Members caseykey118 Posted July 27, 2006 Members Posted July 27, 2006 x10....x12....or x14??? and whats the difference?
Members Cmogi10 Posted July 27, 2006 Members Posted July 27, 2006 the x14, in my opinion, is Taylor's best shape...
Members theGOOCH Posted July 27, 2006 Members Posted July 27, 2006 I think it just depends on what kind of music you play and what type of sound you want. Check out their website. When you look at a model you can click on "shape" and it tells you what that guitar is best suited for
Members dadgad7 Posted July 27, 2006 Members Posted July 27, 2006 I prefer the x14's someday I might want to seriously check out their 514ce then again, if I spend that much, I'm liable to come home with a nice Larrivee or Lowden instead.
Members t60 fan Posted July 27, 2006 Members Posted July 27, 2006 While I obviously like x14's (and x54's), if I were looking at a new Taylor today, I'd look hard at the new GS models.
Members MyM.O. Posted July 27, 2006 Members Posted July 27, 2006 They're all good . I have a 10 series, but I really like the 14s a lot. That would be my next Taylor, I think. However the new GS body style looks like it would sound the best IMO. I've yet to get my hands on one.
Members eyeball987 Posted July 27, 2006 Members Posted July 27, 2006 I really want to try out the new GS but without that knowledge, the 14's.
Members Freeman Keller Posted July 27, 2006 Members Posted July 27, 2006 what is taylors best shape? I own a 314, covet a LKSM
Members zb0430 Posted July 28, 2006 Members Posted July 28, 2006 Well, last weekend I purchased my first high end acoustic, a Taylor 814ce. I'll have to say that the Grand Auditorium size (the x14's) provides just enough low end on the guitar to keep me enthralled, but provides some amazing mid-range and highs.
Members Mikeo Posted July 28, 2006 Members Posted July 28, 2006 14's are awesome. Just as fat in tone asa dread, with out the bulky feeling
Members onetubetone Posted July 28, 2006 Members Posted July 28, 2006 Definitely GS. I tried one next to an 814 recently. No contest.
Members Blackwatch Posted July 28, 2006 Members Posted July 28, 2006 I love the sound of my 712. The question is kinda like asking "what's the best color"...
Members Terry Allan Hall Posted July 28, 2006 Members Posted July 28, 2006 For me, it's the 15 and 55 series (Jumbos)...Love 'em!
Members kwakatak Posted July 28, 2006 Members Posted July 28, 2006 Originally posted by onetubetone Definitely GS. I tried one next to an 814 recently. No contest. Same impression here: GS rosewood/cedar and GS maple/spruce vs. 214, 314, and 414CE. Mids and trebles are good on both, but the -14s don't have as much bass as the GS and in my experience not nearly as much bass as dreads I've tried from Takamine and Washburn. The -14 has probably just about as much bass response as a (non Martin) OM.
