I won an ad24ce this winter and have been practicing as often as I can. Our first guitar was a Montana Dreadnought that we bought years ago but never learned. The difference between the two guitars are night and day.
I bought the AD24ce Special Edition All Mahogany from Chris and Cooper last month. I have had a Taylor 614ce since 1997 (wonderful guitar and my second favorite); I have owned a Taylor 710ce Koa, Taylor 810, Taylor 314ce, Taylor GT Urban Ash, Martin D28, Martin HD-28, and a Martin D-35, several Takamines and Guilds. I also currently own a Taylor AD17 (Walnut/Spruce). The Taylor AD24ce Special Edition All Mahogany is my favorite guitar of all time. No debate. Its tone is my tone, my favorite tone, the tone I have wanted in a guitar all these years. Thanks to Alamo and they guys for doing the deal with me. Y'all are awesome, and I love the videos. This video of Chris is what initially piqued my interest in the AD24.
I got an AD27 this past summer at a great price. Same woods as this guitar. Sounds beautiful and the thing is so easy to play, it really has improved my versatility. Able to play runs and solos like on an electric guitar, barre chords are effortless, no fret buzz anywhere.
i cant to choose between AD27 and 110ce, I'm affraid that it will be less louder than 110ce. What do you think about it? And the difference in 700$. it's worth it?
It would be interesting to see a comparison between the AD24CE, the 324CE, and the 324CE BE. Apart from the back and sides (sapele vs mahogany vs urban ash) and the bling, these are basically the same guitars at different price points.
You inspired me to pull out my 614ce BE. What better compliment? And at exactly half the price and with my favorite top tonewood, folks, this is a real value!
Nice. Another great variation for buyers. I can see this being a good local or small gig guitar, possibly even a busking guitar. I appreciate you doing the same sound samples because it allows me or anyone to compare 121 to all other guitars demo'd.
Great job as always, appreciate the review. Sorry if I’ve missed it in other comments, what type of pick do you use? I don’t hear the clicking-click like I do with most picks when recording?
I wish Chris would tell the names of some the music he plays as their are a few pieces that I would love to learn. I bought my first guitar from Alamo music and it was a Taylor 14:09
Got to say Chris and cooper are top notch and have some of the most informative and fun vids going.... but I do agree with you about the same samples every time for years and I think the volume is not loud enough.
Tony Polecastro was the target of similar complaints, but there is a reason behind why they do these reviews this way. Plus, nobody is forcing you to watch?
The best part about using the same melodies is that you can go back over older videos and compare with other guitars and make an informed choice about what sounds better to your ear. A good player with an average guitar, playing your genre of music is possibly going to lean you towards that average guitar.
My only complaint about the use of the same music is that the way they "compare" guitars is such a missed opportunity to do a true A/B comparison i.e. use video editing to crash-cut back and forth, mid-playing between two guitars rather than just listen to a guitar play a full tune, then afterwards, listen to another guitar play the same thing. One's ears are not capable of "remembering" what a guitar sounded like a minute ago, when listening to a new guitar. It's such an easy (technically) thing to do, and it's the only way to allow your ears to discern differences between the sounds of similar guitars.
I totally agree with you about the inlaid headstock logo.
I love the look, I love the sound, I love Taylor Guitars, I love Alamo Music, I love coffee…
Same
Sounds about right lol
Great! I was waiting for your review about this ad24

I love this guitar just from the video. It's gorgeous and sounds fantastic!
That guitar sounds great I must say. Louder than I was expecting.

THANK GOODNESS ! 😎😎
I simply love the cutaway for comfort, and sound.💎✨💎

One of my favorite You tube channels! Will check out the podcast too !
Really great videos, started watching them and learned so much about Taylor guitars! Thank you
Would absolutely love to hear a comparison between this and the ad27 mahogany
Should be interesting to heqr how it sounds compared to a Taylor 324 !
My question exactly. I just picked up a 324ce this year and it has rapidly become one of my go to guitars.
It would be interesting to see a comparison between the AD24CE, the 324CE, and the 324CE BE. Apart from the back and sides (sapele vs mahogany vs urban ash) and the bling, these are basically the same guitars at different price points.
Hope they make a AD22ce now.
I love this guitar
Great guitar, thks for this amazing review. Some notica about distribution in Italy? thks a lot
It would be awesome if Taylor used the fretboard inlay design the GTe Urban Ash across this new American Dream line.
Nicely done Chris

So is that guitar of better quality than the 324ce or no?
This model looks and sounds amazing. I’m with you on the tuners though. Black would have been a better look. Great job on your review.
Thank's !!
I wish Chris would tell the names of some the music he plays as their are a few pieces that I would love to learn. I bought my first guitar from Alamo music and it was a Taylor 14:09
What guitar was used to record the Alamo video intro riff please? Could be my dream guitar! 🎸
My Taylor Custom GS with sinker redwood top and macassar ebony back and sides in dadgad. - Chris
Wow! thanks Chris, sounds beautiful
What is a Best Guitar the AD24CE or the 224ce Mahogany Special-Edition??.
too late - I already have one! - but great review and playing - thank you
Great "working man's" guitar. Love to see this in maple.
Does Taylor offer this guitar WITHOUT the cutaway ?
🎸🎸🎸🎸
Way over priced sounds like a good yamaha
A "good" Yamaha blows this away for the same money...
Years of same test demos, not buying your lazyness excuse why you play the same samples all the time. Slowly I turn...
Got to say Chris and cooper are top notch and have some of the most informative and fun vids going.... but I do agree with you about the same samples every time for years and I think the volume is not loud enough.

❤ I would like to have one for free
Taylor does too many cutaways...
