dave's taylor 914

Unread post by bam3211 » Thu Feb 16, 2006 6:41 pm

I've seen his taylor tons of times and compared it to the one at my local guitar center and see differences. Daves looking liek it is 2 pieces of wood on the top and a shade or two darker then the englishmen spruce on the taylors you see in stores. Does anyone know why?

thanks

Dave's Taylor 914c has a grain runout in the Englemann Spruce top. The grain runout is what gives the top the two toned effect. Hope that helps.

Also, no two guitars are going to sounds alike, even though they are the same model. When I went shopping for my D-18GE i played about 5 different ones before i got one.

No two pieces of wood are going to look the same or have the exact same colour, so thats probably why they look different. Also could be the lighting differences.

If you know that little about guitars, you shouldnt be spending your money on a 914ce. Its a little more than you need.

I don't know little about guitars I play mostly electric, I build my own. I've been playing guitar for about 15 years. But I'm not in the searching for that particular guitar I just was curious about his model.

thanks
