These guitars are awesome, like the Fender acoustasonic, but the biggest question has to always be, what amp should we use then? This has vexed me for ages if you want to swap mid song on loops for instance? From electric to acoustic, suddenly the response is different no?
Nope, they're pretty balanced from position to position. As for what's the right amp, although I gigged mine for several years with a Grandmeister, my experience has been that modeling is your friend. It works beautifully with my Atomic Amplifire. In both cases, you'll want a noise gate if you're using gain, because these generate a lot of thermal noise that becomes really obvious when you bump the gain.
@@joevalente8451 I was in the same boat, and did some experimenting. I play it through my Roland JC120 and it sounds great in full acoustic or electric mode. I also use a Fishman in acoustic mode with the A/B switch and get great sounds. Hope this helps
Taylor rep said if I put Bronze strings on, I would have to change the saddle-unknowingly I didn’t change saddle when store changed from original to bronze. What affect would it have. Should I just take it back to put on nickels? I can’t change my own yet.
Electric strings have a plain G, acoustic strings have wound. So the compensated saddle would be different for the wound G. If you use bronze but replace the wound G with a plain one, the saddle you have is fine.
Bronze strings don’t excite the magnetic pickups enough and you end up with a weak signal. Stick with electric strings. You can find electric strings with a wound third if you prefer that feel. Taylor ships the guitar with a saddle compensated for an unwound third string. But they also sell an optional saddle compensated for a wound string. Honestly the different saddles don’t make much difference.
it's pretty low-volume in that performing for someone it wouldn't be a good option, but its definitely audible on the couch much like a Gibson ES-330 or 335 would be!
What I like is that, correct me if I'm wrong, they all come in a left-hand version too, which is rare.
I hadn’t seen this yet brother. So good.

Is it playable when unplugged?

Dude in black sounds like Dr. Z’s son
Won awards from who?
Me. I gave em the Most Over-priced, Thinnest Sounding Acoustic In History award.
"I'd like to thank the academy... "
I have a suggestion. Why don't you actually play the guitar so we can hear the tones? Would kinda make sense, no?
