Jesus christ that wood looks amazing. I had no idea it were that complex with all the different variations of the same tree.

The last piece of maple looks amazing, I would kill for a Taylor-guitar. Hopefully I will get one some day.

It is really exciting to come encounter with this figured wood. I made a video of me harvesting a tiger maple tree that fell apart in a storm. When I walked up on the tree and could see the tiger stripes where the tree broke I was instantly delighted. It is a wonderful freak of nature.

I have much respect for Taylor guitars, though they aren’t my thing. And I have much respect for Bob Taylor’s interest in innovation and pushing the fine guitar building industry. But, good G*d, this guy is soooo boring. in spite of the interesting subject matter. Is he channeling Mr Rogers?

Is there a difference in sound?

Quote
#9 written by AndresRomeroBlog 1 year ago

yes
for example in the 414ce
when you plugged it and play it sounds like if you where playing in a room unplugged.

and in Taylor 114ce
it changes the sound when you plugged it in that when you play it unplugged.

The Maple guitars (600 series) are very bright in sound. If you want a more balanced bright and warm sound you will need to go with the 700 – 800 series (or 8 series acoustic).

The 414ce is a solid piece guitar, but it is not made of maple. The 414ce pluged in (or any series of acoustic electric) will sound different depending on how you have the ES set to include the speaker amp.

I`d like to say that I had one of your high dollar cut aways and could kick myself everyday for ever trading it. Now I am playing a cheap yamaha and miss my taylor guitar so much. You people make the very best acoustics I`ve ever laid my hands on. Not only that, they are the very best sounding. I`ll never be able to afford another one, but if one of my songs ever hit, I`m “Taylor ” bound. Great, great, great, guitars, E.J.Moore

Very interesting post!

A friend (who is a real estate agent) of a friend (also a real estate agent), was selling a piece of property. When it was discovered that all of the maple trees on the property were “curley maple” the property sold for 7 times the asking price!

I love my Taylor!

Excellent explanation of various grains, although scientifically there is no real explanation as to why this happens to only one percent of Maple trees.
