I have a 114 walnut. It's my favorite tone ever.
Haven't ever been very impressed by taylor, but, this one in the acoustic room grabbed my soul, and my wife got a bonus and brought it home as a surprise a few weeks later.
Really, really meant a lot to me, and i love playing it even more because she bought it for me ❤️
Anyway, walnut is special
Beautiful guitar, beautiful tone, and fabulous sustain. Nice job Chris.
Fine guitar, fine demo. You can change the wood but it's still distinctively a Taylor.
Many years ago I was tempted by an all-walnut Taylor in an auditorium size. I passed on it and have always regretted doing so. This guitar sounds pretty amazing! I love the melding of tones that you get from walnut. It has the brightness you expect from rosewood and the richness you get from mahogany. Greg sounding instrument!
I have an all walnut Martin 000-18 style custom shop. Walnut really does have great tones.
I loved the sound of this guitar in part because of its great sustain. When demonstrating acoustic guitars, the sustain is of great importance for the finger picking melody.
#FreeCooper!
really likked this!!
What I find interesting is that I always thought I am not that much a fan of the V-bracing. But with this guitar I really liked it. Sounded woody and earthy imo. Very nice!!
Not sure if you listened to your friends in Montana, Music Villa, did a run of Custom Taylor guitars, both Grand Pacific (C17) and Grand Orchestra (C18) with backs of mahogany, Rosewood, AND walnut. Thanks, Chris, I agree about the walnut.
yep my alvarez mg710 Sitka and walnut with white binding with forward shift x bracing sounds amazing. $700 out the door! Taylor does make some good guitars but the price point is a deal killer.
That guitar sounds amazing!!
Cooper is Batman….You are the Jokester😊
Hey Chris, I want to know when you are going to teach us how to play that amazing Bob Taylor inspired piece you play at 8min 30sec. I have been watching you play this for years and I love it, but can't figure it out, no matter how many (100's) of times I watch it or how slow I play it in YT. There are notes you play that I can't find. Please give us a slow demo as I would love so much to be able to play it. 🙏
Enjoying the walnut tones, eating vanilla ice-cream with chopped banana and eagerly awaiting the first "I hate Taylors they're too bright" comment........hey just thought chopped walnut with the ice-cream and banana! Damn, I don't have any.
Sweet, Chris! If you'd like some black walnut seeds, let me know as I was offered from a tree after talking about getting hit with acorns while standing under a downtown street tree as squirrels were cutting in a big old oak as a friend was sitting in his new rig (sheltered by the metal roof). Have you ever written tabs for your demos, and released them to an adoring public?
My latest (and I vow, the last guitar) has a beautifully figured blackwood back that I could not resist.
Awesome guitar. Too bad it is a one-off. I've never played a walnut guitar. Awesome demo, great chops!
Is it a black walnut? Or English walnut? Black walnut is very oily and I don’t know how that would work or dry out properly.
Claro Walnut
Having now listened to walnut as a tone wood I have to say I prefer mahogany and rosewood. Walnut is a beautiful wood, however I prefer it for furniture making and not as a guitar tone wood. It’s sound does not stand out.
Can I get that in a GT?
Cool guitar until the bridge lifts off or some other weird twist/crack/bow develops. I'd rather buy ten Alvarez guitars than a Taylor.
