No disrespect intended whatsoever but I have a 180 degree opinion FWIW. You could spend half as much and get 3 times the tone.Īgain, not a personal attack just my opinion based on playing all the Taylor cedar tops (nylon and steel string). Even the recording posted above by nbarker204 illustrates that very clearly. The sound is cold, sterile and thin, the last thing you want from a nylon string guitar. The cedar top should impart warmth to the tone and it doesn't. The Taylor is a beautiful guitar, it's true but there isn't anything about those models that is worth the money. You get a lot for your money, from the $1600 314 to the $5000 914.No disrespect intended whatsoever but I have a 180 degree opinion FWIW. Simple thing to keep in mind for any Taylor that's not built to order - they're made for intonation, comfort and playability with the best sound possible from the materials used. They aren't "classical" guitars in the strictest definition, but they're easy for a standard guitar player to pick up and play, unlike the "true classical" guitars. There are also koa nylon strings to be found, rarely.K-24ceN, k-26ceN are two I've played. They're similar in sound to a spruce top 814/914, same basic materials. NS-24's are really nice, cedar or spruce top with Brazilian rosewood back and sides, no frills or fancy inlay.
