Value For Money :
Excellent
In which country was it made? (United States, Japan, Mexico, France ...)
Guitar made in the United States
How many frets, what kind of micro as well as their configuration?
20 frets
14 Non-cash
Solid spruce, sapele mahogany back and sides
satin varnish on all (on the handle, it's still more convenient when you sweat that these polishes damned ...)
Bolt - I do not know why, but this provides a pleasant feeling to the touch!
Well, all this, as everyone already knows ...
Jajoute that the appearance is very simple, stripped or rustic I prefer that to a flashy guitar everywhere and gleaming ...*
UTILIZATION
The handle is it fun? Channel pleasant, although action a little high for my taste
Access to acute (recent freight) is it easy? as any guitar without a cutaway ...
Ergonomics is it good (in terms of shape, weight ...)? nothing to say, perfect for people of average body size as me, again, the guitar is very light
Do you get a good sound easy? ... no problem
SOUNDS
They are suitable to your style of music? Yes (folk - all styles, but still dominant Celtic)
What are the sounds you prefer, you hate?
These very low, medium, ditto;
Slight acute (lacks a bit of sustain, and hammer on / off pulling it difficult to ring, this being partly due to the height of the action (I repeat ...)
OVERALL OPINION
In conclusion, I think it's a great guitar, the sound is very powerful and impressive compared to the projection relatively small size of the fund, the accuracy of the notes is relentless in picking arpeggios or, contrary to was said earlier, the game seems very consistent correction and the grip is, however, in my opinion, not as easy as this: the action is set high enough (to Martin), however, this can be resolved, it's what I'm going to do next.
I use it for about three weeks I tried many other models to compare, I hesitated between this one and a Simon & Patrick 6 CW CEDAR (which I intend to purchase soon as well, nothing to do with this TAYLOR) , I finally opted for Taylor because the sound impressed me given the asking price (400 €, with discount)
Excellent value for money;
With experience, I would do this choice (but complementary guitar, for playing comfort is not optimal)
This opinion is only my opinion, because everyone knows that the material, choice and the love for a guitar - and can only be - entirely subjective.
I confirm that the sound is REALLY TAYLOR worthy of legend.
____________________________________________________________________________________________
After several months of use, and some minor adjustments (slight resserage the truss rod slightly to straighten the neck), my opinion is now as follows:
This guitar is perfect especially for all that is untied Thurs fingers (picking, arpeggios, ...); low, mid and high frequencies come out with a good balance, and definition of notes is impeccable, excellent playing comfort as well.
To play with a pick, it can do well, but this is not it shines the most in my opinion (I have a guitar that igh, a SIMON & PATRICK CW SPRUCE ELECTRIC);
I feel the sound, initially very dry, there has been some "rounding";
One thing is certain in any case: this guitar produces "the" sound at a price I seemed to defy all competition, and an entry-level model of the brand, Taylor does not make fun of the world!
