MGR/Scott Robertson « Taylor 710ce »
Published on 09/27/04 at 15:00I purchased my Tayolor 710ce from Guitar Center for $1899. It is a 2001 model and I purchased it in 2002. I also shopped stores against each other. I think I could have gotten the guitar for about a hundred less, but every salesman deserves to make some money.
I was looking for a rosewood guitar and had narrowed down to a Martin, Gibson or Taylor. I visited the manufactures web pages and accepted Taylor's invitation to request a video on their new neck technology. I called Taylor's offices and talked to a human! Then, I received the tape in the mail so quickly that I had to take notice of Taylor's customer service quality.
I choose against the Martin because they did not have a cut away guitar without imitation wood. The Gibson did not have the sleek precision of the Taylors. Finally, I choose the 710ce over the 810 ce because of the simplicity of design.
I would like a little more bass response from the guitar, but I understand Taylor redesigned the bracing in 2003 to bring more bass out of the body.
Top Notch. I find myself eyeing the lines and contours of the guitar and wondering how Taylor makes such a smooth guitar.
The Taylor 710ce is the finest guitar for the price. The simplicity of decorations allows me to play without drawing unmeritted expectations from listeners who judge the ability of the player by the rhinestones on the neck.
