Both excellent sound, I really like the 717e sound over the 814ce. I lean toward more bluegrass sound and the 717e. Fits that genre better.
I’m a Taylor owner my self. They are awesome guitars
Man they are both beautiful and both sound beautiful too but the brightness of the 814 does it for me personally. This video is right on time because I'm looking into retiring my old POS I've been banging on for years and that 814 will probably be the one.
I like the 717e it sounds awesome Marty
814ce....but I am biased as I own one.
The 814 has a tighter sound from my point of view. Very sharp and bright. But honestly I really prefer the warmer tone from the 717. And it got more power I think. At least a little bit more volume. But both would be a dream to own. If only the money would fly to me. xDD
Yeah me too!!!
The pacific definitely sounds fatter in the mids. Taylors classic sound is thin in the middle and depending on the woods flavors the highs and lows. I'm liking this new sound for Taylor. You can also hear the clarity of the V Bracing coming through. You can really hear the voicing in the first lick you played with each. Very nice Taylor, and thank you Marty for that demo.
oh man your solo game is fire, i wonder how long it will take me to get somewhere there considering that I recently picked up the guitar and learned the important chords that you taught me on your channel. thank you
Thanks for doing this video. I appreciate all you do. The grand pacific sounds wonderfully warm and the 814 is so bright. I love both guitars!
Liked them both, but for different reasons. Loved the dreadnought for strumming and that good ole bluesy feel. Loved the brightness of the cutaway for the picking and lead riffs. Send them both to me for a real detailed evaluation.
They both sound great but I would have to go with the 717e, and I don't use the high frets on acoustic that much for the body to make too much of a difference
Hello Marty, this is Marty. I too, like many of your followers, have learned a lot and can honestly say that I am much better at playing because of your videos. Your style is easy to follow and you are a natural at teaching 👏👏
That said, a couple of us have noticed that this 717 is East Indian Rose back and sides and that’s where the deeper/warmer tones are coming from. I’m currently shopping for a 517 or 717 now and it’s important to find accurate information. Maybe you can amend this video with a text that states this?? The video made me question the woods and go back to verify.
Anyway, I do enjoy your videos brother, keep up the good work!!
They are both beautiful guitars.
Hi marty .... the new one sounds warmer .... i like both sounds .... see ya lynn
Taylor’s introductory guitar is a beast. You cannot go wrong at any price level with Taylor. Incredible product.
I think the 717 Grand Pacific is Rosewood. The 517 is Mahogany.
It's not Mahogany & Spruce as you say at 1:07, it's Indian Rosewood and Spruce. The 517 has Mahogany Back & Sides.
I prefer the 814ce more cause i like bright tones more personnaly
P.S. thats some of the best editing ever
both sound Great, mostly because of you, but I think that Grand Pacific has more low, full sound.
Love the editing! Makes the comparison easier. Problem is they both sound great , I can’t decide which is better. I’ll take one of each on loan and get back to you!👍👍
Marty you are one of the reasons I started playing guitar
Grand Pacific 😍
Can’t wait to get my mits on one 😍
Thanks for sharing Marty 👍
Congrats on your new guitar! It's beautiful!
I prefer the looks of the 814 but to my ears the 717 sounds slightly better.
Same actually
717 for that bluesy, deeper voice, a little mellow. The 814 has a crisper, folkier sound. I prefer the bluesy, but love the cutaway shape.
I like the 717e sound. 814 sound has more midtones of course it came from the structure of the body. But I think I'll go for the 717e.😊😊
I like the 717, my self but both are great !
Sounds very crisp, Taylor has done it again.
I tried both lasy week chose the 717 handsdown killed it for me so much warmer an the neck is unbelievable
you are the best marty
I prefer the 717e. It has a fuller sound to it; whereas, the 814ce - while it's nice - just sounds ever so tinny.
Well, since you can't own too many guitars, I'm going to say they both sound perfect for whatever type of music you put into them. Hard to go wrong with a Taylor! I just got a PRS acoustic, way different than my Taylor, but great player.
wow, tough call, love them both but I do think the 717e sounds fuller or warmer
Sounds to me like the 717 has a deeper sound than the 814. I also like the wider neck.
Thanks Marty
814CE sounded fuller and warmer to me.
What strings are they? Sound like D'Adario?
Would switch to Elixirs and try them again.
They both sound great Marty! However, the 814ce is the brighter sounding guitar, which is what I prefer, but if you wanted to send me that 717e, I'd gladly take it! :)
Beautiful guitar(s) and beautiful playing
The 814ec has so much more tone. Very sweet sounding guitar. I'd like to see a comparison with it VS Ibanez EW20.
Both guitars are great but I like the 814ce the best. Ive played a 410ce for the past 10 years and got my sites set on a 814ce.
I have an acoustic without cut away, and since I write songs on the electric guitar the high frets on the acoustic became an issue. If I want to play some clean stuff. So I would definitely choose the 814. to be honest I can’t tell you the difference. The new guitar has new strings so it sounds more „steely“ and your „older“ one has surely a little bit older strings so .... I would go with the 814 e ....Have a great day 💪
Very nice video... I'm always one of your first viewer!!!🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂
This guy is just COOL on the Guitar! 🤘🏾
TBH I just like watching you jam dude! Both brilliant, 717 a little warmer, other yin slightly sharper. 🎸
I m too poor to buy a Martin or a Taylor guitar right now...... but I love the way they sound
Can't remember which was which number but I thought the blonde cutaway sounded rounder, maybe because it's been played in more.
