I tried an 814ce at a Taylor event pre-covid and I hit the low E string and it was like a cannon went off. I figured no way it would be balanced across the strings but it was. I'm more an electric player so I stick with my 414ce which isn't as nice but still sounds great and the ovankol smells amazing to me.
When I strum this guitar, it sounds like it has more strings than it does. I think it’s because of how balanced the strings are to each other. I’ve owned 300, 400, and 500 series Taylors and loved them all.
