Update: I bought another acoustic. Lol
Sorry but the only thing I noticed that this was the first video where you are not wearing your wedding ring...
@@DasTarDyou must be the wife
@@beefnacos6258 Of course I am...
Usubbed
I just bought Gibson LG 2 American eagle, such an amazing guitar
There is always something so beautiful and honest about acoustics that sometimes electrics cannot replicate. Just a man and his guitar might it be. Those are just my two cents.
👍❤️ or a woman and her guitar. (Just saying.)
@@CatsPajamas23 Absolutely!
sometimes can't replicate? they're two different instruments ur blurting out useless info
RC32 strikes again
I think your comment is so true!! Honest is such a great word to describe them :)
I love my Martin and Taylor so much, that I don’t feel the need to buy any other acoustics. That never happens with electric guitars. No matter how great an electric is in my collection, I am always looking for more.
lmao exactly what i thought. altho i wanna try more acoustics im done to own only one or maybe two electrics coz i feel im. never gonna be satisfied like the authenticity the acoustics have !
Acoustic guitars is harder to build than electric . When they passes on tests have unique sounds. Maybe this is the reason.
I feel like i need more acoustic simply because i like to use alot of tunings and i hate completely resetting my guitar between songs. it takes forever. I wish i could afford a good martin or taylor haha. I have a cheap but cozy fender and a bright bamboo from a company called luna.
Yamaha made in Japan are as good for half the price
electric guitars eventually rust. acoustic and classical get better with age.
That Taylor #3 has so much power, projection, and tone, you'd not be able to overcome that as a singer. It's going to be the absolute star of the show when playing acoustically in a room. It's clearly worth every penny if that's what you want. But frankly, I love the tones of Taylor #2. A little less volume, but the clarity and tonal response to your playing is really sweet. If you're in a busker mood, this is the one. Plus, I'm a sucker for a sunburst.
Have to agree.
i was hearing the Eagles hotel california intro
Funny… I thought the Taylor 2 sounded the worst out of them…. 😂. I think 3 sounded the best , followed very closely by 1. I think I’m a sucker for the higher tones.
Martin and Taylor are great guitars but waaaay overpriced for what they offer. Guild D-55 and ZAGER 900CE are great for the money.
# 2 by a nose!
Got to feel good when you call a guitar store and they get so excited for you to come in.
(*sigh*) yep.
Tom is one of those guys, trust me.
I have two Taylors, one more for gigs but use both for recording. They both sound different but definitely have that Taylor 'sparkle' high end. They're the PRS of the Acoustic world I feel, not afraid to experiment and tweak their designs. They also have a great attitude to sustainability!

Honestly prs has solid acoustics too. If you like low action on it at least it almost feels like an electric with the right strings. It also just fits my hand perfectly for some reason I only have the feeling on a few of my instruments.
@@jayhips625 You beat me to it! I'm not sure what their overseas acoustics sound like, but I have a couple of made in Maryland Angelus acoustics that are beautiful guitars.
So awesome! Tom lives very close to me!
Martin's are the gold standard of acoustic tone.
The intro and outro music was nice, good example of acoustic playing.
Martin or Maton?...both are pretty nice!
Larrivee
Yeah Martin’s are definitely the best. I have a really nice Taylor that I’ve never played since getting a Martin
@@JohnBiddleMusic Taylor’s are easier to play, martins are harder to play but have a really strong tone
@@davidkadlec3518 agree!! I went in to the store set on buying a Martin D-28 and walked out with a Larrivee D-03. it absolutely blew the Martin out of the water in every single way. And was under half of the price. I now own 3 larrivees and can't speak highly enough of them!
Oh I love that door handle. 🎸
Thinking of having one installed in my studio XD
That little mediterranean sundance theme you played there was very nice!
I like your acoustic playing because it is just very soothing and makes me wanna pick up my acoustic!
Im finishing my exams for this semester and this video makes for an awesome break, thank you for that❤️
heyy same
Agree
What happened to that gorgeous D'Angelico!? And the PRS? And all the other acoustics you used to have? Btw, semi-popular opinion....the Gibson J-45 beats Martin and Taylor.
My only accoustic is that mahogany Martin D-15 at 5:30. It's an amazing guitar, you feel like you are tapping directly into the historical bed of guitar music when playing it. It's a proper blues machine.

I was trying to find the right words to describe what I felt hearing that Martin just now when I saw this comment and thought: why improve a perfect thing? Thank you.
The Taylors were nice but the Martin just spoke to me.
That was a 00015m and they’re amazing.
That’s a 000-15. I have and love playing it.
I have one very similar. It's the sweetest thing - big and deep and resonant, but still plays LIKE BUTTA DOOD!
I've always LOVED the sound of Taylor acoustics. It never fails that when I hear someone playing acoustic and an mesmerized my their tone that it turns out they're playing a Taylor!

