I just did the same thing. I knew right when I played it that it was the one I wanted. Nothing else compared.

Hi,, are you still happy with it?

@@TheGreenguy85 I've had mine 2 year now and love it. The tone it gives is stunning for the money, and playability is great

@@alexzandz Got mine about 4 months ago.. and I cant agree more.. best guitar I ever owned!

Does it sound full?

I guess im asking randomly but does someone know of a method to get back into an Instagram account..? I somehow lost the account password. I would appreciate any assistance you can offer me.

I am not beginner player do you prefer this guitar? I am thinking to buy this guitar at abroad I dont have oppurtinity to play this guitar. Is it beginner guitar ? do you have idea ?

I know I shouldnt ask " do you prefer ". I should try this at music shops but there isn't a oppurtinity to try. In my country It's hard to find left handed guitars fuck this shit

Tuna Korkmaz this is like a $650 guitar, you can get a good sounding acoustic for like $200-$350 but it won’t sound this good. Taylor’s are the best sounding guitars out there. So not a “beginner” guitar in my opinion.

well look at it like a long time investment. If it plays well and sounds good( which these do bought one for my boy and I own a 814ce but love playing this! ) then it is price that is worth it. With a good playing and sounding guitar you will practice and play more than with your Ibanez. I know this! plus quality! same build quality and neck design as the high end Taylors. IF it ever needed a neck reset can be done in around 20 minutes. The Ibanez?? throw guitar away as it is not worth the price of a glue in reset.

i decided to get the taylor 114 instead. i felt that the sound was more dynami

@@jonahkidwell702 I can help you justify your purchase. In EU the academy costs 699 euros(best price from the internet). Thats 100 euros more. The Taylor 114e costs 799 euros and the Taylor 114ce 899 euros. Also the diy neck reset makes these guitars a bargain if you consider the second market value and the average salary in USA.

Thanks!

Does it feel tiny in your hands like a youth guitar?

@@redlycan23 No, it feels like a perfect size honestly.

Just bought this after comparing it to 3 Martins in the price range. Not even close.

Why u sell this?

@@muhammadihzahutajulu I wanted a more premium guitar that feels and sounds better.

@@Shauna.l.j how ur experience with the taylor?

@@muhammadihzahutajulu Feels amazing. More comfortable when holding, sounds better, Makes me want to play more. I dont think I will sell this one :)

@@Shauna.l.j have u ever played taylor big baby or martin dx1e? Iam confused which i will buy of this Three.

Is it good enough to gig? They keep saying it is a beginners guitar.

If it buzzes (and bothers you) or feels (subjectively) hard to play. If you aren't sure, just got to a store and ask or try out a bunch of others and see if they feel easier to play.

Welcome!

I just bought the Taylor 10e yesterday to use as a "couch guitar" that I don't have to worry about while at the same time having a very comfortable guitar that plays with ease and sounds great. I can leave it on a stand for handy practice - just grab and play. I have a few very high end Martin dreadnoughts which I have to be very careful with in order to keep them pristine. Of course this Taylor doesn't have the tone of those expensive Martins, but it still has a very respectable full and resonant tone while being Uber-easy to play. Fingerstyle? That is the only way I play! Love the response of this little guitar for finger style. I do wish the fingerboard width was 1-3/4 " at the nut, but I don't have any problem with this fingerboard at all. My old worn-out arthritic fingers love the easy action of this neck. The A12 is theoretically designed more for fingerstyle, but I have found that the tone of the dreadnought body gives me the fuller, beefier tone I crave, and the lows don't overpower the highs as is often the case with dreadnought body guitars. Perhaps this is because this 10e is a bit smaller than a full sized dread. Best advice: Go to a Taylor dealer and try the different models side-by-side and see what you think. You'll love the Academy series Taylors. They are great sounding, easy playing comfortable guitars for a great price.

The GS Mini is a smaller guitar with a smaller scale length. It's a great guitar. But if you are new to guitar, you may not want to train your hand to the smaller scale length, as the frets are closer together and makes playing some more advanced stuff a little tough if you have a bigger hand or longer fingers.

goodness gracious thank you for the kind words. I do not have tablature for these pieces. Perhaps at some point I can take the time to write it all down. -Chris McKee

The 110e is a full sized/full scale guitar whereas the 10e is a 5/16 scale as mentioned with a deeper body than the big baby. If this is your first guitar, either one would be good. From there you can figure out what you like and where you want to go.

Both are good . Buy the 114

You have got a newer version of that model. Same ist true for the Tylor Baby. Headstock overlay design change from black to brown.

Yes. 1.75 inch nut width would be better for you. Check the Martin's.

Did you bought 114e or A10e? I m in the exact same situation and i can t seem to decide man. I don t know which one sounds better

@@davethebrave0 I'm late to this party, however...I have the 10e, and I only play fingerstyle. Love the guitar! If you have large fingers you might find the neck/fingerboard to be a bit too narrow. Ideal width for fingerstyle is 1/3/4" at the nut.

It's a little bit smaller.

Then your martin must be ineffective

I know. I have tried a $2500 Martin and it didn't feel like 2500

The guitar comes strung with 12-53 Elixir light 80/20's. If you liked the tone of the guitar when it was new, replace the old strings with the same strings. Be sure to re-string the guitar properly so as not to kill them prematurely. If you are not sure how to do this, watch the video on the Taylor website.

