This is the perfect guitar for me to relearn on, and exercise fingers that are starting to feel stiff when I wake up in the morning. |

I tried the NS24, the NS74, and the Jason Mraz. I also tried the Yamaha crossovers the old ones and the new NTX series. The Yamaha's sound MUCH better, but the string spacing is too close. The Taylor had the better playability.
The NS74 sounds better to me than the NS24. After playing the NS74 I no longer wanted the NS24, though I suppose if I never compared the NS24 to the NS74 or the Yamaha I would think it was fine. Jason's signature guitar was more comfortable because it was a GC body and it sounded good to me. I just can't get over the zodiac goofiness on the guitar. I mean really... the zodiac? UPDATE: Recently compared NS24ce, NS34ce, NS72ce, Jason Mraz NS. The NSx4 all seem to have an undefined bass. The NSx2/Mraz series provided definition for all strings, much better sustain and was a joy to play with the 12 frets above the body and short scale. I also think the combination of the cedar/rosewood is perfect for nylon strings. I ended up buying the NS72ce. .

When I decided to buy a crossover, first guitars I tried was a Yamaha NTX 700 and a Ortega (forgot which model it was). I compared them both at the same time and never had a Taylor in my hands at this time.
The Yamaha neck felt sticky and my fingers didn`t slide well over the fretboard, the sound was flat without sustain and character. In this comparison I liked the Ortega more but didn`t convince me enough to buy. A few weeks later I found the Taylor 24ce in a shop and wow - this on I would have bought right up the way, if I would have had the money at this time. After all luckily - because a few weeks later I was able to buy the NS72 at a very special price.

Tried a Jason Mraz model today...
Very cool, but $3,000 price tag, yikes. Also tried a NS32, noticed that the X2 model feels too small for me. Wasn't able to try an X4 model (guess they are not that popular)
