New Taylor 314ce (+ video - percussive tapping)

[FMG]

Alright guys?!
I was fortunate enough to find this used Taylor 314ce on Gumtree for £750. Bargain! Here's a video for you all ....

'Transition' (Percussive Fingerstyle Acoustic Guitar) - YouTube

Absolutely love it. Great playability, gorgeous tone. Only 'disadvantage' I can think of is the size, it was pretty awkward performing this particular composition.

Hope ya'll enjoy ;-)

I saw that guitar up there and was tempted, but pulled back my budget and am going to get a Breedlove Atlas or Seagull Entourage instead. I'm glad it's gone to someone who can really play, I like your song dude, and the guitar sounds great, full and strong.

Cheers mate! Yeah I played a few Breedlove acoustics last week at the Acoustic Avalon event and was impressed, the Atlas is a beautiful model. In my opinion, you can't beat Seagull in terms of value for money though. I owned a Natural Elements model, and for it's price, it was truly astounding. I would like to get an all solid wood Seagull model in the future.

Well I played a 314 today and gotta say, should have gone for it! Liked the 214 a lot as well, unplugged different but great, but the pickup system in the 314 is amazing. How are you liking the guitar now you've spent some time it?

Awesome video!!!

I saw Trace Bundy live a few weeks ago and I've been trying to abuse the neck of my acoustic with two hands since.

Excellent job anyhow sir!

Thanks guys! The guitar has been played in a little more now. I've realized that I really adore the sound; simply chords just shine through so well. The whole body resonates and sounds so full. The woods give the guitar a brilliant playability and feel, it's simply a pleasure to play and hold. This was mentioned before, but the only thing that bugs me is it's size (in relation to me). I'm not a big guy, and sometimes the tapping stuff is awkward when you need to change hand positions so frequently.

Cheers, Rob! Yeah Trace has a really unique approach to the guitar. I love how he uses and moves multiple capos in one song.

I did another few videos with my 314ce, please check them out ;-) Links in my sig!
