Acoustic piece on a Taylor 914ce sinker redwood
There is a demonstration video for the new Taylor 914ce sinker redwood:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fTJVZb9DJAQ I can't recall the name of this piece. Anyone recognize it? BTW most demonstration videos I find a bit underwhelming, but this one sounds amazing IMO- a perfectly chosen piece for this guitar. |
sounds beautiful but I dont like the asthetics of it.

Loved the guitar and loved the playing. But using a flatpick played from classical position. Oh the heresy!: ;)
|
Great sounding clip and welcome to the AGF.
I don't know if that is by 'The Acoustic Centre' in Melbourne, Australia - I'm guessing it is because the US spell it 'center' |

Agreed, gmel555, that top is gorgeous, but I think the one in the video is as well. One of the things I find most aesthetically attractive about sinker redwood tops is the variation in color, even when its as dramatic as is the subject guitar. With sinker, I don't seem to care if there is as much symmetry and color balance as with other tops. Someday I plan to own a sinker redwood top, but it's absolutely a guitar I'd have to play before buying - i'd never buy one otherwise.

BTW with all this talk about appearance, I was still -believe it or not- mostly concerned about tone as it's a Brazilian body, so my expectations were quite high. Frankly, it was touch and go for a while, and there were times I wondered if I should have gone with a spruce top, but I went "all in" with the sinker. It took a good 6-7 months for this guitar to really open up (along with changing the micarata saddle to bone). I'm now extremely happy with it. It has it's own character which has developed more and more and is equally "happy" strummed, flat picked, or fingerpicked. It's not a cannon, but I wasn't looking for one. The tone is balance and rich. |
Honestly it looks unique and cool

How has the sinker Brazilian beauty changed?
Has it been opened up more? |
