I since dreamed of getting one, but they were discontinued,. I searched for a used one and gave up and finally bought a gorgeous 562ce. Then, of course, a K66ce came up for sale and I just said "what the hell", and bought that one as well. It's coming next week!!
THE ultimate buyer's guide, really love it!! In my tiny "collection" I have a GS Mini Mahogany and a 214ce spruce/rosewood (and a pair of Ibanez 6 and 12-string, a Gibson H-bird and a Maton TE1). Now I'm aiming for a 400 or 500 series, but my wallet cries...
I love my 712ce, and after hearing how amazing that 800 series sounds, I hope to add one of those to my collection one day.
Most informative, thank you. I think I'll go Koa, what a brilliant color!
My advice is rent or borrow the BEST guitar you can for learning. That will prove to be a great inspiration to the beginner. A cheap guitar can really discourage.
I fully endorse your point and have told people the same thing and it can actually work out cheaper in the long run as you save money by not buying your way through various qualities of guitar. Plus if you really do give up you have an attractive product to sell.
Price on Taylor 512-12 fret E N cedar top guitar
Being a new player myself I agree to a point. Its amazing picking up a guitar that sounds good at any level yes. But as a beginner I find the most important thing above anything else is the neck feel and playability. 99% of cheap guitars feel cheap the minute you pick them up. Ive picked up some cheap fenders and Yamahas you could feel how cheap they were and all kinds all rattles. But on the other side of that a 1000.00 Taylor is perfect for beginner. No need to go to a 900 series for a beginner. The 214 or 314 have been on my wish list. Hoping to upgrade my Ibanez Artwood which I’m not a fan of the too warm sound.
I fell in love with the song played using the Taylor 410 Baritone-6. 21:54
Youve got me subscribe. That’s a ton of infos. Thank you bro
FANTASTIC Video................!!
Fantastic guys! Thank you
great video . very educational . thanks alamo music center. regards from royston uk !! now i have descided which taylor i will purchase after watching your great video , thanks again .
Great video very helpful 🤘
Thank you for this. Very well explained. I am going to the Taylor factory to check them out
great buyer´s guide!
good job
great quick overview
Thank you, @0200Ragman!
like many guitar players I've owned a bunch of them over the years - Ovation, Ibanez, Washburn, Fender, Gibson, etc. I eventually came to Taylor and am sold on their guitars. They are just wonderful in so many ways.
Thanks for reviewing the line up! I found that very interesting and was really fond of the sound coming from the 700 and 900 series. They just seem to carry their resonance well with nice tones.
This is helpful in thinking about the next addition to the family :).
Thanks for tuning in, Kevin! :D
Me too man they just feel and sound great.
Many years ago I went guitar shopping and took a good two weeks to decide. I tried out Gibson, Martin and Taylor. Hands down the Taylor 710CE sound and feel blew all the others away . It was a the best acoustic I had every owned. I got laid off like 5 years after I got it, I had to pay my car insurance and had to sell it. I tore my heart out to do it . But I vowed to get myself another Taylor before I die! I would like to add that I bought it from Guitar Center and I didn't know at the time was they came with gig bag and case. The sales man charged me for the case. But when i buy my next one I iwll not let them soak me for it. Again Good guitars I do suggest don't buy on line. You have to see if it feels good in your hands. And thanks Alamo for this video
710 should have come with a hardshell case, not a gig bag.
@@GreatCanadian2011 they got him again
Excellent information
Wow, this is exactly what I've been looking for. Great video, thank you!
There are no comments made about the saddle and nut material, but those in the know should be able to find that info out. In fact, they should probably know based on price. Taylor guitars have an incredible sound. Great guitars!
Taylor makes great guitars with top notch tone. Their greatest strength is ease of playability. Knowing what I know now, I wish I had bought a Taylor (1.75" nut) to start learning guitar. That said... my go to acoustic is a used 2008 Martin D-28 Marquis with Adirondack top. Best sounding guitar I could afford & met all my spec wishes. I'll never sell it.
Thank you for sharing this video it was loaded with tons of information. You are very knowledgeable and love watching all your videos! Quick question- I just recently purchased a Taylor 310ce -L4 (2003). I do not know the special limited appointments for this model. How would I go about finding this info. It appears to be a Cedar top with mahogany BAS. Any help would be greatly appreciated :)
Great video. Very informative
Thanks for watching!
I love Taylors.
It helps that you are such a damn good guitar player and you are personable as hell. If you are ever in Colorado Springs I'll buy ya a beer.
