I was talking with a colleague today, and I had no idea he had a Taylor 700 series guitar. We were discussing the unique sounds of various guitar manufacturers. I mentioned that I felt that Taylor's have no originality in tone, as well as praising them tremendously in several other areas.
Taylors to me, are the most consistent guitars on the face of the planet. I think Martin needs to adopt whatever they are doing in the factory. I've NEVER played on a bad Taylor, ever. They sound fantastic, play fantastic, and are fantastic instruments. I'd even order one blind.
I've mentioned the only pitfall, is that....there is no "unique" tone to a Taylor guitar. Guilds have a certain tone. Martins have a certain tone. Gibson's have a certain tone. But when it comes to Taylors, I cannot really think of any specialized sound that they offer.
Am I the only one? I've played on about 15 of them, so I think that's enough to form such opinion. I guess I'm saying that Taylors are missing their own identity that other guitar manufacturers have. The sound MOST EXCELLENT to my ears, but I can't really hear any type of "mojo" that I find with other manufacturers.
