Thanks. I would rather it didn’t have the cutaway but I wanted rosewood back and sides with a satin finish. The thing on the headstock is a leather pick holder that my wife got me for Christmas that came with a custom engraved wooden pick. It called Pick Mate. Thanks for watching!
@@hackleberryguitar4517 ah right. Not seen one of those before. Unfortunately I’m not sure Taylor produce any 200 models now that’s are non cutaway and definitely not without electronics (and I have zero need for those). So I’ll have to look at something else. Maybe a Martin 000
@@2134yanto Guitar Center had a 214E deluxe but it was gloss Sunburst. I needed a pickup or I would have gotten the Streetmaster 000. I’ll probably look into getting one of those used in the future.
@@hackleberryguitar4517 wouldn’t a 214e have a pick up? Looked on the Taylor website and all 200’s now appear to be electronics and cutaways. Kind of puts me off. I’m not a fan of cutaways and don’t use pick ups. Shame because I like Taylor and how they play
@@2134yanto The 214ce does have an ES2 pickup. If the the Martin Streetmaster had one I would have picked it over the 214 since it’s not a cutaway. Overall I’m happy with my purchase even with the cutaway. This is my first Taylor. It’s a huge upgrade from my Fender T-Bucket.
These Ernie ball rock and blues are my new favorite strings. Bending is crazy easy and overall comfortable to play for longer periods. They aren’t my favorite playing unplugged in a group setting because of the volume drop combined with the GA’s smaller body, but man on there own and plugged in they are great. Thank you for the advice!
Cool man I think the 200 series are better than that V-Class stuff.
Nice review. I’d like one of these without cutaway and without electronics.
Can I ask, what’s that strapped to the headstock?

Sounds great !! I got mine last week !! I love it. I put some Ernie ball rock and blues strings.
Thanks! I love mine as well. I’m still running the elixirs on mine and I’m not sure what I’m going to try since elixirs aren’t my favorite.
@@hackleberryguitar4517 try the Ernie balls man. They are awesome !

I think it sounds better unplugged
