love mine it replaced a ibanez acoustic that i loved and had a very unfortunate accident.
Sounds pretty bad tbh
I walked out with one of these after spending many hours trying out guitars. Love it!
just bought one today
This review is stellar ????????????
You can see some YouTube videos comparing the old 314CE X bracing vs. the new V bracing. The old C X bracing sounds a whole lot better, fuller and with a much better bass response.
Guitar sounds beautiful
Shut up and play your guitar!
Gotta love Chris McGee, great demos, but maybe a little verbose!!!
Whenever I play a v-class Taylor in the store , or even in my studio they sound muffled compared to my x-braced Taylors. Not louder – softer, and the intonation issue goes back to Bach and tempered tuning – the further apart notes are the further apart they are from true in tune – no kind of bracing pattern can change that. Taylor guitars have impeccable intonation whether x or v braced, but if you want a full, rich sound – find an x-braced
I have the same guitar (non V class) but anyway, the best guitar in this price range. Simply amazing!
it is true that V is more precise, but everyone must ask themselves what was sacrificed. In my opinion the warmth of the woody tone (typical of Martin). The problem is that Taylor X already had a bright tone, and this new V has even more. Precise, focus … but cold. Ok, i am "sofa player" and i need "time machine". For professional player V is solution. Maybe.
Hello there. I truly love Taylor guitar and pickups as well but there is something that I would love to be changed for myself. Does Taylor have a pickup with installed microphone+piezo? Honestly, I don’t fancy the way ES2 Picks all the percussion sounds. So is there a solution ?
Excellent discussion and your most beautiful demo! Very nicely done!
The guys at Driftwood guitars tell me you all are just trying to kiss Taylor’s ass to sell more guitars and that the 324ce is just a v class gimmick. I know you and coop are very knowledgeable and Driftwood I’m sure is just envious of your store and Taylor brand. But I just wondered again your thoughts about their comments and the v class bracing as they say it’s crap. I disagree as well as you but what is their deal? I think Taylor makes the best guitar on the market at least when it comes to factory style guitars. I know some of these companies make very few guitars and they are done very well but wow they are so pompous. Love love your videos but honestly do you truly like the v class as well as the x bracing? Thanks!
Just received mine 3 days ago and it’s jeopardizing my relationship with girl… I can’t put the damn thing down!!! ????????
Please somebody buy this to me its been 3 years still can’t manage to get one
Gosh, as much as I’ve considered Martins, to me, nothing compares to the sound of a Taylor. It’s crisp, loud yet tamed in a very pleasant way. To me, Martins just sound muffled in comparison.
I love mine
I've only been playing for 5 months and am fortunate to be able to afford one of these. If you can grab one, you won't be disappointed!
Buy an Eastman AC122-1CE instead. Same tonewoods for under $800. All solid wood! Taylor can't beat this price point for almost identical sound quality.
You get less bass
First time owning this newly improved versions I experienced first phase of low volume when plugged into the pedals but somehow had to reset to clean mode to get the reverb.
I had this four months now I’m enjoying the no dead notes on the spots and the most excelled Guitars the newest innovation.
I went into my local store with a $1000 budget for a Yamaha LL-series. But also looked around a bit. I knew from youtube videos, that really I would like a Taylor, but will probably never afford one. BUT!
On my way out, I briefly sat down with both a 312CE and 314CE. I left empty handed and now need to increase my budget somehow with and additional 1000 dollars… (I recently spent 2000 dollars on a new digital piano too, thus I am a bit strapped for cash).
But omg the sound from the 314CE was heavenly! There is no other option now.
I can attest that this guitar is absolutely amazing. Additionally, the intonation is spot on. The sustain and the bell like tones are perfect.
Man the neck on this beauty is just a wonder to play on. Really makes playing so much easier and smoother
what gauge strings do the 314ce come in?
Sure wish Chris had done a side by side with an X brace 314. I heard that comparison on another channel and the X brace ate the V brace alive.
last of us 2 🙂
How well is it with singing while playing? One man acoustic gig?
Any thoughts on this guitar vs the 414ce-R vs a 224ce-k dlx special edition? I know the pricing from the 224ce-k to 414ce-r is a wide range but really trying to figure what the right long term investment is for someone who is a beginner and primarily wants to learn to play worship songs with family and small groups. I have this saying “if you don’t buy nice you’re gonna but twice” and so really looking for a long term investment on a guitar that’ll stay in the family a long time. Thanks. Also awesome videos! I’ve learned a lot from them.
Amazing Grace
Amazing guitar
Hi Chris, I moved from Texas to Seattle, totally different weather! would you still recommend a humidifier for this guitar?
Only took you 8 minutes into a 14 minute video to play the fuckin thing. Jesus Christ bro learn when to shut up
Damn I wish I had the money to buy one of these, I would definitely get the Last of Us version, but either way it's such a nice guitar
Nice review. Thanks
you play brilliantly
Goodbye Taylor.
You had a good run.
My 10yr old 314 x braced sounds
Better and warmer to my ear . I may be wrong.
Just bought my 314ce V brace today. Love it.
I am very interested in this guitar. I have heard that if the humidity isn't just right, that the neck will split. Is this true? If so, what is the best way to keep your guitar humidified?
I did a side by side with the 314ce and a Martin D18 and it was no contest. I’ve wanted a Martin dreadnaught ever since I started playing guitar, and I had to choose the Taylor for the tone and playability.
Martin has the heritage, and that means a lot. I ultimately had to go with the better guitar.
This is not a totally accurate sound these taylor guitars will get a much better sound in time. If you like it now just give it a year of playing
