Sitting in the bracket between first guitars and professional heavyweights, the 110e is a fine example of everything just done better. The slightly thinner width of the neck makes it super comfortable to play on without feeling too cramped for those with bigger hands, meaning it will suit players of all experience levels. The Taylor 110e might just be that guitar. Where to now? We'd say you deserve a new acoustic guitar that reflects your hard-earned progress. Your playing proficiency has developed and you've nailed those techniques that caused you so much anguish at the start. So you've been playing a while and you're ready to spread your wings.
CLASSICAL STEEL STRING GUITAR FULL
Read our full Epiphone Inspired By Gibson J-45 review Best for bright tones
So if you are looking for those classic acoustic sounds of yesteryear, but don’t want to fork out a small fortune, it’s definitely worth considering this fantastic guitar. Gone is the thick plastic-feeling lacquer, in favor of a soft and supple aged finish that we found a delight to play with during our testing. Luckily Epiphone has been busy meticulously recreating the iconic sloped shoulder dreadnought - and at a far more affordable price! Featuring an all solid-wood construction, quarter-sawn spruce bracing, and tapered dovetail neck joint, we feel that Epiphone really has gone out of its way to nail every detail and pay tribute to the famous acoustic.Įvery element has been carefully considered, even down to the finish. If you’ve been following the prices of the Gibson J-45 over the last few years, then you’ll have noticed a rather sizable increase - you won’t get much change back from $/£2500 right now - and it’s looking like the prices won’t be coming down anytime soon. The loud, attention-grabbing tone contrasts its subtle beauty, with a rich low-end and singing mid-range means it’s always heard, no matter the situation. Favored for its understated looks and folksy charm, the guitar would go on to get the nickname “The Workhorse”, as it was seen as the working man’s flattop. The J-45 has been spotted slung around the shoulders of many notable players new and old through the years, from Bob Dylan to Billie Joe Armstrong, Woody Guthrie, and Myles Kennedy. Read the full Taylor GS Mini review Best workhorse Whilst lacking slightly in the volume department unplugged, you can more than make up for it with the onboard ES-B acoustic guitar pickup, which allows this great guitar to compete with its full-sized siblings when playing live. It's got that very bright and clear tone that's a signature of most Taylor guitars. During testing, we loved its smaller size, as it makes it ideal for leaving around the house ready to pick up and play while you're waiting for the microwave to ping. Despite the shorter scale, the string spacing is still that of a regular-size guitar, so it feels great for fingerpicking. The GS Mini is essentially a scaled-down version of the popular Taylor Grand Symphony-shaped acoustic. The Taylor GS Mini was launched in 2011 and bridged the gap between travel guitars and fully-fledged workhorse acoustics wonderfully. Next up is something approaching bona fide classic status in the acoustic guitar world.