Great help dewd thx
Very thorough demo. I own a 214ce K DLX and love it. But I want a 914. WOW.
If I drive it off the lot will it depreciate 10% ? haha
I'm a beginner (started learning 1 year ago but haven't been consistent enough with it). I currently have a pretty basic Fender CD60S Drednought.
I'm really considering getting a Taylor 224CE as there's a fairly big sale on it right now (almost 400$ off) from one of the local retailers.
Is it overkill for me?
My thinking is: if I get a great guitar, I'll be more encouraged to get better, spend more time (and more consistently, crucially) on it and eventually learn with a quality instrument instead of cheap piece. Keen to hear thoughts from experienced players.
Great !
The best thing about a Taylor by far is the neck reset. When mine came from Mexico to WV mid Summer, it was 1/8th" high at the 12th. If the guitar was made solid like the others, that guitar would have been over. ~Owner of a Taylor 110e
PS: Enjoy your video's very much, thanks. Kev (UK)
Thank YOU, Kev!
What song do you play? I love it :D also please make one but with the v class versions. I’m thinking of getting a 414ce Ovangkol v class.
Can you do an updated version of this? :-)
Awesome video this video sold me on the 714 bought a 714 ce vclass best thing i ever did my next guitar will be a k14 be
thx now i know what taylor should i buy..👍
alexa piers what one did you get?
I wanted the 314CE, but couldn't afford it. So I worked down the line to see which one sounded closest for cheaper. I had access to like a half dozen or so lower end full sized Taylor models(1's and 2's) on the huge wall of acoustics at a different guitar store. I wanted a cutaway like the 314CE but after comparing them all 1 after another against the 314ce there, the 114E NO cutaway sounded the closest. I ate it and skipped the cutaway. Best decision I made. This is great sounding for a lower end guitar I actually can afford. The dynamic range almost scares me when I hit it hard and it barks. I am glad I got the Sapele back and sides because the new ones are a bit different from what I wanted.
21:04 Ebonouie... actually laughed out loud at that, great video though
Mother of God that chord sound at 43:15 (really 43:16..but need a sec to get to it to hear it)
Thank you for the excellent video 😊
The Lord’s love + grace be with you
Hope you are all well and resting in Jesus saving love + grace 😊
Blessings friends 😊
Does anyone know the difference between the Performance and Advanced Performance bracing?
I have been playing on GS Mini as a beginner ,now I want to go for a better Taylor guitar.
which one do you recommend?
I own 20 guitars. My acoustics are Larrivee, Alvarez Yairi (koa), a wood reso, and a 1967 Epiphone. I'm currently shopping for a Taylor. Taylors have beautiful intonation. It would be nice to hear these through a Fishman Loudmouth or Roland-AC to hear the more subtle nuances. Thank you for this review. ***

My guitars baby taylor 2015 614ce 2018 814 ce dlx v brace 2015 816 ce 2015 914ce 1980 martin d28 I love taylor guitars
I have my eye on a 12 right now. It would be my first guitar.
Have you compared a GS Mini vs a Martin Koa Little?
Thank you for such a great breakdown of the Taylor line. I do have a question though - unless I missed it - the necks and scale lengths: are they all the same? Obviously, the baritone has
a longer scale, but how much longer isn't mentioned. I wonder if the nut width, thickness etc.
is the same on all of them. Thanks again
Thank you! Of course I want a 900 series guitar, but likely never will own one.
Dude just get one. Its not THAT expensive and will last you a lifetime.
what if i'm a loop live player and in need of something versatile but also with an warm acoustic tone?
I really love my Taylor 214ce-cf - it is so natural and easy to play. I demo it in the Taylor "Spaces" Series episode on my page - feel free to listen and share your thoughts on the sound.
I have a 110 and 214ce
My guitar is a 2016 vintage 414ce-R. It has the fullness and note specific definition that is the hallmark of Taylor guitars. Try this, go to the Taylor website and listen to comparisons of the 414ce-R against any other Taylor model. You will be astounded how well the 414ce-R stands up against the best in Taylor's line - including the new V series guitars.
I really love Taylor guitars and love the 800 and 900 series. Sadly, I am never going to be able to own a $4000 guitar. I’m not a professional and only play in churches around me and sometimes on the east coast only because that is where I am from. I’m in love with the warm tones of the 800 and 900 series. Can any recommend a guitar close in quality sound and playability for less.
Aaron Tooley you should try faith guitars, try the high-gloss series. Solid rosewood with a screwtop. They sound awesome. Especially for the price.
I know it's still expensive, there's also rosewood on 400 series (414ce-r)
Furch?
