The alarm bells with a maple top isn’t the brightness. Spruce is bright so by that comment maple/ spruce would also be super bright. The reason why maple tops are usually alarm bells is the density of maple. Maple is a really dense hardwood, which doesn’t lend well to a top which is normally a less dense softwood. Of course, Taylor may have found a solution to this problem.
I always liked Gibson guitars with maple back/ sides despite their supposed " brightness " and lack of "depth" according to the tone gurus. Taylor have pulled off a v rich sounding all maple guitar with this one ,not too bright ,plenty depth . Hats off.
This guitar is priced more similarly to some of the 300 series (it's over £2,000 while the 300 series starts around £1,800). Doesn't really belong in the AD line-up.
Oh man, what a beauty! This just made the very short list of guitars I NEED to try out! The 000-15m may have some competition. I may have to rethink everything. 😍🤤🫠 It just sounds absolutely amazing. Total ear candy. Wish they would make this as a GS mini also. How perfect would that be?
The guitar sounds amazing and has an intricate look without being gaudy.
