A brand new entry-level twelve-stringer is finally here. Taylor fits it with their own amazing Expression System electronics.
Taylor is one of the most famous and most respected guitar brands out there. For around four decades in business, Taylor has built up quite a reputation as one of the best when it comes to acoustic and acoustic-electric guitars. Their electric department is also equipped with some mighty fine axes, but it`s the acoustics field where Taylor absolutely shines. Next to Gibson and Martin, Taylor can be considered as the standard of quality in the acoustic field. In the earlier years, Taylor focused on the exclusive six and twelve-stringers, while somewhat neglecting the intermediate and beginner classes. With recent years, however, came new winds and series containing intermediate and affordable guitars were revitalized. In addition to the standard part of the catalog, 400 and 300 series became more prominent in the seasonal Limited Edition lineups. Taylor`s basic acoustic series, the famous 100 series, is being reinforced with a full-sized acoustic-electric twelve-stringer. It is the gorgeous 150e. With the amazing looks and unbelievable price tag, 150e is bound to become an instant classic and a go to instrument for all young and eager players who want an affordable and reliable twelve-stringer. Now, lets move on to the review portion of this article.
Taylor 150e, a simple guitar with a simple name gives a proper bang for the buck and is out there, blazing a trail for all of the affordable guitars which give the players more than just affordability. Layered sapele is used for the back and sides, while the top is made of sitka spruce. Also, there`s the mahogany neck with an ebony fingerboard on the top. This is the standard selection of tonewoods for the 100 series (despite it`s catalog-opener position, 100 series is very well cared for). Also standard, Taylor Expression pickup/preamp system, developed exclusively by Taylor craftsmen and luthiers, delivers fantastic performance and is a joy to use. Ebony-made bridge with TUSQ saddle, die-cast tuners and 100 series standard decorations wrap the specs list for this dreadnought-shaped twelve-stringer. Tonal delivery and ease of play set 150e far above the similar models in it`s price range and seriously upstages guitars with two to three hundred dollars higher price tags. Here, at chorder.com, we`re absolutely amazed by this brave dreadnought and are sure that there won`t be any unsatisfied owners and players of 150e.
