Taylor 114ce - Best guitar for the money?

[michele_ferraris]

Ok the forearm tattoo that matches perfectly the shape of the guitar and completes it on the top left corner is one of the most satisfying thing I've ever seen 1:50

I've used this guitar and brought this with me through living in three different states for over 7 years and I really love it. I tried a few different models back in the day and I remember they had two of these and one sounded kind of quiet and bass-y and the other one sounded loud and bright and full. I got that one. Haven't looked back. I won't need another acoustic guitar for a while, if ever. I'd recommend this guitar to anyone looking for a nice guitar that they can buy even if its their first acoustic or first guitar ever. There are few guitar like that, where you can start with it and finish with it without feeling like you're missing out, this is one of them.

I just bought a new Taylor 110 e W . $1050 in Canada, Truly The Absolute Best Acoustic Guitar I’ve Ever Played Or Owned . It’s Electric. Excellent !!!!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Tony, so glad you reviewed the 114ce. I have a 214ce steel and a 214ce Nylon. Both great for the value I paid. I'm saving for a better Taylor, but so happy you reviewed the 114ce! Thanks

Best investment is to buy a top tier Martin with some heavy wear or finish cracks for $1500-1800 and fit it with a pickup. You will never need to upgrade

i got my 314ce vbrace for 1700usd used for 7 months and still have 3 months warranty. a used guitar doesnt mean always be a less than a brandnew one. if you try your best finding a used nice one. its a super deal. i actually almost ended getting a brandnew 214ce. but really wanted a solid wood one. glad i waited. :)

I was a drummer for 20 years and gave it up about 10 years ago because I thought I'd taken that skillset about as far as I'd wanted. I then decided to take up guitar, but I was at a point in my life when I was starting to work alone in my home studio more, so I wasn't getting many opportunities to hear one acoustic guitar vice another. I have a Dean Performer and an Ibanez AEG, each costing about $300ish. I also have a Yamaha APX700, but I really didn't count that one because it's a thin body and the tone is going to suffer a little bit because of the loss of depth. The dean turned out to be my favorite and I played it for years. For the longest time I believed that no other sub $1, 000 guitar could sound any better than that Dean. But then I had the opportunity to play this one at a music store and it stole my heart. Lots of bottom end but plenty of bright tones, sustain and projection too. I was completely wrong. This guitar rocks and I walked out of the store that day with one. The tuners are buttery smooth and hold their tune well. The hardware and construction is quality throughout. There are lots of great choices in this price range from, Sigma, Takamine, Breedlove, Martin and more, and its all a matter of what sound youre looking for, but if you try this one out and love the sound, I think you will be very pleased with the purchase, as I am.

Gonna take some time, but I need this... Lol I love switching between blues, jazz and country and this guitar seems amazing for all that.

[goggleboy]

Beautiful sound and exceptional playing! Makes me want to buy one

[Edbrad]

new to guitars. bought a travel fender for £120 ($160 approx) then went and played some Taylors. Omg i thought, it was amazing. I even tried some super expensive guitars of another well known brand and it sucked by comparison. The strings just feel so smooth and don't cut you, you hardly have to press down on it, so nice to play. I feel like i must be missing something because compared to all the others I tried Taylor aren't even most expensive and even the cheapest ones are amazing

Not sure if anyone has cleared this up or not, but microphones need preamps in order to give any usable signal. Preamps boost microphone signals to line level, which is a jump of about 60-75dB. Mixing consoles and DAWs wouldn't see any mic signal without a preamp. If there's a mic involved, there IS a preamp. That being said, most preamps these days are pretty transparent, so they won't color the sound. Great video as always!

I love mine! For the price, it sounded the best to me. I've owned several guitars, including the PRS SE Angelus Custom. Not that the Angelus was bad, I just didn't like the chunky neck profile. Some people will love that about it. The tone of the PRS was different, but I loved how it sounded.

[godforever]

I have this guitar and love it! this taylor is a big upgrade from your average $300 acoustic. I compared this guitar to the higher end taylors and some other brands but I loved the sound of this and the 214ce better. definitely worth the money if you plan on buying a high quality acoustic.

[bambostarla]

Sigma for the win. I got one and I love it. Looks very simple but the sound is what really makes a guitar for me

[FriendlySpiderFriend]

I have this guitar. At the time I bought it, I was a intermediate player and this was my first “high end” guitar. Boy it has served me well. sounds fantastic, but I do think I’m in need of an upgrade. My budget is around $1400-1600 now and my next guitar will hopefully be my lifelong guitar

[kedduff]

1:19 layered/laminate for that high price??

[peakdistrictguitarplayer]

I’ve got one of these guitars. Love it. Had it about 10 years now. Never realised it was sapelle wood on the back, or that it was laminate. Guess I need to save up for a hard top! Great vid thanks!

[thomasvanderwaeren]

3:50 is there any tutorial for this riff? it's quite nice :D

[billlarkin]

Sounds just like mine. Good projection and sustain. Same buzzing and muddled sound when strumming chords, the highs seem to project more than the lows. Sounds best when playing single notes to my ears. It is and was my first guitar, I don't regret the choice. You have to start somewhere, will be looking for something warmer with a shorter scale length in the future though.
