  • I finally ordered the guitar I’ve been looking at. For many years I have dreamed of owning and playing a better quality guitar. Today I received it via Fed-X from Sweetwater music.
    Check it out !
    Sadly after purchasing this guitar I found out it is not USA made! 😞 Taylor somewhere along the way bailed on manufacturing these in the USA!
    VERY DISAPPOINTING
    Check out the AD27e

    The highlight of this video is the worship that only God can put into perspective of what really matters. Yes, a beautiful guitar and voice - but a song of worship that shows us that God is omni present in everything we do. Congratulations Pastor! Lead the light that many seek to follow.

    Top is solid koa and sides and back “layered” koa , not junk laminate . Yes Mexican made but still excellent quality, buy full wood guitar and you have to be very careful to humidify correctly. This guitar you don’t have to be so careful, excellent choice sir.

    Amazing guitar. Played this today at Guitar Center. Stuck between this and the 314 CE V class. I am leaning towards the 314 because its American made and all wood body. Love the way the 244 plays sucks that the body is not all solid wood for the minimal price difference between the 314.

    Hello Pastor and God bless. I bought the exact same guitar used a 2017 model a month ago and just played it at a church event called coffee shop last week. I sang and played Psalm 23 in DADGAD tuning like that fellow on RUclips I think his name is Justin. I like that instrument because it's perfect for me the size being just smaller than a dreadnought and the cutaway so I can solo on the higher frets. I have the elixir strings and I downloaded the factory specifications for set up which I do myself because I work on guitars. I had to take the bridge saddle down 1/32 of an inch and take the nut down a little. And the neck relief on that guitar should be about .040 inch where most acoustics are .010". Keep up the good work and God bless you and your ministry. The other thing people don't know is that pick up system is so amazing it does not feed back when you get it reasonably loud like other acoustics and the power of that low E string I can feel it in my stomach. Amazing instrument I would pick this over the top of the line Taylor 914 CE for me this guitar is better. God bless you and your ministry. Mike from New Jersey.

Deciding on just which Taylor to get, I have found, is an extremely difficult decision. Each time I look at Sweetwater’s site I start drooling, become dehydrated from it, and have to stop looking until the next day. Did you have it PLEKed?
