I bought one and it takes a lot of pressure to apply to play chords especially bar chord's it wasn't that model though do you have this problem and how can I fix it was thinking to sell it and buy a new one
Hello. I just bought the non-cutaway T333E at GC recently. The fit and finish was of surprisingly good quality; no glue squeeze-out on the inside joints and the exterior is very clean and attractive. I point this out because the beautiful brown mahogany look was what attracted me. The light, open-pore finish and the easy playability make this a good everyday pickup friend. The sound is clear and balanced, with nice sustain. I also did a minor truss rod adjustment; I would make sure the store did this before I bought it. I have a used Taylor 114e that the Mitchell compares favorably with. The Taylor has a little more bottom end and a little more sustain, and costs $500 more. For simple home recording the T333E midrange focus is good for vocal accompaniment. If set up right it's a warm, comfy $200 instrument that's easy to like and play.
Learning guitar at 51, like month 1 new to this. Picked up the Mitchell T333CE-BST at local Guitar Center. Returned 1st NIB Mitchell for fret sprout. The replacement guitar was significantly better with very smooth frets. For $180 Black Friday sale price, I'm pleased with purchase and look forward to playing it.
I recently bought a Gretsch Jim Dandy parlor guitar which is $279 or something like that and I can’t believe how fun it is. I play it more than the Gibson I had that I payed around $1200 for. It’s just a fun little guitar and with some extra light strings it’s super comfortable to play, and sounds great. Looks cool too.
I was looking at this one online and when I was at Guitar Center I played Yamahas, Matins, Taylor’s, Epiphones. I actually settled on a Mitchell T311ce which had a nice warm sound and played well. The neck impressed me as well and the playability. I got it on sale for $189 😮 Not bad for an all wood guitar with fishman pick ups.
Thanks for the great video. It's good to see honest reviews that show the positives as well as the drawbacks. Have you been practicing your bass licks?
@@ArtOfShredYT already using 11 guages, and the action is about 2~ mm. it doesnt hurt when doing open chords, only bar chords, and specifically hurts my thumb and wrist.
@@ArtOfShredYT ill give em a shot when im finished with these lol, i bought em in bulk so might take a little while but strings break so fast here it might not be too long
Acoustics are cool. Don't have one atm but if I run into a screaming deal on the right used parlor I'd probably jump. I'm just the opposite where looks are concerned. If I don't like the way a guitar looks it'll just sit gathering dust. Cheers!
@MikeX50, you be you bro. I have reasons I play the strings I do, Karol does, we all do. Lighter guage strings aren't usually as loud or bass-y on a particular guitar but they tune to pitch at reduced tension so they're easier to play, and over time they are also easier on your acoustic guitar's structure. Less string tension reduces the tendency for the bridge to separate and lift, the top to belly out, or for bracing to work loose. Guitars are working all the time whether you're playing them or not. Acoustics are just strong enough to stay stiff and stable anyway. Now imagine 200lbs of constant force pulling between your bridge and tuners. The neck's pretty tough but the body's fragile. That's why they eventually need to have the saddle lowered or even a neck reset if the guitar's worth it. It's almost inevitable. Reduce the workload with lighter strings and you can increase the useful lifespan. If you have an old guitar that's bellying out, consider going to lighter strings to give it an easier job. But I agree that bigger strings have certain advantages. I play 12s on my Yamaha dread for the volume and sound, 11s on my Guild OM240 for playability. Might even try 10s next time. Please take my comment as a discussion, not an argument.
@@markpell8979 All good points & info. I actually only recently started going this light. When I was younger my electrics had 10-52 and acoustics had 12s. But tendonitis and carpal tunnel have made me rethink what's important, and it's not string gauge. :)
When i said “use” 12’s and your review might change I meant “try” 12’s Didn’t realize the guitar came with a set of 12’s (what a coincidence). Hopefully everyone gets good rest tonight despite my miscommunication. 🙂
Taylor the most overrated guitar in the world. If you're not willing to absolutely baby it, it's going to start having lots of major problems that aren't your normal fixes.
@@ArtOfShredYT it's just that I worked in a music store for six years and Taylors needed repairs hands down 5 to 1 over any Gibson, Martin etc ..etc ... Yes people love them but they do need extra TLC. I think the reason they sound so good is because of how delicate they are, if that makes sense.

@@gizmothehusky7676 I'm not sure what is wrong with yours but Guitar Center has a great return and exchange policy
That's a sharp-looking acoustic, Karol! Thanks for the cool review as always! Great job man!

Thanks, Trey! 🤘

Thanks! Have been playing some bass. Definitely not practicing though 😆
ive got this guitar. i love it. used it on every acoustic song i've made. it hurts my hand a bit to play though, not sure why.
@@twowrongsmusic lower action and/or lighter strings will help with that
@@ArtOfShredYT already using 11 guages, and the action is about 2~ mm. it doesnt hurt when doing open chords, only bar chords, and specifically hurts my thumb and wrist.
@twowrongsmusic I use 10s on acoustic. Carpal tunnel / nerve issues. Helps a lot!

I think most people probably care about looks and that's cool 🤘
Definitely should use 12's not 11's on the acoustic. Guessing your review might even change based on a change of strings!
I'm using 10s 😆 No, the review won't change. I played the 12s it came with for months before restringing

Everyone I know who has a Taylor loves it, but they also have more expensive versions than the 214ce that I mentioned in this video.
