just bought a 314ce v-class and its simply amazing.
Ordered the builders edition to the UK...apparently will be here 4-6 weeks...I will be doing detailed unbox and review on my channel for anyone interested in some close ups/ sound demos etc. Will compare to my 314ce as well see how different it is?!?
Wheres the guitar videos 😑
This was very "Spinaltap-ish" Especially when the guy with the freaky mullet did that sustain gesture...
I still haven't heard anyone play one of these for more than 15 seconds at a whack. I need to hear it for an hour with different genres and styles before they make a believer out of me.
If you want to become a believer go play it for yourself..
0:55 look at his frst finger😯😯
akshay kumar k hahaha !!
Dude! I didn't want to see that!
Fucking lizard people walking amongst us
Now don’t wonder why I can’t play lol... what wizardry is this...
Yes that looks painful I wondered if anyone else noticed
Great progress and nice to see new things and looking forward to hear in person. But not many people play above the 9th fret (let alone the 12th) in acoustic. The 2 tier cutaway is cool. But again nice to see innovation.
Perhaps people traditionally didn't play those high notes because they didn't sound good on the guitar designs of their day. If we have the opportunity to play anywhere we like on better designed guitars we shouldn't stick to the same old same old. They were limited. We don't have to be.
Martin and Gidson have a long glorious past but Taylor is leading into the future.
These are the clearest sounding guitars I have ever heard in my life.
The Golden River so you actually got to play one? I was curious because intonation is typically a nut/bridge/fret thing and bracing has nothing to do with intonation outside of keeping the top in place. I actually went and tried all of the things on a Taylor 214ce deluxe and achieved the exact same intonation as in the videos. No issues at all for a guitar with straight frets. Flawless intonation would require micro-tonal frets or something such as true temperament frets. I do believe that the bracing has massive impact on tone, sustain, volume and such but intonation seems wildly inaccurate.

No I haven't played V class bracing in person. But the notes in the high register are noticably cleaner to me.
You have to remember that the notes you hear on a guitar are really layers of harmonic frequencies. Some of them are fundamental. Others are simply overtones in that harmonic series.
Sure, well built guitars like Taylors, have no problems handling notes in high registers.
But high frequencies reveal flaws in tuning and temperament. Why?
Because high frequencies JUMP out at you. They cut through.
Humans are physically more sensitive to treble. Especially around 1k. Any sound engineer can tell you that.
Why does a bass amp in a band require 150 watts, while the guitarist only needs about 60?
Because treble cuts better.
Bass requires more energy, but can (potentially) carry farther than treble.
What affects the amount of bass and treble in a guitar?
Bracing.
Dark7string
You are correct however.
Scale, fret design, & tuning are what actually affect intonation.
The Golden River haha that article is already funny. I am a classical guitarist and extremely picky about guitars. Infact, many classical guitar players I know (and myself) will choose a luthier by asking how they feel about steel string guitars. The ones that don't touch them because they don't like them, are typically going to build you a classical that can plow over any martin or Taylor in volume and tone you have ever heard. Typically, steel string companies such as Taylor, make the worst nylon strings you can buy. Dead and lifeless response out of the the treble strings. No volume or projection.
Now with the v brace, I am very intrigued because most people complain that Taylor's are too bright. Ironically I am a recording engineer as well so those frequencies you describe make perfect sense. But Even the low energy is focused rather high on taylors. They are very "ringy" or "pinched nose sounding. But I like that for lead playing a lot. Modern bracing ideas are very awesome and I am curious to see how this does.
Dark7string
Me too! I'm very excited to see what new trends develop in the acoustic world.
I am curious to understand how bracing affects the intonation? As a research junkie I can't seen to locate any information that would support that claim
Dark7string What it does is it makes the guitar evenly tempered ALL the way up the neck.
Acoustics have a tendency to get thinner and sharper in pitch the further you go up.
The bracing controls the movement of the bridge. The bridge has to move in complex ways to properly produce good tone.
Precisely why guitars that have aged and been played in sound so amazing. The wood has relaxed, letting the bridge go to work.
Dark7string: If you keep the bridge and saddle from moving, which is really tough on an acoustic because a great deal of the sound comes from the top vibrating, then intonation is improved. With X bracing, some projection is lost by keeping the top too rigid on too much surface area. Intonation is good with X bracing, provided you don't wind up with a "humidity sweat between the 14th through 22nd fret., which cannot be adjusted by the truss rod, because of the fret board being glued over top of the body of most guitars. Taylor took care of that by laser cutting the top (body) around the fret board, and extending the truss rod along the entire neck. They patented this design, and no one else in the industry has it. That solved one intonation problem, and now the V bracing stabilizes the bridge, without making the entire top rigid. Result is improved projection, and solid intonation along the entire instrument.
The simple answer is that bracing does not affect intonation to any measurable degree.
@@ValentinTeodorTamas no. No no no. Everything you said is absolute shit. It might vibrate better, but the frets and bridge and nut and neck relief and action are what determine the intonation. Jesus Christ, it's physics.
