Taylor's Dreadnought The original Dreadnought acoustic guitar appeared early in the 20th Century, and its no-frills, no-nonsense shape made it a logical namesake of the huge battleships of that day. Most subsequent Dreadnoughts, including Taylor's, have been derivative of that early design. In 1997, however, Bob Taylor re-designed the Taylor Dreadnought by softening the curves at the top and bottom and generally refining its overall shape. In 2003, gloss-finish Dreadnoughts also underwent bracing refinements that substantially increased their overall volume and bass response, without sacrificing Taylor's signature balance and clarity. Dreadnought six-strings shine as "plectrum" or "rhythm" guitars because they respond well to flatpicking or light-to-heavy strumming.

 Great Guitar! Bad Shipping Experience...
By Anthony Brothers
I bought this guitar brand new on Amazon for a killer price during Black Friday. I was in the market for an 814ce, but the 810ce was priced almost thirteen hundred dollars below Amazon's price for the 814ce! I had never played an 810 before, but I had played an 814 and 816, so I assumed the 810 would be somewhere between the two. The guitar came in today, and from what I've played so far, my assumptions seem to be about right. The only problem I have so far is that the 810 is built for medium strings and the action is noticeably worse than the 814 (although still great compared to many other acoustics). The benefit is a fuller and more balanced sound compared to the 814. But considering I play plugged in 95% of the time, I think the electric guitar-like action of an 814 would have been more valuable to me because I would imagine tweaking the EQ a little would result in similar if not identical tone when plugged in. I have not had the chance to play plugged in yet, but unplugged, this guitar rings out an amazing tone that is balanced and super clean. I honestly don't know how to describe the difference, but I find myself getting distracted by the quality of the sound of the chords when I'm singing, and I've never done that when playing my previous guitar. I recommend playing any guitar before buying, but if you have no other choice, I'm sure anyone would be satisfied with the sound and craftsmanship of this instrument. If you are looking for the best action available, I would consider the x14 series if the price is right. But if you want an electric/acoustic that projects loudly and has well balanced tone unplugged, this is the guitar for you!I had one major issue with my purchase, and that was shipping. Amazon shipped the guitar through a company called CEVA (which I had never heard of), and they misplaced my guitar. I had to call multiple numbers before the shipping company found my guitar sitting in one of their shipping docks where it had sat for 6 days. I was informed the guitar would be shipped to me from that location through a second shipping company, and the guitar was sent to the wrong place. It took over two weeks, three shipping companies, and many calls before receiving my expensive guitar. Although the guitar seems to check out fine so far, I was a little stressed out over the past two weeks wondering if I'd ever receive my guitar in perfect condition. 1 of 7 people found the following review helpful.
 Taylor
By string bender
This guitar is amazing. It is very crisp and bright so it is great for finger picking. Taylor is the new premier guitar maker. I was going to get a Gibson but they don't have different size necks. The neck on a Taylor, which is real ebony, is not even glued on so a repair guy can change the angle in ten minutes. Also the fretboard and neck continue up into the body, intead of the neck stopping and the fretboard resting on the body. When a neck bends it caused a bump at the 14 fret. Taylor has fixed this problem. Their pickup is the best. Research it before you spend money. The 300 series is the cheapest line with the expression system (yeah!!) A mint vintage Gibson is worth 100,000 and that is why they are not changing there technology. But there is better technology nowadays. Why not use it. The finish on a Taylor is UV cured in ten minutes. This shaves 3 days and a bit of money off the cost of the guitar. The wood doesn't warp in those three days. Also, the finish only has ten minutes to sink into the pores. I think that has something to do with the tone. I own the 314ce and it's bright tone is great for finger picking and strumming. The dreadnaught is supposed to be better for pure strumming. The best guitars for tone are supposed to be Gibson, Martin, Taylor and Takamine and all have a pretty large list of pro players but Taylor is taking off. Look at the list on there website. There are some other good one out there. This guitar is too sweet though. I never feel the need to review almost anythng but I am going to copy this and paste it on the other Taylor guitars, not just the 314ce. --pickup, neck finish and TONE!
