Hey pal, thanks for your videos from the UK. I have a hummingbird SJ 200 and a southern Jambo. I’m looking to get the dove in Cherry burst 💥 thanks for your videos really helpful to listen to all the guitars. I’m interested in. Thanks
Glad they were able to give you some insight on each one's sound. The Dove really does have a different sound and feel versus the Hummingbird and Taylor 417 in this video. My 2022 Gibson Dove has a sound that is seems a bit fuller than the Hummingbird. It's crazy how different they sound in a room together. But the Hummingbird and 417 both have a sound that fills a room easily and makes you want to play them daily. And that's really what it's all about when it comes to guitars.
I really like it. But I don't think it has the bass response of the J-45 Rosewood. Gibson has a sound to it. And that sound is mostly boomy when you are playing any of their dreadnought guitars. And while the Taylor certainly has a full sound to it, I feel like the J-45 has a little more in the bass than the Taylor. If you're going to be singing over it, or have a singer that sings more in the mid range than up high, I might be more inclined to recommend the Taylor.
The Hummingbird has Elixir Nanoweb 13 gage strings on it. The 417e-R has stock Taylor strings on it, which, I believe, are also Elixir on this particular model. Some AD models use D'Addario strings stock from the factory. Or they used to. But this 417 rings out really well and plays like a dream. I highly recommend picking one up and trying it, if you find a store that has one.
I've now owned 5 different Taylor models and they have all been easy to play right out of the box. I recommend them to anyone that is looking to get an acoustic that is a well rounded guitar. I think Martin and Gibson have their place in the world, but, if you want to do it all, the Taylor is a very strong option.

The HB is more my style.Taylor has woofy acoustic tone and quacky electric tone. The Gibby has better look, and legendary tone
How’s that Taylor worked out for you? I’m considering one but I can’t decide between a Gibson J45 Rosewood and the Taylor 417.

I’ve played a lot of different acoustic guitars and for me Taylor guitars have always been easier to play.
