Tone Lounge: 50th Anniversary Taylors - Are They Any Good?

[@eichaan]

Tone Lounges are my favorite videos-I watch them over and over because the musicianship and natural, friendly conversation are so wonderful. Thanks so much!

[@johngraydon506]

They are a couple of cool chaps 😊

Thank you Chaps, lovely chat. After 30 years as Martin and Gibson player I would recommend everybody try a recent Taylor. Precision and now character

Great sounding guitars and some lovely playing, really appreciate the informative but chilled way you guys present these videos.

They sound great to me. I think Taylors sound has improved massively over the last 10 years,the build has always been excellent. Keep up the good work Taylor.

These sound incredibly bright in this video. I love Taylors but this is exactly what people who don’t like them complain about. The Wegen picks are bright and metallic as well so bring out that sound even more.

I got one of the 217e SB’s a couple of months back. It’s a wonderful guitar, absolutely love it

[@rmzzz76]

It's interesting the 217e SB-Plus LTD has a fuller sound when strummed than the 314CE. I feel like the 314 sounds a bit thin. I've never been a big fan of the V-class bracing, but I think what they are doing with "C bracing" on the 100 and 200 GP models works quite nicely, at least for my taste.

Loving my new Alvarez Laureate. Paid $1300 new.

when it's layered back and sides wood,the sound is 'tighter',not as smooth;but if you play plugged in,it's ok. I sold my takamine because of that but for taylor,they do better with laminates.

can a torrified top crack over time because of the dryness?

Neo-tropical mahogany = Honduran mahogany grown in Fiji

I find the Wegen picks very full sounding - not bright or metallic at all, not in the 1.4mm thickness anyway…
