UTILIZATION

The ebony fingerboard (all black, very narrow fibers) are very nice and play very precise.

the back of the mahogany neck is a delight to the palm of the hand (one would caress of silk) attention to take care of as it should mark very quickly (I hardly dare to ride my capo, I removed very quickly ), for pity's sake use a tripod.

Access to the acute course was facilitated by the cut, but I very rarely ride
on the other hand I've always loved the sacred cutteways giving a face to the guitar.

the weight of this guitar ... you would think it is .. a balsa or the impression of fragility .... let there be no mistake!

SOUNDS

Let us start from the Taylor acoustic:
sound balance between the bass, midrange and treble is amazing!
the sounds are brilliant, round, crystal clear.
shades than any self-respecting guitarist tries to resort to his game, no longer drowned or imperceptible.
my game and what it found Bonnifait every day.
some songs that I could not make it sound, passes at home!

Once connected (with a Marshall AS50 or live mixing desk), well it's a vamp!
if we push everything to do I would say There's too low ... our problem
is reduced slightly low for his taste.

I am also captivated by the three small knobs very quiet preamp and the Expression System ™ (I can not help but think of those big band equalizer that can be found at takamine, yamaha, etc. .... and that disfigures the guitar while providing there is not much)

OVERALL OPINION

I use this guitar for about two years and I have nothing but good things to say
about it.
tell me the price! but certainly must know what you want (here we are at the highest levels)

Finally here's how I learned:
I entered a store in Metz with a little time to kill, takamine made me some of the eye (I'll try one at about € 1000) and then I let my fingers dragged on taylor who was hooked. . vacuum without even form an agreement and was glued to the difference of sound and purity compared to the takamine.
I try but off-budget (2350 €)

7.8 months have passed and I went to Cologne (Germany) in music store, I fell back following it, and was amazed because the sound was the same!! In all respects
amazing! uh ... € 1850

I finally ordered via the net for vichy € 1790 by tightening the buttocks very hard until he arrived (the package was giant armored shipped via I do not know which operator to monitor every hour on the net .. cool)

all that to say that the three guitars that I have passed into the hands were absolutely identical both in sound quality of the product!

I Aquis lespaul a standart, and am about to invest in a 52 telecaster, vintage or 62
many guitars I have passed through the hands, but those it is like the siren, they enchanted the financial ... you made 1000 times for the rest of your life.