I want to try one of these 🤔
Dream guitar 🥺🥺
I own seven Taylor guitars and I love everything about them ,I also own and have owned many Martin guitars I like martins guitars but I love Taylor's.my Taylor guitars 2015 614ce ,2015 816ce,2018 814ceDLX v brace,2020 614ce Builders edition Honey Burst,2019 K-24 ce all Koa,2015 914ce,And Baby Taylor.I only buy guitars brand new ,I did buy a 1980 Martin D-28 used because out of about one hundred new martins I played I could not find any I loved then I saw this 1980 in mint condition and original case with the key to the case and it was really a good sounding guitar and it was really easy to play almost as easy as my Taylor's I sold Ten Martin guitars including a D45 I've never had a Martin I fell in love with except this 1980 D-28 ,I've been playing for fifty seven years and have had lots of guitars just about every brand you can think of ,In my opinion Taylor is the very best guitars money can buy ,Not everyone will agree but it's my opinion and I know a great playing and sounding guitar,I bought a Guild in the nineties and my uncle fell in love with it I also loved it and I sold it to him ,I still grieve over that guitar but he still has it ,mabey some day I will have it back.In my opinion I've not one time played a Taylor guitar I didn't love but I have a wife and she said eight guitars are enough 💕 love,But I'm gonna have me a Twelve string Taylor pretty soon she is gonna kill me lol.she doesn't understand that a guy needs lots and lots of guitars,She won't talk about guitars with me so this is why I'm commenting this long comment,I love to talk guitars anyone else out there ever wanna talk about these masterpieces I'm all ears Sorry this is so long she says if I talk guitars with her I always get a new one.Guys don't ever get married if you want lots of guitars . 😂
Must be nice to be rich and have no talent.
@@johnnyd63 I'm sorry you have no talent plus you have no money,Damn I'm glad I'm not you.
I wanna try this so bad 😭 sounds good on video
Does anyone else feel a lump though at the base of the guitar on the top tube where the v brace comes together. My k14 has straight out of the box a bump on the top below the bridge where the v comes together. It’s a bit disconcerting despite bob Taylor’s video on telegraphing
taylor guitars breaking the laws of physics :)
What guitar is this?
"This could easily change the way people play the guitar ... in 10 years there's people who aren't playing guitar who will be playing guitar then. This guitar really is just as good as you are in this scenario. That's a heavy thing to create that"
W-T-F is he talking about?

Best to all.
I'm really disappointed in the electronics. Way too much on the high end. I can't use it through an amp or through a DI. I think I should get rid of it
v-bracing , It means "just, show me the money dudes"
Is that Carrot Head?
Did he say Hhhhhmmmeow....??
Only $5,000 dollars? I’ll take 2. Just 3 easy payments of $1,666 plus a $10.00 processing fee at Sweetwater.
notice the 666 part because you have to sell your soul to make the payment...
So what you guys are asserting is that all other guitars built upto this point have been built incorrectly and all are out of tune?
"You feel the extra money in your bank account if you're being paid to endorse these things." So, when is Taylor gonna come up with their new "Y" bracing? (I hear X is already taken.) Let's make it all the way through the alphabet! Maybe eventually you won't even have to fool with tuners - the thing will just jump right into tune. And of course, strategy counts - don't stick this "revolutionary" bracing on just any old model, associate it with the high-end stuff so as to give it more acceptance as a big deal.
And if it is in fact such a big deal and the greatest thing since the zipper, why not roll it out as quickly as possible on all models? After all, braces aren't made out of solid gold. Ooh, I just gotta have that new bracing - I'm gonna pay five or six thousand bucks to get it! Gimme a break - have you ever heard such hype since Kaman rolled out those ridiculous Ovation guitars? (Which everyone and their grandmomma was paid to endorse back in the day.) Could this company _be_ any more goofy with this silly over-the-top hype? But hey - I wanna guitar that Taylor Swift plays! I'm on board!!
Exactly. If this was some revolutionary technological breakthrough in guitars, it should automatically be a part of all their guitars, since it wont cost anything extra to carve a piece of wood different. I respect Taylor for their conservation work, but this kinda shit ruins that veneer real quick. Not to mention its disrespectful to the guys *cough* (Martin), who's X-bracing and dreadnought and OM style they've been building off for years. If you've done something new, be respectful to your colleagues.
ruclips.net/video/_lrNq5Qktmk/видео.html she thinks thats crazy??
ruclips.net/video/_lrNq5Qktmk/видео.html here another weirdo
I own a 914CE with V-Class bracing.Muted bass, muffled tone.Not impressed at all. Andy Powers thinks too highly of himself and his ideas.WAY too many other options in high end guitars to deal with an experiment that may cause guitar tops to snap in time.
Well expert build a guitar to your likings and quit bashing because you think your such a expert,Just another wise guy 😂😂😂
Marketing hype. There is no sustain more than the X bracing. Nice try Andy Powers, but heck no.
That is not true.
I compared a 914ce with V bracing to two luthier built OM's with a traditional Martin style bracing...I liked the Taylor the least..it was a very nice instrument and for what it brought to the table I am sure some people will love it. I think guitarists having more options is great and I think Taylors are great too. But does the V bracing change the game? No, I don't think so.
Yeah, they did not invent anything. It was a Deuch invention, to begin with.
I'm more impressed by Taylor's pervasive marketing machine than I am by this instrument. It's wonderful, but the accolades are hyperbolic. "Wizardry?" Really?
