Taylor 100 vs. 300 vs. 600 Series Comparison - What Makes A Guitar Expensive?

This was an extremely informative video. The actual play of the guitars wasn't very audible as others have mentioned, BUT, I think the intention came through very well. Because I learned several things about the higher end Taylor's that I didn't previously know (and I play a Big Baby right now). So it's very much appreciate! Thanks!

Last year I fell in love with a 314ce at my local guitar store. I named her Gemma and have been playing her every day since.

I just bought a new Taylor 110 e W . ( May 10/19 ) . BEST Sounding and Easy To Play Guitar I’ve Ever had in 25 Years. Thank You Alamo Music Center for the Great Videos

A wonderful, thoughtful explanation and comparison. Nice work!

Great video! Useful information that is much appreciated.

Excellent video explaining the differences very clearly. I'd decided on a 214 but after watching this, I think that the 314 is worth the extra money. Thanks.

I loved the review here and hope to maybe see a different brand type comparison soon. Thanks!

Wow - some negative Nellies out there.I really enjoyed this review. I understand this is not a professional production done in a sound studio. I get that you're simply being helpful and answering a question a lot of people ask and, hey - I really appreciated the video. You obviously know a lot about the guitars and did a good job of putting it out there in a way that an average guy who is considering moving from a $500 made in Indonesia guitar to a $2800 - $4000 made in America guitar can wrap their heads around.I have owned many guitars (Ovation, Washburn, Fender, Ibanez, Samick, Larivee and Taylor to name a few) and I really like Taylor guitars. I currently have the Taylor 310 ce and since I don't really gig anymore I probably wont move up the lines, but... ya never know - that 614ce Limited is pretty sweet! I do like that nice bass responsiveness. Oh, and while the mic was a tad quiet I could very easily hear the differences between these guitars.Thanks for the vid!

Great review and explanation of the differences and similarities. Thank you so much.

Hey Chris. Dude you did a phenomenal job, I thought, in delivering a good assessment of the way Taylor Guitars Series are determined! Just found you this morning and have subscribed to your channel. Thanks again for an informative video!

Excellent video, thanks for going into depth on the differences between the guitars, very helpful. Don't sweat the comments about recording quality. It's very difficult to distinguish between those guitars in an untreated room with one mic, especially considering most people are going to listen through their computer/phone which makes it essentially worthless. You might try another video with more intentional mic placement/recording and offer that in a link or something for people who have monitors/earphones that can translate the differences you would hear in person. Regardless, well done and thanks again.

Thanks for making this, very useful. Much appreciated.

Great explanation, Chris. This is a very useful video. I do think the guitars need to be mic'd better and I liked the suggestion to play them in turn so we can better hear the difference. Overall, you make some great videos. Thanks for keeping us so well informed.

Incredibly knowledgeable and useful information! Amazing Job!

Great job! I've owned and played several Taylors since 2008 and I've never been in a chain or independent store who understands Taylors like you do. They all know about Martins and electric guitars but all they know about Taylors are that they are great for finger picking and are set up great and ready to play from day one. I had to learn all this stuff in this video on my own playing Martins, Alvarez etc. I was never satisfied. Now I have 4 Taylors and a Martin(strictly for playing with my bluegrass buddies). Also, those commenting that they couldn't hear a difference-really?? Yes it needed to be louder but the difference was VERY obvious. So thanks for the vid...

I have been watching this guys from anything and everything guitar but just recently found this video when they were just about starting. Much has changed but essence same the same, same very informative content

Great job! Learned a tonne and ready to make a more informed Taylor purchase!

very informative video mate! thanks you very much.

Lot's of good info in there, very well presented.

I have a DN3 that is awesome. I think the DN series was used to test the new bracing, relief route etc. that is now in much the current Taylor line. I love the 1 3/4" nut. The neck is wider across the fingerboard but more narrow front to back than standard steel strings acoustics. It makes fingerpicking much easier and much more accurate. My playing skills have gone way up since I got my Taylor.
