what song are you playing at 2:15 ???

[gmdinformation]

@Boobalaboo I just would like to stress to the younger kids that it's mostly about the top. Good srpuce is hard to find today, thus the top grade stuff only gets used on $3,000+ guitars. Kids think they're getting a prize in a $1,000 guitar because it's got all "solid woods," but chances are the top's grain is wide and twisted so it doesn't respond well. They'd be better off with an old Yamaha or from the 70s that has a terrific srpuce top and laminated backs/sides.

[gmdinformation]

@Boobalaboo The backs and sides barely vibrate though. They only serve as an anchor for everything else and to push the air out. You can make them out of just about anything. Torres even made a paper mache body once to prove the point, and it sounded fine. If you look around you can find a video of a repro of that guitar. Cypress has a way of stealing mids, but mahogany, rosewood, koa, maple--all sound very much alike when used on the back & sides. Tops of course are different.

[Boobalaboo]

@gmdinformation I do own one of the 210e's, really enjoy the guitar, so by no means am I saying these guitars would not sound good at all, I KNOW they do :). I was just merely stating that you may want to pay the couple hundred more for a 300 series to get all solid wood, and have overtones that will develop over time.

[Boobalaboo]

@gmdinformation Ahhh, let me specifiy. The sound of the wood IN PROGRESS. Laminates will not breath and mature like a solid piece of wood. Hence a D-35 from the 1950's has a very high chance of sounding better than a D-35 today, if it were made the same. Laminates do not mature like this, if at all. *Distinguishing* factor. :)

[gmdinformation]

@Boobalaboo a Rosewood "*Laminate* body. Personally, that would be one distinguishing factor for me, as there will be a difference in sound"

No, there wouldn't. None whatsoever. Laminates have the advantage of being stronger, lasting longer, more economical, and being easier to find good wood consistantly in them. Top makers from Kenny Hill to Jimmy D'Aquisto have used them on $10,000 guitars.

[Boobalaboo]

For the 2012 model, it looks like they have just gone with a single, under the saddle Piezo transducer/pickup. Strange, as I thought they were going away from Piezo!

[Boobalaboo]

Excuse me, not a "Fishman pickup" but a mic :)

[Boobalaboo]

@mudpieblues As far as the nylon strings go, I do not believe they have one with out the ES Expression system/Fishman mic setup, currently. Only difference between the electronics in a Nylon string and Steel string, is that Steel will have an under the fingerboard pickup, near the sound hole, whereas the Nylon string has a Fishman pickup. Went a little more elaborate on the answer, but there is some Taylor Electronics 101 for ya ;).

[Boobalaboo]

Nice demo :). Only thing I have to comment on "negatively", if you want to call it that, is it is a Rosewood *Laminate* body. Personally, that would be one distinguishing factor for me, as there will be a difference in sound, and how it holds up. Would be easier to sell this guitar to someone living in the desert of Las Vegas, for example, because laminates respond very well to temperature/humidity differences. Just my two cents :). Love this guitar though!