Do you get your guitar adjusted at a Taylor Luthier, or a Martin Luthier? 🤣
You definitely played Wonderboy by Tenacious D in that chord progression 🤣
Yup, those tones were high above the mucky muck for sure.
“An acoustic is a friend for life”. Mark Knopfler
I don't have an acoustic guitar. But i have a classic guitar.
New strings make the biggest difference in sound imo an acoustic can go from sounding like a 100 dollar old classical guitar to really good sounding just from the strings
I love the channel! I went to my local shop a year ago looking for a tele style and left with an Ibanez acoustic that I absolutely fell in love with and it's still my favorite to play. Keep up the awesome channel.
mr music is a fantastic shop, always impeccable service and the folks there love chatting about music. real old-school cool. happy to see it featured
You're living the life some of us only dream of. Good for you bud! Keep on rockin'
#2 was just too pretty. And it might be worth mentioning that different strings will completely alter the tones of the guitars.
Are you secretly playing tenacious d?
That acoustic intro had incredible Alice In Chains - Jar of Flies (ep) vibes.
I like my acoustics more than my electrics. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I would have bought #3 as well.
I have a Martin D-15m and he is my best buddy. ❤ The only other acoustic I'd get would be a 12-string - and that's just different.
Oh this is in Allston yea? I went to Berklee and I would go to Allston every week for that bowl of ramen at the chinese supermarket or Korean fried chicken at Bonchon. You know what I'm talking about if you live in Boston. But I've never set foot in Mr. Music for whatever reason LOL. My go-to guitar place was the Guitar Center at Fenway. Just didn't find the need to check other places out.
In my opinion, you sounded best on the Martin, the thing I like is the consistency of the brand in relation to how they will sound
I'm a big Martin simp, and I have basically the same guitar, so I'm biased, but I just will never get over that lovely deep Martin mahogany tone and the LIKE BUTTA DOOD action.
Is that a little nod to Wonderboy by Tenacious D at 2:55? Nicely done..
I still want to see Tyler do a video on the Cort Manson MBM-1 guitar, the signature guitar of Matt Bellamy, especially the one with the midi controller built in. Such a cool and interesting guitar.
The Cort G300 pro is also very cool. I’ll have to check out the MBM-1 tho
yessssss
Some of us own 2 acoustic guitars...and 2 electric guitars....and 9 bass guitars. Lol
You are obviously an electric player, believe me, Acoustic guys have GAS just like electric guys. Same reason, they each sound different. Great video.
You rockk man . I just got a new Taylor Custom 414ce v-class special edition. I wish you could play it. Your heart would melt 💙 much love brotha 🎵
I have owned probably 40 electrics across my life, and a few acoustics. But at this time I have 6 electrics, but only ONE acoustic. And it is in fact the very first guitar I ever bought. An Alvarez. Not the nicest. Not expensive. But I love it.
Love Mr Music! Visit them fairly often for guitar stuff
Taylors.... the most overpriced pieces of ...... on the market unless you want to spend $8000, on a guitar OR it was made in the 90's when Taylor was actually known for something! So many other incredible brands like Takamine for example, where you can get an incredible axe made out of NATURAL wood NOT laminate AND a Top notch pickup for under $2000.... sometimes under $1000 in the right area with the right model.... Taylor is all about exploiting their buyers.... You would have to sign me to a million dollar deal and have the guitar designed to my exact specs ( would definitely be a Takamine or Martin design) before I'd buy Taylor.
I mean cool video and all but you never answered the question posed in the title and I feel robbed :(
hey can you give me a one electric guitar from your collection... pls.... 😄😁
Totally feel the sentiment of just one acoustic, I’ve owned many electric guitars over the last 8 years but my Taylor is the only acoustic that’s stayed with me! I just don’t really feel the urge to get another acoustic because my Taylor just does it all

