Sir Kulas, sbi mo sa mga previous posts mo you prefer dreadnought sa acoustics? ano po ba difference nya sa grand auditorium styles when plugged?
i visited the taylor website and i'm eyeing the 210e or 214e. the 210e is a dread while the 214e is grand audi. solid sitka spruce top and laminated indian rosewood. what do you people think of the wood? what sound can these types of wood produce?
@Sir Poundcake, ok din ung suggestion nyo for the 2nd hand 310e. kaya lang wala pa kong cash. thanks po for the info!
no it's not that i prefer dreadnoughts over other body shapes, i actually like the OM shape eh, hehe. si farseer ang mahilig sa big bodied acoustics, hehe. plugged in, halos pare-pareho na nalg tumunog yung mga yan, unless may internal condenser mic yung mga pickup systems nila.
hmm, might i advise against the 100/200 series taylors? hindi naman sa panget sila. but if you're going for the big brands then get a solid topped/laminated back/sides one, might as well buy ibanez artwoods na lang or the takamines at JBmusic. if you're going high end, go for the real deal na, yung solid top/back/sides. big difference i tell you. don't shell out the big bucks for a semi-solid acoustic which happens to have a brand name on it. try to save some more and buy at least a 500 series taylor, or a 16 series martin. or even a blueridge guitar, hehe.
sa woods naman...
spruce tops tend to be bright, cedar tops are mostly warmer. mahogany back and sides are more punchy and tight sounding, rosewood back and sides are darker, bigger sounding.
