Taylor 714ce LTD V-Class Blackheart Sassafras/Lutz Spruce - EMPIRE MUSIC

[@richardlusby8949]

I was a skeptic at first, but I just bought a 714ce Blackheart Sassafras 3 days ago. All I can say is WOW!! I have not put it down!! I have a Taylor 814 Brazilian Rosewood "Legends of the Fall" and I consider them equals. I am a serious acoustic player, so tone means everything to me. I can't say enough good about this guitar. I love a Martin and I love the K24ce Koa's Taylor has, I surprised and shocked myself when I chose this Blackheart Sassafras guitar over them. But WOW I certainly don't regret it. I am considering buying another one, but I can't justify it. This is my personal opinion. Call me crazy, but first, go experiment like I did.

This guitar seems so great. I'm a 714 guy and I'm really glad I can't lay my hands on one of these! Thanks for the great video review.

This Taylor sounds and LOOKS magnificent! I already own a 714ce with a cedar top which I love. If this was a 12 fret model, I'd be tempted to pull the trigger...

Nice, Joe when you do your dynamic range sound examples, do you think you could also add, doing a tuning variation, like double drop D, or a DADGAD...ect It would be nice to see what extra sonic sounds your guitars have.

Hey Joe, sounds great, what type pick are you using thank you

How does the sound compare to the 814 Spruce on Sass?

[@Faraz9564]

@@Jms78able There's a fair bit of both models on Reverb. The 914 sass is even more elegant but rare, 50% higher premium, and made in the pre-V Bracing era of Taylor. Good luck with the purchase!

do these spruce tops darken with age ?