I'm the opposite, I have no electrics and want multiple acoustics.
For anyone shopping for a more budget acoustic guitar, I can't recommend Epiphone more. Incredible value on their higher end models.
Not sure why do Taylor number 1 2 and 3 without stating model and price????
Have you ever played a fender California series Redondo acoustic electric?
I've never bonded with acoustics. Maybe it's the higher action, lack of sustain, or single tone.
You need to try out a few different brands and models, Chris. My guess is you'll find one you like.
What a nice person he was so happy that you called him. I like you a lot bcuz you give people that effect instead of you putting on a “good person” show other people do it for you. That’s how we know it’s genuine
I got my first acoustic at Mr Music in 1987! I lived around the corner on Chester Street. It was a brand new Yamaha FG 420C. I traded my 73 Tele for it. I got a lot of mileage out of that Yamaha...but I wish I still had the Tele. Glad to see Mr. Music is still there.
Just buy an electric guitar if you are completely new to guitars and just love guitars in general. I just bought an acoustic guitar and it is a mistake, that thing is loud especially in a rented room, electric guitars are just easier to practice with and you could play it quietly anytime you want.
Funny thing is I’ve only had the one electric guitar for 20+ years but a handful of acoustic guitars since then. I’m a always looking for different electric guitars but just end up buying gear that isn’t even guitar based but other gear to further my music making process. Cheers to all you musicians out there🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼

