What to Look For When Searching For a Great Guitar
When I am searching for a guitar there is a couple things I know to look for. Some are because of preference, others out of whats required for a guitar to be considered "Worth its Value".
Now, The first thing you need to know about All Guitars is that YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR.
Unless you know for sure what your buying is legit, save save save your money. Buy the right guitar at the Best Price you can afford. Don't cheap out and buy junk -- you'll wish you hadn't. Its true many cheap guitars look nice and seem alright, but believe me, looks are deceiving! You know what they say, 'beauty is only skin deep but ugly goes all the way through!'.
Okay, If I want to buy a guitar that's going to be used to its fullest potential then there are 4 basic things I look for:
1) Good Quality Wood - A guitar is no better than the wood its made out of. Some of the woods that I like to see in guitars are woods like koa, Ash, Mahogany (Very Expensive), Korina (Even More) and thats just a few to mention. You don't want a Guitar Made from your backyard tree. All in all the wood should be aged, the older the better, and you should research what types of wood make different tones.
2) Decent Amplification - I love a guitar that sounds as good in the house (Amplified) as it does just by itself. This Site I found has a guy playing an acoustic with just about every pickup out there. You can learn what sounds good and go from there
3) Guitar Scent - wood glue is the devil. So many times I've seen people with very cheep guitars that have been assembled with wood glue and smell just like it. This is a tone robber and will Make Your Guitar Sound muddy. I know its virtually impossible to be able to smell a guitar online. But if you can go to a music store and checkout places like guitar center and take a look a couple guitars (that will most likely be over priced) and you will be able to tell the difference. I haven't seen a taylor with this problem. I have seen many fender acoustics that have this.
4) A Great Feel - There is some great guitars out there. But, there even more guitars that are defiantly not what your looking for. When you pickup a great guitar, you just know its great. But why is that? The reason is because of the feel of the neck. The action, The neck roundness, the intonation, the frets. The only way your going to get a great guitar with these features. The name. The reason we buy the brand name is because we know what were getting. Taylor is a great trusted brand and if you want that "Great Feel" your going to have to go with a great brand.
Of course, there are a lot more variables to consider, but these 4 things are essential clues that you have a great guitar in your hands.
Most Taylors will have exactly what your looking for but its buyer beware when it comes to buying a new or Used Guitar online. Remember, the cheapest does not always equal the Best Deal, but you don't have to take the first price you see.
Are you looking for a great Taylor Guitar?
The internet being what it is, finding the perfect Taylor Acoustic out there has been made both easier and harder at the same time.
Easier because you're not limited to your town or local resources for selection and/or knowledge. Harder because the shear size of the internet means that you will be bombarded with choices, some great and some complete misrepresentations (lies). How do you sift through the gold mine of options... Talk about a needle in a hay stack!
Well, that's why I put together this guide. Think of it as a map through the maze of information and "deals" out there. It will help you find the best taylor Acoustic Guitar possible at the time, and hopefully give you a head start on the hungry pack. Good luck!
