Taylor 327e V-Class

Chocolate

Just go test one yourself, that's the truest way of knowing how good these are.

I really love this guitar. I had the 317e spruce top version of this line and much prefer this one for tone. Aesthetically, it is one of the better looking guitars I've played.

The mahogany quietens the guitar and the highs found on typical Taylors; at the same time the grand pacific body shape and 13 gauge strings give more power and sustain, which compensates for the quietened dynamic of mahogany. Initially, I was afraid that warm high mids would give a boring sound to the guitar, but it's a focused sound unlike I've heard before. No crazy dissonant overtones, the fingerstyle playing is sweet on it, as advertised everywhere, but it also sounds a lot better strummed than people tell you online. I use it for singing with a mix of strumming and picking and it complements my airy tenor male voice by filling in the gaps. If it didn't have the bigger body and heavy strings, it might be a bit too subdued for me, but I would still buy it and EQ the result just so I would have the pleasure of playing this baby.