@@1funkybasslady I guess I hadn't appreciated the sound and feel , always being a campfire guitarist.. But now, cleaning and conditioning the fretboard and guitar and stressing the strings upon install makes a huge difference .. And humidity levels etc.

@@smrob I'm not sure what you mean be "stressing the strings" but it IS important to crimp the strings at the peg before cutting them off in order to keep the wraps from slipping resulting in killing the strings. Try different brands of strings to find the tonal response of the guitar you are looking for. Good luck!

If you are looking for a specific pick guard I would recommend you click on the link below (: www.taylorguitars.com/taylorware/category/for-your-guitar/parts/pickguards

It's a difficult task (:

Taylor typically puts Elixir Phosphor Bronze 12 Gauge (Light) strings on all their guitars from stock. That would be my likely guess.

@@davidgallagher5233 Gotcha, I ended up picking up some Elixir bronze ultra thin nano webs, although I went with 13-54 gauge I think it was. I like them, gives it that ring I had when I originally bought

Yes. I played both in the store, and this one is FAR better.

@@bethk.7372 Thanks, Just bought the 10e no need to plug in sounds great as is.

Dale G. Did you buy though?

You can easily add a pickguard.

$8

Hey Virgil, Taylor chooses to use a pickguard or not as an aesthetic choice. They offer clear and tortoise shell pickguards as an option that can be purchased and applied after the fact. There is also a static cling option.

Thank You for the info. I thought maybe it had something to do with the tone of the guitar, why they didn't put on a pick guard.

Really easy. It's quite a short and narrow feeling neck. Action is relatively low for a an acoustic. Honestly love mine. The value for money is unreal. I bought mine new but they can be had now for even less second hand. The only thing is that it doesnt look flashy in the slightest, but if that doesnt bother you go for it

Jemmy Fahrudinsyah this one is better sound. Fuller

I wouldn't say either of them is necessarily better, However the Baby is 15/16 size so less money goes into it. I think the best way to make decisions like this is to have someone play you an audio sample of each without telling you which is which and making your decision based off that.

I played them both today at a GC and they have a similar sound but the 10e has a bigger range of tone on both treble and the bass ends. 10e all the way.

@@dumbaldtrump4533 is it a full sized body?

@@PillsBuryDoughBoy_ yup

@@dumbaldtrump4533 No, it isn't. Watch the video again!

Really good actually.

Of course! Cheap too

Yes, indeed! We have a link in the description :)

Olind literally just started searching comments for this lol wish i knew

@@stephenzimmerman193 Same, he's played this in other videos but haven't been able to find out what it is

I think the songs Chris plays in these videos are his own.

The brand is elixir, but I do not know the gauge

@@ayosup5326 Elixir 80/20 lights 12-53 gauge

Just the shape, the 10 being dreadnought shape and the 12 being a grand concert shape (a bit more curvy). In terms of features I believe them to be the same

@Johannes DeMoravia The guy was just observing what was true. The mic was TOO close to the guitar, and the recording engineer didn't set the recording level accordingly. Andre's improper spelling of "too" was obvious, but perhaps this is due to an incomplete understanding of English which, by the way, is one of the most difficult languages for foreigners to learn. He didn't need your criticism. That was rude of you. By the way...as long as you are going to criticize him for his spelling error, you might take a look at your own sentence about being "too" close to the fire. You said "If I get "too" close to the fire I gonna burn up." "Proper" English would dictate that your comment should have read "If I get "too" close to the fire I'M going to burn." Don't be so quick to criticize others! This is supposed to be a friendly place for folks from all around the world to feel free to post their observations, questions, concerns, etc. about the content of the videos without fear of being pounced on for their grammar or spelling errors.

An original by Chris (:

$599 It's on sale for Black Friday (-10%) at Sam Ash. I just bought one.

Work hard and stay mad👍

I did and I wanted one:( I’m Poor

That's attributed to elections having consequences. You ain't seen nothin' yet!

BlitzKrieg 21 no, this one is fuller. Comparison would be 110 series

I mean it’s 700$ now technically

The Dreadnought Junior doesn't sound better than this guitar despite its all solid wood, it's just different. Martin guitars have lower finishes than Taylor guitars around this price range. And above all, I prefer the neck construction of Taylor guitars: no flaws, no humps, very easy to reset when the guitar gets old.

but it doesnt have a bevel which cost taylor more construction time

Most people who would take your advice would become thoroughly discouraged and quit before they ever had the chance to experience the true joy of playing guitar. The pain and inability to get a decent sound would be a huge turnoff. As a professional music teacher for more than 50 years, I have always advised parents of my students to get the best instrument they could afford in order to avoid the MANY problems associated with cheap crappy instruments. While it is true that if a person learns to play well on a poor instrument, once they get a great instrument they are astounded at how much better they play (I know this from my own personal experience), the challenges of learning to play a musical instrument are many -- without having to deal with an inferior instrument. This can lead to the person giving up thereby missing out on a skill they could have enjoyed for a lifetime.

Yeah, no thanks. I don’t want to fight with my guitar, I want to play it

At least one.... ;) -Chris McKee

A happy ending.

@@AlamoMusic "At least?" You don't know?!? 😂😂

Maybe you’re listening to this video on a phone. I have airpods in and hearing plenty bass...

Wrong! Play one for yourself. It has very full-but-controlled low end which does not overpower the upper strings.
