Ten Things you should know about Taylor Guitars BEFORE you buy one!

Had a mini Koa GS for about a month. I was quickly sold on Taylor so I took the plunge. Traded it in for a 414ce V Class Special Edition Grand Auditorium. 3k? Totally worth it. Bucket list stuff man. I'm back to playing twice a day before and after work. 10 times a day on off days. It's a couple weeks old so it's still fresh but I'm like a kid on Christmas morning everyday now. It's a powerful thing man.

I have had the privilege of knowing Bob Taylor since he was making one guitar at a time in his garage…he (and his family) remain dear friends. I have never known anyone with a greater sense of personal integrity and generosity than Bob Taylor. Amazing individual and family.

The other thing you should know is that if you buy one, you’re probably going to buy another, and another, and another. Especially if you keep watching videos like his one.

I'm a professional violinist so I have a very keen sense of hearing. I'm self taught on guitar. I've also had 11 hand surgeries due to all the high end violin playing. I first bought a Gibson then went back out of curiosity just to look at others. That Gibson was a Hummingbird. Believe it or not, I picked up many Taylor's and with the help of an accomplished guitarist sales person, I picked the 114ce. WOW!!!! so easy to play and the bass, midrange and higher end sounds blend beautifully. I'm one happy owner.

I visited the El Cajon plant in June. What a standard of excellence they have. They allowed us to take pictures anywhere except where the cutouts of the v-neck bracings were. In their showroom you could and were encouraged to play any of their models. Looking forward to owning a Taylor some day.

Walked into my local guitar store and on the whole wall of acoustics you could immediately tell which ones were Taylors just by the stunning beauty of them.

I don't own a Taylor guitar, still I admire when people commited themselves to achieve perfection in any sense. I strongly reject products which are developed just to be sold. The guitar is to be owned, loved and enjoyed, thus perfection and innovation should be considered in all aspects. Nice post. Thanks for sharing.

Probably the most honest, genuine, knowledgeable and informative video on Taylor guitars I've watched. Thank you 🙂

I met Bob, in the early '80's, bought my T-3 IN El Cajon, in 2013. My friend who bought the T-3 has, 8 Taylor 12 strings, and I don't know HOW many of their 6 strings! All guaranteed for life!

What an unbelievably informative video! I went searching out Taylor guitars because I've always loved the size and aesthetics, then after hearing them in comparisons, I was really attached to the grand auditorium. Then I saw this video, and I'm sold. Innovative, playable, great sounding, sustainable, responsible.

Just got my first taylor guitar, purchased a big baby taylor, love it, in about 10 year's im planning on getting a high end taylor, thanks for the great video.

They make Gabriella Quevedo smile... that's good enough for me!

I've been playing Taylor's for 27 years , have 5 now, they have always been great , they keep getting even better.

I just bought new Taylor 414ce-V Class in a left hand model.The guitar features the new engineered V bracing. The I one got was in the sun burst it's absolutely gorgeous. I also own a Taylor -T5 in a red burst these are very different from one another. The sound on the V-Class is so beautiful I just can'r stop playing it. Thank you for your review.

I already have a Taylor - I am here to uplift my Positive Confirmation Bias 🙌😊🎶 Great Video BTW.

No one does better reviews on the web than Chris McKee. Well done.

I have an Academy 12e and love it. Not as expensive as some of the higher models but a great guitar nether the less.

I was a Martin guy till I played a 12 fret cutaway Taylor - now I’m a fan

Just bought the US made Taylor 314ce LTD. It looks, feels, plays and sounds wonderful.

First of all I can't thank you enough for your videos. I don't think I missed even one. I decided for my birthday in August I wanted to learn the guitar and have visited local stores and played many acoustic electric guitars, trying to decide on what I really love. The minute I picked up a Taylor 214ce dlx I was hooked. I waffled and tried to talk myself into a Yamaha (good too) but went back yesterday and I am the proud owner of the Taylor I mentioned above. I know loving what I have will make learning just that much better!! My only wish was that I could have gotten to San Antonio to Alamo Music but I'm in Northern California and I wanted to play my guitar prior to purchase. Thanks so much again for your knowledge and leading me to the guitar I was meant to have!
