Product: Taylor Guitars 110
Price Paid: #530 (GBP)

Features : 5
Don’t be put-off by my “5″ rating as there is a good reason for this. This guitar is simple. It has no electronics, no pointless pretty bits and no 9crt gold lining. But thats why I LOVE it. It is exactly what you want from a acoustic guitar. A good, solid simple guitar.

Sound : 10
Insane sound! I went to the biggest music store in my area, and literally tried every acoustic guitar up to #650 and I can definately say that this was by far the nicest sound produced by any of the countless guitars I tried. I had the money there and then to purchase a black, #650 takamine guitar, but after trying out the Taylor 110, I realised that it sound was superior to any other guitar in its price range.

It has a very clean, articulate sound. Every note is well defined and the sustain is endless. I couldn’t agree more with the other reviews saying the string-to-string balance is brilliant, because….well….IT IS! Although a loud guitar, it produces bright soft tones when you play gently and then has that typical taylor attack when strummed hard. Best strings for this are the Elixir’s in my opinion.

Action, Fit, & Finish : 8
Finish is flawless and natural - very nice curved back and smooth body. The neck is very natural with little lamination but feels great. Very basic, but flawless.
The action was exactly how I like it. The strings are quite taught and the shop-set-up action was very good.

Reliability/Durability : 9
Very solid guitar - can’t see any weak spots and has that typical Taylor durability

Customer Support : No Opinion
Presume Taylor would be good, but haven’t delt with them yet.

Overall Rating : 9
Overall an incredible guitar for the money. If your looking for an acoustic below #650 then this gets my vote. It is a simple, solid, flawless acoustic that has an amazing sound. EASILY the best sounding acoustic I have ever played on. I hate it when people say this, but I have to agree with this particular model, it does look, sound and feel A LOT more expensive - when I first played it, I thought it was a #1k Taylor.
