All are neatly stuffed inside the soundhole. Running in connection with the brand’s Sonicore under-saddle pickup, it features a master volume, master tone, a phase switch (the feedback killer) and an onboard tuner. This will be a great guitar for the recording studio, especially if your talents stretch to folk and Delta-style blues.įishman’s new MX-T preamp is a blast. Once again, sapele’s qualification as a noble stand-in is well justified. The response is what we’d expect from a mahogany body acoustic. The diminutive 000-10E is at its happiest when you tickle its strings with your fingertips and the 000’s lively midrange and warm treble of the top strings make for an addictive package for roots styles. It just happens to come fitted with an exceptionally playable neck. There’s no question we’re grappling with an acoustic guitar here. For us, the 44.45mm nut takes us out of that mindset. Some users describe the Performing Artist/High Performance Taper setup this guitar has as having an electric-guitar feel.

Its light-coloured grain is punctuated with thick darker stripes that contrast beautifully with the ebony-like fingerboard and bridge, plus the ‘Faux Tortoise’ pickguard and a simple white multi-stripe soundhole rosette. This African wood is often used, not least by Taylor, as a more eco-friendly alternative to mahogany. This guitar’s top, back and sides are formed from solid sheets of sapele. For flatpickers and those pursuing a woodier tonality, rather than steely chime, look no further. Sustaining notes shine in the upper-mids with a pleasing, rounded bluegrass quality playing with a pick. That mahogany mid voice is there in abundance with a thumpy and defined low-end, rather than the boom that we’d hope to find from mahogany. This guitar’s relatively light weight for a solid build seems to aid an airer tonality without losing muscular projection. In many respects, the PM-1 is a textbook example of an all-mahogany dreadnought boasting a lot of the character that attracts players to this wood choice, but it feels notably livelier than some we’ve encountered. It really gives these models a premium vintage touch. And the checkerboard purfling for the top, rosette and back strip takes on influence from further back in time and recalls the old Weissenborn Style 4 rope binding. While we’re encountering more guitars in this price territory that aim for vintage Americana-style heritage, these models set a new standard for their price range. The mahogany tops have an indented texture to the grain that looks and feels vintage a thin ‘open-pore’ satin finish leaves their organic looks unhindered. And this guitar delivers on the quality we’d hope for from the iconic brand.

When Fender launched the Paramount series in 2016, it represented a new commitment to winning over players from a company that’s arguably not traditionally a go-to for acoustics.

Read our full Taylor Academy Series 10E review The Academy Series represents a very clear vision, and in many ways, a dream beginner guitar, as well as potential trade-up for some existing players – one that can inspire and go the distance with a guitarist’s from bedroom to stage.
Indeed this model it sounds and feels superior acoustically and plugged in than most models we’ve played in its class.
Plugged in, the ES-B represents the qualities of this guitar well. It will come down to personal preference for players between those two models, with shape and tonal balance, but both guitars fare very well as all-rounders at either end of the spectrum for delicate picking, and their projection doesn’t lose its clear definition under heavy strummed playing, either. The 10e offers lower mid presence alongside the deeper bass response in comparison to its smaller bodied sibling, the 12e’s, higher range energy. Combined with the response of this instrument, it creates an immediately enjoyable playing experience. The low action is extremely welcoming across the ebony ’board, too, and will help break boundaries for aspiring players. This guitar isn’t lacking Taylor’s spruce top hallmarks - bright and resonant trebles with assured projection. Nevertheless, despite the simple acrylic dot fret markers, it’s not completely utilitarian the laminated birch and fiber rope braid design rosette is understated but stylish. The notably light hue of the solid Sitka spruce here won’t be to some traditionalist tastes, but it gives the guitars a clean, defined look that, as we’ll find out, is reflective of performance.
