Smooth, baby. Aw yeah, that’s how we like it. Taylor apparently does too now that I have spent a little quality time with the 815CE.
I have been lucky enough to get the befuddled hams that serve as my hands on a number of high end musical instruments in my day, and it is always a cool experience. The exotic woods and attention to detail can inspire a man to consider whether or not he could be in love with an inanimate object. I know that’s weird, and I totally don’t care.
Also when you read guitar reviews, you’ll notice the use of language that is sort of meaningless. Sometimes it can be had to understand what a person means when they say the pickups “sparkle” or the sound is “crispy”. Are they describing a piece of chicken made of diamonds?
“Fit and finish” is a little bit easier to get a handle on, I think. I would define it as the way the thing is assembled, or the care taken to make sure all the joints line up.
I have never seen better fit and finish than on this guitar. It is smooth like you would not believe. Check out the sweet-as-monkey-meat wood binding on this neck, would you?
Man I just want to play the hell out of that thing for hours.
Even on some other guitars that cost the same or more you can feel the pointy ends of frets sometimes, but not on this guitar. It is the jamma-lamma ding-dong for real.
If I had the scratch I would definitely pick one up, but for now I am just trying to sneak into Avatar often enough to get my fix.
Nice work, Taylor. Amazing guitar!
