Looks - and sounds - like a solid performer, Steve. I love those instruments that are quality tools, not just expensive eye candy.

I have a 10e and I'm very happy with it. It's my first acoustic guitar...

Awesome! Great info! I am looking at upgrading my cheaper fender acoustic and this might be the one

Aye, it's the big tone and playability that stays under a grand. Serious business.

I have one of these as a back up and practice guitar to my 814CE. I love playing it. many are saying this is deeper than the big baby. well NO it is not. The body is the EXACT size of the big baby. Taylor website for the A10 is not correct and I notified them. Pull out a tape measure. 4" body depth. Exact same as Big baby. This does have the shorter scale neck and different bracing to make the tone fuller and richer. these are very comfy to play and use a full NT neck joint.

Making me want to grab a Taylor!

I wanted one for like 20 years. Was waiting for their price/performance ratio to hit this point.

You think this would work well in a bluegrass setting? I'm not looking to spend more than this price range and my OM Martin isn't up to par with the volume. Always wanted a good Taylor. I need a guitar that is loud enough and with a good high end that cuts through.

@stevesrecordingtips7247 5 ай бұрын

Good question. I don't think it's louder than most, given it's smaller size. Some folks also won't like when I say that Taylors in this range can "flatline." I mean, you can pick harder and harder, but you won't get any more volume after a certain point. For loud, nab and older Guild! They are bright, chimy, and cut through a sea of players, imho.

What do you say your best strummer guitar is in your studio? I can only afford one grear guitar.

@stevesrecordingtips7247 Жыл бұрын

Tough call. Two different players will prefer two different guitars. Do you have the opportunity to try several?

I have a Taylor Academy which has 12 gauge strings. Can I put 11 gauge strings on and still have a great sound on the guitar 🎸.

@stevesrecordingtips7247 2 жыл бұрын

Generally yes. 12's to 11's is not an uncommon swap. Your guitar may develop a fret-buzz after the swap. This can be corrected with a simple truss-rod adjustment. You can normally hire a technician to do this as needed if you're not comfortable with tools. There are YT video that show this adjustment in detail.

@richardfletcher2805 2 жыл бұрын

Thanks for answering me back right away. I have already adjusted the action to the guitar. If It does have a problem with buzzing, I will adjust the action. Thanks again for your time and help.

@stevesrecordingtips7247 2 жыл бұрын

@@richardfletcher2805 Truss rods do affect your action, but that's not their real purpose. They affect how straight your neck is. Action would adjusted by raising or lowering the bridge. Necks have a specific amount of bowing they should have. Perfectly straight is not actually ideal. This slight bow is called "relief." It has an impact on buzzing as much as your action does. So, if you still have buzz, i may recommend you seek a technician. Or, practice this on a cheap guitar first. 8)