What I've experienced with acoustic guitars, is that every guitar sounds different from another, even if it's the same model of guitar! I love the acoustic world😁
I love both Taylor’s and martins, they great companies and great guitars. Although I do agree with you that Taylor’s tend to gravitate towards certain strengths, while martins are more rounded, the guitar you played in the demo is an om-15, which is going to have the least amount of range due to being all mahogany. The mahogany top vs spruce top is not a great comparison. If you played an om-28 it would be hands down the best compared to all the one played in the video.
Larrivee, 40 series, must try one then see what u think of martins or Taylor's, in terms of what u get for your money it's a no brainer....... Value aside, there's is this perfectly balanced tone with larrivee, about as much bass as a Martin and not quite as bright as a Taylor, with this punchy midrange, to me they sit in between a gibson and a martin sonically, but they out play both, Taylor like playability. Find a shop and play some larivees.
Hey Taylor, I’d like to see you play a Portuguese Guitar aka the Fado guitar.
Might be one of the greatest openings ever, it may be cold, angry, and a little gross but Boston is the best
please react to billy strings ur mind will be blown if u dont know about him already
I’m the opposite, I just got my 6th guitar and it was my 2nd electric guitar. I’ve started on my grandmothers acoustic and then I got my own from a flea market for $75 but now I have 2 Taylor’s, a gs mini koa and a grand orchestra 818 in tobacco sunburst, both guitars are vastly different in shape, sound, and construction and they have their own vibes but they both have that clear and articulate Taylor sound that I love
I started my journey on a nylon acoustic after listening to Eric Clapton Unplugged, it still sounds amazing
I LOVE the sound of a jumbo body, but it's so big to handle!
Ya, I have 11 electric guitars and one Martin acoustic D-28. It's like that with keyboards, too, I just have one.
I have a dreadnaught resonator and semi hollow, two and a half acoustics one half of an electric
Can only afford one? They all have their different personalities that are ideal for different songs. Enough guitars is just one more!
Play a Yamaha FGX5. Blows any Taylor on the planet away.
I have three electric guitars (90's Ibanez SV-470, brand new Ibanez RG450DXB, and a 70's Olympic strat knockoff), one bass (Epiphone Tobias Toby), and one acoustic (Orangewood Rey Mahogany). All I think about is getting more electric guitars.
Gibsons and taylors are the best guitars.
I listened to this blind, and apparently #3 was the best for me. Then I realized, I missed the price tags and thought it was the mid or low end. Then I realized, crap, acoustic tones are crazy in differences with wood, how thick, bracing, sound hole placement, bridge construction (if reinforced, or less wood, seems like less wood makes more resonant) and all kinds of crap. Electrics are so much easier! Acoustics sound nuts between different woods.
I have one classical and one acoustic but many electrics. It's weird because acoustics can sound so different but electrics can be so similar. One Spectre studios did the shoot out with speaker choice being the biggest tone changer, made me really think about reducing my guitar numbers. So now I have half a dozen, tuned to various tunings like E standard, D standard, C# Standard, drop D and dadgad or a varation of it. They are all studio guitars, and stay in tune - AFTER I put various upgrades like graphtech nuts and saddles (helped a TON) and hipshot locking tuners. Nice to pick up a guitar and have it be within 5 cents of in tune instead of like 15-25. Keeping a constant 67F helps a lot too. Temp knocks things out quick. Guitars are a pain in the ass. I love them, but they just have mood swings lol.
I've never owned even one acoustic and I started playing in 2000.
issues
I have 5 electrics: Strat Elite, Tele performer, Taylor SBC-1 Custom Walnut, and a Gibson Les Paul Classic with P90’s. Acoustics I have 3 a Taylor 814CE, A Taylor 200 series Koa CE, and my favorite Breedlove Legacy Auditorium with Myrtle wood bank and sides with a spruce top. If you have not played a Breedlove you need to. He was a luthier for Bob Taylor and after he left to start his own company Bob hired Andy. Breedlove struggled for a few years and 2 old hippies bought the company and now I feel they are on the right path. But all their USA made guitars are great and the off shore are also good for those that can afford the USA made guitars. So in my humble opinion you need more than 1 acoustic if you want different sounds too!
After I saw that Moon-Face at the wall i couldn't look away from it. lmao
I never thought to use a capo in the guitar store I think I will try that bit of wisdom Tyler, and thank you so much for the amazing video keep up the great work!
I love my Taylor 214ce dlx. It’s a wonderful guitar. I got it used for 900 but it might as well have been new. Looks stunning, plays incredible. Now I just have to get better at playing it.
It's an amazing guitar. Was my only acoustic for almost 10 years. Sadly mine got cracked from an accident but it still sounds good
While I love hearing Tyler shred and bend like the son of Steve Vai, its really nice for some acoustic guitar spotlight, even if purely for sonic change. And of course I'm partial to Taylor guitars for the namesake and cause they are awesome (albeit not for everyone). Thanks Tyler for making great music! Hope your Taylor guitar brings you great joy
i have 3 acoustics if you count my resonator. taylor gs mini, fender 90's jumbo, and flint hill resonator. i have 4 electrics and 1 project electric guitar. mij fender strat/G&l asat classic tribute limited edition/ 2 traveller guitars the original strat traveller and the original les paul traveller. i like having 2 non resonator acoustics so i can keep on in standard tuning and 1 in whatever open tuning i am using. (i use the 'gibson' traveler as my open tuning slide guitar.)
I called number 3 as soon as you started playing it 🤣 it has "it" and the other two (or three, technically), while they are nice, do not. I also only have one acoustic, and it's a Dean that my parents bought me when I was 16 (I'm 40 now). Somehow two non-players found me a beautiful instrument and though I've wanted others, and have bought several more electric guitars, I've stuck by that acoustic and I plan to continue. Nice purchase, Tyler!
My ownership of acoustics to electrics is about the same, I think I'm 4 and 4 at the moment, my ears definitely more acclimated to tone differences in the unplugged acoustic tone, so if I had to thin the heard, it would be thinning out my solid body electrics... Taylor acoustics are about playability and easy maintenance over tone. Professional grade instruments from the 100 series and up. Really admire the company, I'm just not the biggest fan of their products because of my love for traditional glued-in neck joint and the tonal character of Martin's and Gibsons. I think for me it's more about listening to the great recordings of the 60s/70s/80s/90s and when you hear great acoustic tracks on live and studio recordings, most of those tones are coming from the icons like the Gibson J-200, J-45, Martin D18, Martin D28, Martin 000-28, etc... so there's association of "this is what a great acoustic guitar is suppose to sound like" and because you have this mountain of gold, platinum and diamond records that collectively define that "this is what a great acoustic should sound like" you can take the subjectivity of "great tone" out of it and make it objective... You may like the way that Taylor K24ce or even 912ce sounds, but it doesn't sound like a Martin or Taylor. It doesn't have the lineage or archives of critically acclaimed recordings to its credit and because the golden era of recorded music is behind us and because the great acoustic players of modern day do not play Taylor guitars (that's just a fact) this isn't going to change for Taylor.... That said, plenty of great reasons to own a Taylor. They are fantastic acoustic guitars to gig with and the bolt on neck easy to maintain for decades. When it comes to reproducing the natural tone amplified, their proprietary pickups are not the best on the market, but they are professional grade, they get the job done and the audience is just going to hear an acoustic guitar and not be going "that's NOT a Martin D28". So to the audience it doesn't matter.
You left the best guitars hanging on the wall, the Martins.
I had a dream last night that Tyler invited me to his home studio and let me play one of his guitars. While playing it, I accidentally backed the chair into his other guitars and they all fell over like dominos. Tyler, never invite me over.
Wow such a nice guitar shop manager. I would go there just based off seeing how nice he is.

