Just got the 912ce Builders Edition (Lutz Spruce top / Indian Rosewood) 5 days ago. It’s the most comfortable and best sounding guitar I have ever played. It’s identical to this one, but in the Grand Concert version, which is more compact and exactly the size I wanted.

Taylor still using the old ES2 need to up their game on sound reproduction of their pickup systems. Taylor is a big company now to not have the state of art pickup system in guitars that cost so much.

Yes, I agree! This is coming from a true Taylor fan, too. I actually own a Builder’s Edition 914ce WHB, along with several other ES2 equipped guitars in other series. I ALWAYS have to dial back the super harsh mids A LOT, and even a bit of the cutting trebles to make the plugged in sound even remotely resemble the guitar’s true acoustic sound. I’ve found this to be true regardless of price point of the guitar (214ce Plus, AD24ce, 914ce BE WHB) I appreciate the simplicity and adjustability of the ES2 Pickups. But I wish Taylor would just change the “default tone” of their preamp that processes the sound of the behind the bridge piezo.

Sweet new take on a great guitar. I love silent satin, and think it’s a great addition, and is more consistent with the BE concept. It will be interesting to see if the guitar-buying public agrees.
@hughnguyen17723 ай бұрын
Not every BE has satin finish. The original BE 814ce has high gloss finish which is nicer than the new BE 814ce satin finish IMO. The satin finish seems to balance well with the abundant abalone inlays on the 914ce. I always thought that the high gloss finish 914ce is a bit too shiny and sparkly.

Order one without the ES2… and install an Anthem… simple.

Just place a dynamic mic and a condenser mic in front of the sound hole and the sounds those mics produce would be way better than any expensive on-board pickup can ever produce.

@@hughnguyen1772 I am sure this would record nicely. But, usable on a loud stage, with other instruments, or in a loud room, where more volume is needed… probably not.

I’m curious, why would it be better without the ES2?

@@letsridehard the ES2 doesn’t sound bad, but it doesn’t sound that great either. An LR Baggs Anthem would be much more fitting to a guitar of this build quality.

Yoa! how bout chamforing thining the inside braces all that extra lumber kinda mutes the sound .... I no longer own the Taylor cus of that very problem. Can you give us players an inside talk about the bracing or is that all proprietary no go ?

it's made like that so when you are playing on the top frets it doesn't impede you at all
@johndiggs433521 күн бұрын
@@SamParedez-rp1rg thanks for that. I play rhythm and do lead vocals… I have never touched a guitar above the 9th fret! All but one of my guitars,(an Alvarez 8 string GA), are non cutaways. All the non cutaways have the strap button on the treble side. I don’t play the Alvarez much, so just went to look, and sure enough, the button is on the back of the heel!

I had a 914ce builders edition. I found it to be quite unbalanced in its sound. Highs were way to bright and overpowering.
@ektalon14 ай бұрын
Nice sounding. Good playing, Chris. The comfort factors are big plusses. Satin finish with lots of abalone doesn’t fit. Extra glitz on a non glitz finish. Should be gloss.Lastly, Taylor do a better job with the number/letter combinations.
