I found a Used Taylor 214CE and then I purchased a Pre Amp LR BAGGS Venue to tighten up the sound even more. I think it sounds great! After playing the Taylor I would say it is quite different than my Takamine acoustic in terms of sound and i don’t have to play as hard on it to get the same sound. I would assume as you go up in Taylor models it continues to get even more such as the 314 and AD27. It just so happened I found a used 214 and it was in my budget so went a step up than I was thinking but totally worth it.
