    @TheMrTaggy It’s a cover by Eric Clapton called “Hey Hey” Off of his acoustic album “Unplugged”.

    great playing! what is song name on 1:41??

  3. robbiesieben on October 23rd, 2011

    @van1980 The light gauge strings certainly contribute to the playability, but lately i’ve been playing mediums and it still plays great, the neck is just very playable.

    I’ve heard a lot of people say Taylors play like electrics. Is that just because of the light gauge strings? And…whoa…were you trying to sing Jewel there? :)

    @robbiesieben

    @keen20five I got it at Tobias Music in Downers Grove, Illinois. They were great and the service is unmatched, i spent somewhere close to 1600 dollars for it.

    Thanks!

    @robbiesieben noppppeee its the pick up ! 100 and 200 series have the old es t pickup while the 300 series + up have the new expression system

    Nice voice!! I’d love one but its way over my budget. Someday…..

  11. robbiesieben on October 23rd, 2011

    @Godwin117 The only pitch im going to give is that the 314 is where you start with an all solid wood guitar which, at least in my mind, does have some substance. There is a line between the all solid wood and the more “entry” pieced wood. Not to say the 114 or 214 aren’t good guitars because by all means they are, but there is something to having a “real” acoustic. Regardless i’m sure you will be happy with whichever one you choose. Thank you for the kind comments and good luck with the search!

    unreal singing bro sweet guitar in trying to decide between this, the 214ce and the 114ce pretty much for price reasons but i want what sounds best so i’ll probably end up with this

  13. robbiesieben on October 23rd, 2011

    @rightwingted Build quality and design. Much like an automobile or anything really.

  14. rightwingted on October 23rd, 2011

    Why do they cost so much? They sound like any other guitar.

  15. lonestar7703 on October 23rd, 2011

    I just bought one of those with a case for $825. Can’t get much better. Great playing and singing man.

  16. lovereid13 on October 23rd, 2011

    Good! I’m looking into getting one, I think it’s $1650 in Canada

  17. robbiesieben on October 23rd, 2011

    @lovereid13 Right around 1550, something like that. Worth every penny in my book!

  18. lovereid13 on October 23rd, 2011

    Love this guitar – can’t wait to buy my own soon! How much did it cost you?

  19. sthugh on October 23rd, 2011

    Hey Robbie. Nice to see you in the 314 club. You can pay your dues directly to me if you like. :-)

    Sapele, by the way, is nothing but mahogany that grows naturally in Africa and South America. They just call it by a different name down there.

    I’m seeing a lot of guys touring with the 314. It sounds just as good as a 914 if you find the right one, and you’re not out an arm or a leg if it gets lost in flight. I don’t know of a better sub-$2000 guitar being sold today.

    Dude, Great review!! Loved the Neil Young cover!

  21. robbiesieben on October 23rd, 2011

    @mac5742owns The action is great, its pretty low and very very easy to play. I would recommend playing one before doing anything else

  22. mac5742owns on October 23rd, 2011

    Thinking of buying a Taylor very soon, whats the action like on this model?

  23. xMrCustom24x on October 23rd, 2011

    great guitar, i played it at guitar works and fell in love with it. im getting it soon

  24. robbiesieben on October 23rd, 2011

    @DrumminFoo92 My bad on that one, i tried to correct myself to the best of my abilities. Thanks

  25. DrumminFoo92 on October 23rd, 2011

    If im not mistaken… I believe the Dreadnaught is larger than the GA… just clarifying.