Taylor you chose sounds good, but man, why not Guild or Gibsons? The Martin sounded quite more authentic. But this is all about our fingers, sound taste, and aim of playing(home, gigs, stream videos....). All in all, wood MATTERS. and it will become more and more a scarce resource, so kids, take care of your guitars!
Why? Because Taylor.
If you are paying for a pickup/pre-amp system, make sure you try that out too. I have a Taylor 414ce. Plays great and sounds great unplugged. But man, that ES2 system is terrible to my ears. I tried adjusting the little transducers but it's still brittle sounding. I installed a K&K Double Helix soundhole pickup and it sounds glorious.
Those guitars are amazing
I love my Taylor, glad to see them getting some love, they definitely do have a really large range in their sound and construction. Their mid range is in my opinion, one of the best options for people starting out or that have been playing for years, great sound without breaking the bank and a lot of wood options :D

I have a Carvin 2.5" Thin Line (its old paid around $1,200ish ) which I love, a Taylor 314 Concert single cut ($1800 ish love the tone better than the more expensive 414, 515, 915!). So two steel string guitars. But I have a 2.5" Carvin Classical, a 1963? Gibson Classical, and an Epiphone Chet Atkins Classical (MIK). Love them all and none will ever be available on Reverb while I am vertical Orange
I have a Jumbo, Dreadnaught, Dobro, Banjo and Mandolin. How do you only have one acoustic?
Number 3 was the best one in this video. It's funny I have had a lot of acoustics over the years (including Martins). My absolute favorite and it may seem odd is the Taylor GS mini mahogany. It sounds good for how small it is and is just so easy and fun to play. I have sold off all my other acoustics and now only have the GS mini and a Fender Telecaster.
I have the GS mini koa, I like it for sure. But my Gibson LG 2 american eagle, as a small bodied guitar, is amazing
just now realizing that I am one of those people with multiple electrics and one acoustic. Although I've been wanting a 12 string acoustic but the one I want is a bit more outside my price range so I'll stick with the one acoustic for now lol

That's funny. The Level 3 Taylor sounded the most like my Taylor. But mine was considerably cheaper. I got it to be my "beater guitar" for playing around campfires. Then discovered it is a beast. My 12 string is a 355ce. And the beast is a 114ce that clearly thinks it's an 814 or such.
#3 clearly has wayyyy more definition and personality, especially when using capo and playing suspended chords!
I'm quite the opposite, I own 7 different guitars, 5 being regular acoustics, one classical with nylon, and one electric
I had one acoustic.. it was a dreadnought style so it was huge. Played beautifully. I ended up giving it to my little brother think I’m in search of another one. I like parlor style just cause smaller, bodies not so thick
Guitar 3 was an instant lock for me. Stunning sound. My wife would be quite irritated 😂
My Martin puts many to shame tone-wise. SPD model. Different neck than most Martins. Taylor sounds do seem to be all over the map. Taylor necks are more like electrics. I played many many Taylors and when I would go back to them after a break I found something lacking. Beautifully made, but so are Martins. The low end matte finish Martins can surprise you (just add an LR Baggs bridge pickup).
Comparing an all mahogany, (even the top) 15 series Martin vs. Taylor's Rosewood, and mahogany w/spruce tops is apples vs oranges.
I'll admit, and I own both, that I'm a certified Martin fanboy... that said... Nothing will part me from my beautiful looking and sounding, 1933 Ambertone, D-18 I bought brand new in 2015.
N-O-T-H-I-N-G ! 😁👍🏼
Hmmm…I have 2 Martins, 2 Taylors, 1 Epiphone (that got me through undergrad), and one electric.
Been to Boston for a Sox/Yankees game. Can say it's a cool town, but god the "city life" just sucks. I'll take the small town neighborhood life, or better yet (when I can buy the land) gimme a spot where I can walk off my front porch naked, take a leak then fire off a couple 00 buck shells to start the day and no one can see/no one gives a damn.

Not a loser in the bunch, but the #2 got my vote. The mid tones are so warm and mellow on that git - perfect for home studio, campfire, songwriting - and across the most genres IMO. The 1 was super chimey in the high end and had too much spank for me. Would sound super annoying to everyone if I ever got excited playing it lol. The 3 had the most even projection across the range to my ears. All that said, strings would likely change those qualities across all of these - so I would have gone with the one that felt best on my lap and to my hands. Oh, and that Martin? 5th place.
I LOVE this store. I was recording at a studio in Allston, MA back right before the pandemic and I came upon Mr. Music whilst walking around the neighborhood. Tom was wicked fun to chat with. We got on the topic of Vintage Red Label Yamaha dreadnoughts and my guy busts out a binder with newspaper ads all the way back to the late 60's or early 70's when he was selling them for $65! I played a bunch of his acoustic inventory and he gave me a tshirt and some other swag. Great video Tyler! As to your point about people keeping big collections of electric guitars with only an acoustic or two to speak of. My collection is the opposite. It's 2 electric guitars and 12 acoustics at my house (including 2 Red Label Yammers). But the real peak of the collection is the Taylor 914 with the Cindy inlays.
