    The acoustic/electric Grand Auditorium 414ce responds well to an array of playing styles thanks to Taylor’s proprietary body shape and the expansive tonal palette of ovangkol and spruce. Expect a blend of power and tonal definition, especially in the midrange, so whether you like to strum, flatpick or play fingerstyle, the 414ce makes a great playing partner. Contemporary aesthetic strokes include white binding, Italian acrylic dot fretboard inlays, a three-ring rosette, and a full-gloss body. The guitar comes equipped with Taylor’s Expression System® 2 acoustic electronics along with a Venetian cutaway, and ships in a Taylor deluxe hardshell case.

    I own Yamaha, but in this comparison I go for Taylor. Bright and warm sound and a lot of expression. The best word I found for this sound is sweet. Sweet like a honey! The beginnings of well-known songs sound very similar to original recordings. The Yamaha sounds much more rough. Very powerful bass and a lot of punch, but no refinement at all. It sounds like very good student's instrument. Surely, the difference in sound doesn't match the difference in price, but... These instruments are made for different players. For a beginner Taylor 414 is waste of money, just as FG800 is a waste of money for a professional.

    I appreciate the video. I have been helping others to find & purchase instruments (usually guitars), for over 35 years. Although my number one guitar is a Taylor (1998 K-14C), I have found some surprising guitars from $300 & up. Yamaha acoustics & their electric Pacifica line, are worth checking out. Also, don't miss: Faith, Orangewood, Seagull & Breedlove (high & low end) guitars.

  • @toyotozan

    You could have compared Taylor with a 800$ Yamaha AC3R, which is all solid wood and similar size guitar. But the video clearly shows why Yamaha is the absolute "go to" guitar for a beginner.

  • @koagtr1952

    Also, note that when listening to others demo'ing instruments many factors are at play. This includes style, technique & song selection. (PLEASE NOTE: Right hand placement, among other factors, will effect the overall tone of the sound, generally producing increased treble as you move from the soundhole towards the bridge.)

  • @England66hs
    @England66hs 4 года назад +6

    This is not a fair comparison, Fg800 is a good strumming guitar, not to play fingerstyle. Definitely Taylor sounds better, but not for that much money more. Try FS series, for another 100 more, and you see how good the Yamaha is. Taylor is definitely a good guitar, unique on its own, but it is up to the buyer if they wanted to fork out so much for a Taylor.

      @@helpinghand123 I actually tried an FG800 this week in a music store and I really didn't like the action to be honest. I'm not sure how much I could change the action with a truss rod adjustment. I then played a Martin X series guitar and I really liked it. I play songs much more comfortably. So I'm actually thinking of getting an X-series guitar rather than a Yamaha especially considering it has a pick up system. The neck of the FG800 felt good in fairness. I would imagine that it's a very good value guitar that can't be beaten in that price range.

    Here is my thought:
    414CE tone is more cool, crisp, bright, and clear. The highs stand out a bit more.
    I think 414CE sounds better for fingerstyle.
    The Yamaha is more warm, mushy, noisy, and probably louder (FG 800 is my first and only guitar, it's got good build and sound quality for the price).
    The lows stand out nicely. Really easy to hear when the chord changes.
    Yamaha would probably stand out in outdoor acoustic strumming and singing.

  • @MintStiles
    @MintStiles 4 года назад +2

    This particular Taylor has much more harmonics here. It's an overall better guitar by a margin with perhaps the only short coming in note seperation. I always hate to praise a Taylor but this one is good.
    That said, you will always find the slightly fancier appointed FG sounding much better. Now I have a Yamaha 730 as my beater and I can tell you it's nothing like this 800. My 730 is unbelievably piano like, both robust and rich with volume being it's only downside. Maybe it's a luck of the draw, but I feel like the 830 will make a better comparison purely based on the build attention.

  • @n8watkinz
    @n8watkinz 3 года назад +2

    After watching hundreds of comparison videos between all-solid and solid-top-only acoustic guitars, I’ve come to a few conclusions:
    (1) The top material truly determines 90% of a guitar’s tone.
    (2) Yes, solid back and sides make a tonal difference, particularly in overtones, but I don’t think it’s nearly as pronounced as some people claim. That said, even guitars with layered/laminate backs and sides can produce overtones (albeit to a lesser degree)... Find a quality comparison video between the Yamaha FS800 (layered mahogany) and Yamaha FS830 (layered rosewood), and you’ll see what I mean.
    (3) Volume is largely determined by body shape and bracing (esp. if it’s scalloped). The Yamaha in this video definitely wins that battle.
    All that to say, while more money will certainly buy you a finer sounding guitar with more eye candy, modern construction has made many laminate back/side guitars perfectly viable. In some cases, laminate/back side guitars-such as the Guild Westerly Series or Taylor 100/200 series-have a distinct/unique/powerful sound in their own right. So if you’re a musician on a smaller budget, DO NOT feel ashamed to purchase a laminate back/side guitar from a quality company. This truly is a golden age for budget acoustics.
