I know Dave records and plays D&T shows with Dreads and plays with the band with GA's.

The V might just stand for vintage, referring to tuners, or bracing or soemthing.
actually dave records with a lot of jumbo's, when miced they sound amazing, and with the band he plays dreads. the dm3md,and the taylor are both dreads
He might record with jumbos, but I know he records with the DM3mD a lot too. When with the band all Ive ever seen him play with lately are his Taylors, all of which are x14 models, which are GA's, not Dreads. So, you are wrong in some of those aspects.
well, the taylor may be a GA but it looks, feels and sounds like a dread.

ive seen him record with the dm3md, but most all guitar i see him record with otherwise are jumbos, the yamaha he used for UTTAD and Crash i think, and BTCS he had a gibson jumbo or two in there. and then the new album ive seen him play a lot of jumbos.
must have been cool to be in the studio like that :lol: :lol:
Shut up, it looks, feels, and sounds like a dread. No, it looks, feels and sounds like a fucking GA. I have a taylor 410, and it looks, feels and sounds like a dread because if fucking is one. The guitar is a GA, you were wrong just admit it.

And, btw, him and Ranting were there for all recordings of Dave, so trust theyre foremost expertise :wink:

ok, Im an ass

And as for reserach on Taylors numbering system, its not like you need to go to college to understand the system 14 = GA, 10 = Dred. Youd think someone who speaks with such confidence on these subjects as you do would know the difference.

As far as shape goes, what shapes (dreadnoughts, grand auditorium, jumbos, etc...) give what sound qualities. What is good for recording? What is good for performing? Any help whatsoever. Also, does anyone know the difference in guitar for the Larrivee OM and OMV models?

Well if you can't tell the difference between a dread and GA by feel, it gives me reason to doubt that you could identify a jumbo by seeing it in a vid.

I didn't watch all of the videos, but I didn't see him with a jumbo in any of the ones I saw. For some reason I want to say that you think his 12-string is a jumbo...
