Taylor 914ce -how you play and what you play
Well, let's talk about serious topics.
Like other guitar lovers mostly enlightened by Oshio fingerstyle , first started selecting from Martin guitars . First took a fancy to GPCPA1,
but because of the uncertainty about pickup effect of sparring board sound,advising the owner of the guitar , the answer is : only a little ,
because basically Martin does not have Mic pickups . If we consider the function of pickuo, he suggested that i took consideration of taylor 814ce ,
914ce or k24ce . So i began to understand Taylor guitars which i orginally has no interest .
I have read many online auditions , in comparison between 914ce and k24ce, all of sudden , i was attracted by the unique sound of k24ce .
But forfunately i kept in mind , decided to start to try this guitar by myself at a guitar store, then i went to Shanghai Jinling Road,
has a test in an instrument store which has a full range models of guitars. First test is taylor 914ce , the first impression is very light ,
and probably also related to GA body type. The original impression from the online audition is , relative to Martin , the high-frequency sounds better but strumming too loose,not concentrated as Martin . But from the actual test i found it really has showy appearance and exquisite workmanship.
The neck is thinner more suitable for fingerstyle , voice grainy clear, bright but not sharp treble. In particular,after the electrical connection,
amazing impressed on the 2014 ES2 pickup reduction effect on acoustic feedback . Then i tested the most anticipated k24ce ,
found actually very differenct from the online audition . That is true Koa has outstanding intermediate frequency ton ,
but beacuse of the lack of of low-frequency and high-frequency sound ,the whole guitar seemed a little bit uncomfortable.
Instantly the tone made me feel a strange sense of heart stopper . Well , maybe relevant to the unopen sound .
Finally , for still not willing i tried Martin , these was no GPCPA1, then picked HD35
Originally i was especially expecting the acoustic strumming , in fact , after a sweep of a few chords , especially just listening to taylor,
HD35 feel somewhat muddy sound, while "Honghong" feeling.
Guitar store boss finaly said :" See your style on test guitars , Martin is not your style , for fingerstyle taylor is better. In these two taylor guitars ,
unless some people are particularly fond of the color of K system, usually some testers generally tend to 914ce .
Ok. Decisive payment getting goods and left .
Finally, say a few words on how to select guitars. We always see people arguing that Martin or taylor which is good ,
or a hand-made guitar is good or a global brand guitar , how Brazilian rosewood voice amazing ,never be bored with it.
Where there is instrument ,there is instrument party , businesses are really the same.These who debate instrument, like or dislike one brand ,
mostly just bounced over a part of these products , or those who are talking about even had not personallu played the guitar .
Here i just want to say , do not be too superstitious with brands, not all guitars of one brand from low-end to high-end are outstanding ,
also not be toosuperstitious
with hand-made guitars , hand-made guitars represents the erro and instability .
We should remove all prejudices when buying guitars, to try by your own hands , or all internet homework will be futile -See
"Black and White Mary" thought experiment.
If you have the opportunity to buy one of your favorite guitars, with a hard practice and continuous improvement of skills to repay it.
Followed by a lazy musician, musical instruments are too poor.
Finally, in reference to the famous site on guitar evaluation as the end of my topic:
Depending on how you play and what you play, depends on what guitar you are welcomed with.
