Style of Music: Acoustic fingerstyle and folk music

Experience: Active musician and hobbyist

"These guitars are legendary for a Reason"

Sound:

Fantastic balance. Warm and responsive. Wonderful lows and perfectly balanced high's and mid's. I use it to record and perform fingerstyle guitar music.

Feature:

Great appointments. Rosewood bindings with koa soundhole are very classic. Tasteful without the gaudy looks of other pretenders to the throne.The NT neck design is probably the best innovation to luthiery in many years. The cedar and mahogany combination is probably Taylor's best wood combo.

Quality:

Great quality. Workmanship, attention to detail, simply a great guitar. The UV finish is practically bulletproof. Taylor quality is legendary.

Manufacturer Support:

I've never had to get any repair work done. However, any question I have had has been answered without delay. They treat their customers like royalty. The free Wood and Steel subscription is awesome. They go the extra mile no matter what the issue.

Value:

Probably the best guitar for the price out there. The quality and sound rival many guitars that are much more expensive. There is a reason why Taylors are used by some of the best players oput there.

The Wow Factor:

I'd buy another Taylor withour hesitation. I use this guitar to record and perform.

Overall:

I don't plan to let this guitar go unless I have to replace it with another Taylor. Owning several is a good thing to aspire to.
