Made in the USA with good selection of wood apparently.
Price: 840 euros, not cheap, but it's still a creep Taylor (the new GS is more than 3000 €)
The instrument is not especially light while being very good. It is perfectly balanced.
Some details are not of a level of finish on top despite Taylor's reputation in this respect.
The spruce top is a bit light for my taste, but with UV and cigarette smoke, it will probably take a pretty tint patina.
The only regret for my taste: the coating finish (slim) in satin, not gloss. For this price, we would have liked a nice shine.
The complete specification is available at Taylor
UTILIZATION
The grip is generally good, despite the fairly large volume of the guitar
The handle is a feast of natural and obvious position. But how do they do?
For access to acute, it is not a quasi-jumbo of this type that will delight fans.
I personally lowered the action a little reworking of the bridge Tusq nut and very slightly in Tusq également.Un little more tension in the neck has also improved sustain.
Unpacking, it was also necessary to tighten a bit keys that floated too.
The guitar comes with Elixir strings which I personally do not like because it has a tendency to acidity. Now the instrument is already very nervous and identified, especially near mint. I mounted the Martin Clapton Phosphor Bronze (light) and there is happiness.
After months of running a small guitar, the sound is warm and very accurate with long notes that never ends. There are harmonic everywhere and we feel that this is only the beginning before a long maturation.
SOUNDS
All records are good on this Taylor, treble course, not aggressive, but the bass level that is the difference. On any guitar, the strings 5 and 6 are often serious but poorly defined, just good enough to make the rhythm. While there, the low E is really an E, and the he sings!
When you go down the shaft is still good and it does a bit stiff until about the twelfth fret, which is not completely abnormal.
I think in five years, it should curl excellence for a purchase price more reasonable.
OVERALL OPINION
I itches, I cherish it for a month, it is soft, she gasps with pleasure. I love it.
It is very complementary to my Seagull cedar top, very soft and warm.
Ah, if I had three under, soon, I will have five sub ... and perhaps a Taylor GS.
