"My Taylor"

Overall: 4 out of 5 stars

Verified Customer zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
I took my Taylor busking this summer. It got compliments from lots of people. I LOVE my guitar.Made some decent money too.
Sound
My wife has listened to me play for years, but NEVER commented on the guitar sound till I got my Taylor. Even she was knocked out by the great sound. I'm sold on Taylors. I was jamming with another acoustic Taylor guitar player. Its the only guitar that has sounded better than mine. Of course it was double the price of mine. I'm saving for that model.
Features
I like the built in tuner and the jack that goes into the strap holder.
Ease of Use
Great sound right out of the box. Like the Elixer strings. They're all I use.
Quality
Made well, but I've beat it up a bit busking in Minnesota.
Value
I'll take a Taylor over any guitar I've ever played.
Manufacturer Support
Called the company with a question and never got to talk to anyone. I figured out the issue myself. Customer service could improve.
The Wow Factor
This guitar makes me sound better than any I've played. My audiences agree, so I'm sold on Taylor!!!

"The acoustic I've been looking for all of my life"

Overall: 5 out of 5 stars

Verified Customer zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
I've been playing electric guitar for 16 years, and in 15 years of that time, I had never found an acoustic that was comfortable enough for me to play for longer than 15 minutes (the bulk of acoustic guitar bodies cut off the circulation in my arms) AND with the tone I desired (a full, rich and even balance between bass, mid and treble) til I was recommended this one at a music store. It changed my life, and this summer I purchased one. It feels amazing, it sounds amazing. The evenness of the sound is perfect for recording in studio whether mic'd or with the pickups. Also sounds great through an amp with some tasteful distortion, chorus, reverb etc.

Musical Background:

16 years Electric guitar (6 & 7 string) 7 years Electric Bass (4 & 5 string) 10 years piano (most anything with keys in general)

Musical Style:

Just about every metal subgenre there is, folk, metal, jazz, classical, industrial.

This guitar was made stage worthy since it's inception on paper. Light as (half) a feather and protection to the moon. It has. Perfectly harmonious voice from low to high e string. It is so easily played that venmu friend with monkey pawed hands goes up and down the thing effortlessly. Every part, every piece of this guitar screams quality and carefulled building. No skimping on cost of effort in it's creation I played EVERY high end guitar at the store. I picked this up, struned it and knew, this was it. Order it now. Get a second Taylor from a list guitar for free or nearly that. It's like being paid to play. I have been performing since I was 24. I am now sixty seven. I JUST picked up the guitar lesson than ten years ago. I stink. But when I play this, people think I'm.while somebody else

Musical Background:

Been playing" since they"s babies
