All user reviews of 4/5 for the Taylor 814ce

This guitar is made in the USA. Around the time I bought it was the top model of the brand ... this is one of the first fully conceived guitar on computer and computer-machined to be perfect. The assembly is époustoufflant such as the connection head and handle which is done by a system of mortise and tenon sawtooth TES TES fine. The choice of Precious and noble woods make it an exceptional instrument and that the high price is justified.

UTILIZATION

As with all Taylor sublime and the handle is easy to play. I know better but they are manufactured by Julien Gendre .. the maker of the Cherbourg area.

SOUNDS

The sound of the lens 814 is balanced and gets better with time. The guitar has a good quality preamp and two microphones for sound recording that you can mix at leisure. That happiness.

OVERALL OPINION

Purchased in 2003, I use it every day, we finally, unwanted every day my daughter and me.
I had a lot of guitars since I was 13 years (and I am 53). This one I keep for ever.
What I would change? Perhaps a guitar from Julien (see above) if I could afford it )

Electro-acoustic legend (an instrument for serial)
Table Sitka, Rosewood back splint therefore a fairly bright sound and powerful despite the cutaway.
The term system system does not suit me because the output level is very low and you have to push the amplification at the risk of noise.

UTILIZATION

Handle taylor forces, its use is exemplary.
The typical form x14 taylor is a good compromise his / ergonomics / design,

SOUNDS

His brilliant (an amateur's Martin pass his way)
Good power for this format
Original settings very neat

OVERALL OPINION

It is the pearl in my arsenal of guitars in recent years. I would do the choice Taylor again but I enjoy working in 714 and 814 (I did it also with a 12-string and almost with a nylon)
To get better I would need a luthier or guitar sound will change radically.