Do a comparison when you've played it more..? I like the looks of it.
NICE VIDEO
The 814ce it's better because the sound is more sparkle. Keep going the great work!
What a difference!
On the Grateful Dead sounding stuff at the beginning, the GP sounded better to my ears. The blues sounded better on the 814ce. I was surprised, because I'd have expected the opposite based on what I thought my preferences were. On the fingerstyle, I preferred the GP by a wide margin. Overall, the GP did it for me, but it was closer than I'd expected it to be.
Amazing the difference in sound. I really like both tones. I think you need both in your arsenal. ; )
They both sound great, but I am leaning towards the 717e sound. I have an older Taylor dreadnought DN3. Plays brighter but I do love Taylor guitars .... just a little out of my price range now ;-)
nice sound out of 717e one of the better demo vids Marty you ever get your hands on a Taylor T5z ? Maybe another vid? Later thanks for everything
Surprised that I hear any difference but gotta say I like the new GP better - warmer (as you say), fuller. The 814 is a beauty, for sure, but it sounds a little flat here. Thanks!
Both great sounding guitars, thanks for sharing Marty!
Uhm, for me it would be the 717e to start with, I like that more mellow sound... good look too! :)
M.
Marty could you please tell me what gauge strings you personally use on your 717e? I’d really appreciate it.
717e stands out as an unique guitar on its own. Great tonal quality. 814 is good as well and is crystal clear when played softly or with gusto. My preference: 717e. It has more character.
I like the sound of the 717e.
I think your 814 has better note articulation, especially when flat picking. That said I do love the finger style sound on the 717. I have a 810 and use it for my flat picking, so maybe my ears are just “tuned” to that sound.
marty i couldn't pick one if i had a choice are they both eletric/acoustic?
717e for me. I love the 814ce. If I had to purchase only 1 of them (yeah right) then I would get the 717e.
He’s had the 814 how long? Wait til the 717 GP ages?
My pref is your 814... but like all sounds it personal .
Pete
Hey Marty, great videos, youve helped me so much thanks a loot ! I was wondering if you could do a video with the Iron Man solo by Black Sabbath!
Hey Marty, love the video! Can we get a lesson of Anders Osborne "Black Tar"?
They are both great guitars, but I prefer the 717 from the audiences point of view. I'm an old style sound guy I guess ... Love the mellow :)
😍😍😍 814ce
Anybody know the song in the outro?
Yo Marty
Marty is livin the dream , playing guitar all day !! 814c I prefer
And he gets the guitars for free I guess.
I will never know why I torture myself with guitar reviews knowing that I can't afford any of them
814ce looks so nice. 4 grand would be well spent :))
I'm not keen on these comparisons, it's horses for courses they were designed differently for a reason! It would be better to demonstrate the strengths and weaknesses of each and the music style they are best suited to, but you'll still get different opinions ;) Thanks I enjoyed the video though.
Im gonna be the only one honest here and say the 814ce sounds better
What? Lol
Sound is subjective. I'm being HONEST when I saw I prefer the 717e. It's all opinion, my friend. (:
That's right
I prefer the 717e because of its deeper tone and Very dark look
They both sound gret but the new one has a much brighter sound to me.
Can you do some DIO or Maiden in future lessons. Please!
this must be the custom grow 420 guys uncle or something
The Grand Pacific sounded better to my ear., and I have big ears. :) How about teaching some national anthems like O Canada, God Save the Queen, Star Spangled Banner? Take care Marty.
Sex Pistols! God Save the Queen, she ain't no human being.
To my ears, the 814ce sounds better. They are both great, but that one has the edge for me. 😀
To be honest they both found amazing but the 717e sound more relaxed and warm. There as of the original is more tight. In my opinion 717e beats it. It would be great if you could use it in upcoming lessons.
814 please
Could you try to do Sabaton - To hell and back?
4:06 tutorial please
814ce sounds it best for me 😁
Grand pacific toooop!
I like the new 717e
The GP has more bass witch I love sounds like my Seagull GT Q1TIt makes your 817 sound like a cheaper guitar on the video! But then I don’t have a trained ear 👂 just my ramblings in my head lol 😂
Can you plz play it’ll be ok by limp bizkit
Everybody has there opinions 👍🏻
I prefer 814ce
717e is not mahogany its rosewood and terrified sitka spruce top
Looks like an 814ce dlx actually
And the 717e isn't mahogany...
I listened to this with a good pair of akg headphones. The 814 has so much more life than the 717. It kind of sounds muffled on the 717. The mids are quieter. Much more definition with the 814. Sorry.
717 makes the 814 sound like a toy! Okay, maybe that's an exaggeration, but the difference is quite apparent.
I prefer the Les Paul myself.
Taylors sound good in a mix, but they are so treble heavy played alone. Martins sound good solo. Bring back the Martin M-36 that you dad gave you!
Love the brown sugar more mid and low,s ..
The grand Pacific has a warmer mellow tone...richer I guess. jb
I could not discern a difference, but don't listen to me, I'm a dumb-ass!!
814
717e.
