1990's 510. One of the best acoustic guitars I've ever played. Wish they would go back to the specs of that guitar. Never had the money to get one, but would always go in to local music store to play it and dream.
This is the second review of a Taylor 810e Legacy and it's the best sounding Taylor I've ever heard. And, as far as Taylor 800 series goes, it's quite affordable.
Had mine a week and it’s the best Taylor I have owned. Now selling my 814ce builders edition as I can’t see me picking this up over the 810e…it’s so balanced…incredible 🤩
Remember the 810wmb model. 810 Wood binding, More Bass. Years ago, some local gentleman brought me two of them to install new nut fret and bridges,. I really liked them..
I saw an old Taylor in a video here on youtube and apparently they used to also do wider necks. The guitar in question was the Taylor 612 W. I wish they'd do wider necks again. The video is titled 'Alfie (Burt Bacharach) Daniel Estrem, guitar'. I'm not affiliated or trying to advertise the channel
Makes you wonder if the V bracing didn't work on dreadnoughts. I still have a 1993 510 I bought new for $1395. Interesting that they used an LR Baggs pickup instead of their own. I am not sure they made a guitar with a pickup installed back in the day. I think you were on your own for that.
Wow, that was a real good sounding Taylor and it was good that you compared it to a Martin, but I'm not sure the Martin D-28 you played wasn't really an HD-28. It looked like it had a tortoise shell pickguard and herringbone binding. The important distinction though is really the scalloped cross bracing found on the HD-28 that lets that top vibrate! If it was a standard D-28 then the comparison should have been done to a real HD-28 as they have the same cost! Please clarify this.
I never loved any of the Vbrace guitars from Taylor, they are beautiful and play well, like Taylors do, but they sound like a laminate. This one sounds great.
people still dont realize its the MAIN charactor. They have all these finger picking guitars with shitty low end and people say why doesnt my guitar sound good! cuz it aint a dreadnought thats why
I find the Taylor more balanced than the Martin. A very nice sound. Besides It’s cheaper and In addition, Martin has had this problem for a few years where the binding comes off and it's unbearable, they still haven't managed to solve this problem. I’ve been playing Martin for around 30 years but the guitars they build today are not as good as the one they used to build many moons ago. If I had to buy a dreadnought I will definitely consider this Taylor legacy 810e over a D28 or a D28hd.
@@kristopherk5454 okay but almost all martins have this fat and stiff sound which in some cases can be nice but i just dont prefer it. it has too little air in it's sound, everything is very tight. i myself have low end all sapele martin and its max stiff which i kind of hate now. Thinking of getting something antistiff but still with good definition and with good low register resonance but not loud :D
@@stevebernard221 Hasn't Taylor always has a bolt on necks ? I had a Taylor from the early 90's and it was a bolt on neck. 1999 is when they changed to NT but pretty sure they were always bolt on.

Fullest sound I’ve ever heard from a Taylor. Love it!
Finally....a Taylor that doesn't sound like a Taylor! Missed u Bob...

That's what I have bought it new bought in in the 90s play almost every guitar Taylor made at that time but the 510 was the one great guitar
You"ll never be tired of an 810, great instrument..

OMG. Look at the cross flame on that top. Bound fretboard and headstock. This was always my favourite Taylor.
Taylor playability and a great dreadnaught sound and power !!!!!
My old 710 was a great guitar for live work !

That guitar is everything I want in a guitar!
What an amazing sounding and looking guutar
Thanks guys. Love your videos❤
4:30 ''plays like a Taylor you know, like butter''

It’s a standard D28. The big dots give it away. And if you zoom it’s not herringbone
works for me
Boom ! ❤

I hope they make 310 for affordable price.
Why an LR Baggs and not the Expression System?
probably because the expression system is horrid
This is one of the best sounding Taylors I've heard in a long time. I wonder if I could get them to do a cutaway dread?
A cutaway? And ruin it?
I love anything Taylor in the 10 series...but i just think the Martin had a little bit more character...maybe play that same Taylor in 5-10 years.
That's what I'm thinking. Once that Taylor has some playtime on it and opens up... It's going to have a really really special sound.
Martin just has that clotted cream lower mids....Taylor doesn't do lower mids....
Maybe this is why Dreadnought models have become so immensely popular? 🥴
people still dont realize its the MAIN charactor.

cuz it aint a dreadnought thats why
Martin all day long... true legacy!

Please tell me this wasn't aimed at the dentist market....
Taylor seems bassier than the Martin!
А заявляли ,что больше не производят дредноуты 🤷
i prefer taylor. martin sounds too stiff, this taylor sounds like takamine but better :D
That D-28 is straight braced and the 810 is scalloped, so that’s why the Martin sounds stiff.

@@coldminded21you’re certainly right about the lower end Martins.
Taylor 810e legacy costa meno della D28 e molto meno della diretta concorrente HD28E, ma è sicuramente più bella, più morbida e suona meglio
Martin sounds much better
Womp. Womp. 🙄
Great sound. Martin sounds better.
Nice guitar, but not as nice as my 1995 Taylor 910... he he he...
Set neck?
@@stevebernard221 naturally!
@WysteriaGuitar dam right...that's when Taylor did it right! They sounded their best in the 90's before the switch to bolt-on
@@stevebernard221 Hasn't Taylor always has a bolt on necks ? I had a Taylor from the early 90's and it was a bolt on neck. 1999 is when they changed to NT but pretty sure they were always bolt on.
@robf7213 nope....Bob built Taylor's traditionally in the beginning. I'm not sure exactly when they switched to the bolt on system.