Aaron Tooley try check out maestro raffle series. They sound amazing, even better than many high end taylors to my ears. Also note that I own a 210 taylor and loved it since day one. But the maestro really sounds better and much cheaper.
I have a Taylor 814ce that I bought in 2000. It has the old Fishman pickup. Great guitar. Are the newer models better?
Hi, how much did you pay for that 814ce back then? I remember wanting to get an 814 about 8 years ago and I think they were about 2k, now they’re selling for more than 3K. Wonder if I remember the price wrong or did they go up that much in value in a short amount of time.
@@SunnyDiegoProduction I think I paid about 2300.00
Can you update this video with regions? Hard to navigate. Hard to know which guitar if you jump around.
What''s the name of the guitar lick he is playing?
My son has a Taylor guitar. I think he said it was 10c. My question is this... his batteries are new in it, but he is getting LO Showing. What does that mean?
The trouble is they all sound really nice and I'm going to buy a Taylor I've got about 11 hundred pounds UK to spend ??
What is he playing on these guitars? Would love to learn
Same
499 for the gs mini koa-e?? Ah I should've bought it when I had the chance. Has gone up in price significantly
SIR I won't This songs Chords
I LIKE this Song
Do you ship to india ?
The new 700 series tho
Why no prices on 100,200 300, finely 400 price.thank you! 500, 600,700,800,900 prices are important just as much as the rest of the guitar thank you!
Great video. I've had the tune you're playing stuck in my head for a few days and I love it. What is it?
I'm interested in that tune as well. Please share.
Is cory trevor your real name or are you a trailer park boys fan? Also he said it was something he saw somebody at taylor play live at a demonstration and this tune is his interpretation of that form memory
I bought a 214ce SB Dlx and the set up was terrible. Shaved the bridge and now it plays beautiful. Got a Gibson J15 that plays better and has a fuller sound. The Taylor is a bit lacking in bottom range.
looking at a 312ce what do you think
The 312ce is a great guitar. It could be just the ticket - depending on what your goals are. The 314ce is more versatile and the 316ce is a flat picking monster. How do you play? What kind of music, etc. Email me and we can chat about it. christopher.mckee@alamomusic.com
Alamo Music Center I'm a beginner
Which ones are made in the U.S.?
All except the 100 and 200 series
I wish they made a classical big baby
What strings do taylor come standard with?
Rocky Cook i reckon elixir
Wish you could get a full solid wood GS Mini. (UK)
Whilst this would be nice, part of the reason the GS mini has so much depth is because of the scalloped bracing, something they only do with the layered versions of their guitars and is probably much more difficult to do with solid wood.
Thank you Jamie, your reply much appreciated, l have a spruce GS Mini and it is probably my most used guitar. Kev (UK)
Yeah, it seems like the top is more of a factor in sound production than the body.
Let me correct this. All Taylor guitars feature scalloped bracing. The only thing that the laminate guitars have is a lack of bracing in the back. Instead the backs have a slight bowl shape pressed into them. This was originally done by Guild back in the 60's and aids projection while also creating enough rigidity to remove the need for back bracing.
A solid wood GSmini wouldn't be realistic cost wise but is something you can kind of get now. A Taylor 322 12-fret is all solid wood and roughly the same size as a GSmini. About an inch longer.
Anyone else notice that after the 100 series he stopped telling the prices
hmmm....
@@tobiasbrunner4720 not true, he missed a couple though
Taylor 317.
Ivory inlay ???!!! Ivory is illegal unless it's reclaimed !!!! I hope he means 'ivoroid' !!!
I own an es175 and it appreciated unlike that Mercedes or BMW, do yourself a favor and drive a basic car and play a 4000$ guitar, it will be worth 6000$ in no time
Couple years ago, I bought a tiller guitar from a reputable music store two weeks after I got the guitar it cracked severely in the middle. The store could not get Taylor to change the guitar for me. I tried to call the company myself with no success a week went by it cracked again I will never buy a taylor again.
shame on the Taylor company! The minute my Taylor was reported to the store all of a sudden the next day I went back and they had humidifiers in the store. I was not told anything about that. It’s a shame that a rich company like that cannot honor their product. It was not a cheap guitar, it should’ve at least lasted for two weeks. It’s disgusting. They ripped me off.
Don’t endorse, Taylor guitars that when they rip their customers off
You consistently have great reviews on your channel. But you also consistently mic the guitars very poorly. Sack your technician and find someone who can mic your demos properly and SOUND CHECK before recording. Thank you.
