Winter NAMM 2012 News
I think we got it out the door for 8 hundred plus tax and such. Pretty ridiculous deal if you ask me. Needed some minor truss adjustment. Nothing serious. Actually it's a great guitar in terms of build. Every bit as good as my favorite taylor, which is a 526 ltd. This guitar is a value all its own. I can't figure out how Taylor can afford...
Larrivee is making some incredible stuff here. It's up there with Martins that cost hundreds more. Sure it sounds really nice but the craftsmanship on these is pretty ridiculous. Holding it in your hands, you will get what I mean. It's a no brainer to recommend this to a finger style player but I would also say look at it if you constantly c...
I have played a few of these and they all sound really really good. There's a serious amount of detail that goes into these. It's pretty impressive to behold. As good as it looks, it isn't done justice until you get your hands on it. Sure it's a lot of cash, and Martins these days are probably marked up a lot based on the name, but this part...
I think the best thing about this guitar, and most other Taylors I have played is the sheer playability. They just feel really good. The necks are very nice. Unfortunately the GS is a bit large for me. Which is too bad because I think these are the best strummers that Taylor makes. The price point is pretty good too. The GS6 is a better ch...
What more can I say? Taylor makes fantastic guitars, and even this lower end model is a winner. Anyone that has reservations of buying a Mexican Taylor should just play one - it is a great guitar all the way around! For anyone on a budget, this might be the one, and even guitarists that have loads of money to throw around would probably dig this...
Eh. It's alright, but it isn't really a special guitar. Maybe I'm just not the intended audience, but this guitar does not do it for me. Luna Guitars has historically marketed guitars toward females, particularly young ones, and I definitely do not fit the target market demographic there. But I'd be ok with this guitar if it played well or sound...
I have been a fan of Yamaha's guitar craftsmanship for quite awhile, and this guitar is no exception. They have put a lot of thought into the feature package of this instrument, and the attention to detail shows. It is a nice sounding, great playing guitar, and the finish is an added bonus. For anyone looking at a quality 12 with some bang for t...
Overall, this is a good guitar. It has a better playability and look than it does tone, but that is the type of trade-off that is made when shallowing the body depth and cutting out a dramatically shaped cutaway. The wood selection is very nice, and the fit and finish is right on for this price range. My one minor gripe is that Ibanez put a real...
Overall, this is a solid guitar. Nothing fancy, except the Fishman setup is a bit better than most guitars in this range. If the cosmetic appointments aren't a distraction, I'd recommend this guitar for a beginner or 2nd guitar, budget-range songwriter, or just a fun knock-around axe.
WOW. I can't recommend these guitars highly enough. The sound is incredible, the playability is out of this world, and they have such a great vibe! They look traditional enough from a few feet away, but getting up close, one can tell that this is not your grandpa's D-28. This is a perfect guitar.
