(please press like if you like the video) I picked this up a few days ago (December 6, 2021) so I don't have a ton of experience on it but so far I am very impressed. I've using a Martin replica guitar for the past 40 years, leading worship at church, playing with friends, and just having fun. I wanted to honor my mother who passed away and so I decided to get a quality name brand guitar so tha...

Is it possible to make these holes with scissors ? I don’t have that hole punch thing :(
I would say to use whatever you can so that it works for you!
Does this keep them from hurting your ear
They never hurt my ears so I can’t say for sure but if I were to guess, if the AirPod design hurts your ears, I suspect that none of these options will help. it’s just a guess though.
Beautiful guitar. I am pretty sure that is a bookmatched (2 piece) top and a bookmatched 2 piece back as well, but may be a 4 piece that Taylor likes to do. it is masterfully put together though. Cheers!
Thanks for your comment and complement. it is definitely the right guitar for me. It makes me smile every time I look at it and play it. You’re correct. It’s definitely book matched, but it’s really well done. I still love the guitar. Sometimes I’ll go to a couple of my local guitar stores and try out other Taylors, Martins, Guild, Yamaha, Fender. and Ibanez and what ever the other brands they have, this one is still my favorite for combination of sound and playability.
@@robertphillips4155 And that's what matters. When you find the guitar you love looking at, that melts into your body when playing, and sings..... oh yes... and you play it a lot more. :) Again, wonderful guitar... and lovely playing. Cheers.
Same here. AirPods are bought for the name only. There are much better bigger brands than Apple.
Thanks again for sharing
Thanks for your comment
Watching from Ireland
Thanks for checking it out!
my hack is.. use rubber band, wait! it's a special type of knot! i promise your ears won't hurt so only the tension is on the airpods themselves you won't even feel the rubber band at all.. find a rubberband, put an airpod through and let it hang.. (do a bowline) fold a simple p on one singular string, then flip like a coin the simple p like .. pull out that line through the p and stretch and tighten the bigger hole, hang the bigger hole up around and below onto your ear (I only discovered this a few minutes ago!) I'm not sure why not many people have thought this up yet 👌
Thanks for your comment and for sharing your solution. Let us know how it goes after you’ve used it for a month or so.
5 years later and still works half the time
Yeah … so frustrating!
Thank you for the three great ideas.
Thanks, I'm glad that this video is still of use.
They keep falling out what wa the point of evening making them I should have not bought them they should have designated them better
Thanks for comment, I can’t imagine how difficult it would be to make something that fits every person in the world. Maybe you can come up with a solution. That’s how amazing products are made, find a need and meet it. Best to you! :^)
Great review
Thank you, that’s very kind of you to say
I Use My xm3 to sleep in . So super quiet
Thanks for sharing
My issue with bose is still no LDAC . SBC AAC just don't cut it over LDAC . Now I can use my BTR3K to get ldac on any headphone but it should be Native on bose . . .
@DroidLocks6971 I hear you on that. I don’t know if it’s a licensing issue or what but as far as I know they don’t have it. If that is really important to you then the Bose is probably not for you. For me, my ears are not that discerning to tell the difference, and I don’t listen to music that closely so I personally don’t care.
@@robertphillips4155 thank you for responding
Missing ur videos
@user-nq9my4ii4o, thank you
@@robertphillips4155 will u post any video?
They stay in the ear unless you do something crazy like stand or walk. My remedy is to go 4X4 ; this means I put the earbuds upside down in the opposite ears. The sound is still great and the earbuds stay put, even during cardio.
thanks for your reply and suggestion. I did try them upside down didn’t work for me. They always fell out. But it does work with some people.
OK.. But how to get it to stay in your ear? It falls out. How to stop that?
Thanks for your comment. For me I fixed it by purchasing the AirPod Pro.
I dont know how I came to this video, but I love it and its so wholesome :)))
@Tom LW, thanks for your comment, it’s pretty tasty
I really enjoyed your story. Thank you for sharing!
@Transients, Thanks for your comment, glad you enjoyed it!
Liked. Did you perchace play this Walnut against the 724CE all Koa? Wondering about the difference between Koa and Walnut. Beautiful tone here. Thanks!
@2 Music Lover thank you for your comment. I did not play and compare it to an all Koa. When I was shopping there was not one available at any of the shops I visited.I would be interested to hear the difference though. I found that the sound that others hear from the guitar is different than what I hear above the guitar when playing. It is a much richer sound to others than what I hear. I've been very pleased with my purchase.
The sound of this guitar reminds me my Koa version. Spectacular choice! The dynamic range, articulation and accuracy of Taylor's instruments In general (and your guitar in particular) it's just out of this world! There's nothing quite like it on the market. Other brands are not on the same level IMHO. So be happy and keep what you already have and maybe just get a second guitar e.g. More fatty - Taylor 324ce Mahogany || More mellow - Taylor 724ce Koa || More Boomy - Taylor 618e Spruce Top (Maple Back and Sides). Or just change the thickness of your guitar pick and the way you're playing to get it sound the way you want. I think you got yourself an incredible instrument right there!
@Eli, thank you for your comment, I totally agree. as I've played it more and am getting my guitar feet back under me (I stopped playing for many years) I've found that the sound I hear from above the guitar is quite different than the sound that comes out of the sound hole. It has a good rich sound with the Taylor brightness . . perfect for me.
i wanted to see where you connected the positive cable, since you went straight to the battery that is on all the time even when the bike is not. My fear is if i do that it could kill the battery. or maybe not if it’s not charging anything. thoughts?
@joejoeMan923 I believe that there is a small amount of battery drains as the voltage is stepped done but it’s not significant enough fore to ever notice. I rode daily for a while (commuting) until I could work from home and then once every week or two and never had any battery issues. if you want to be safe, find a switched wire and tap into it.
@@robertphillips4155 Thanks for responding, Looking through the other comments I see a lot are asking the same question. I did it the same seems ok. If you see a video or know where to connect easily for switched power please share.
I know exactly how you feel. The minute you turn off the camera, they will fall out.
The fact that I have to look up a tutorial on how to draw a straight line in a note application ... come on Microsoft
Yeah, can't argue that one
Try those new daddario coated strings on your taylor, you won't regret it!
Thanks for the tip
I have nine guitars and seven are Taylors, Taylor is the best of the best and I've owned just about every brand you can name.I have a 1980 Martin D-28 it's the only Martin guitar I've ever liked and I've owned Twelve Martin guitars previously including other D-28S, D-35S D-28 twelve string a D,-45 and a HD-28 the only Martin I actually loved and I still have it is this1980 D,-28,But in I prefer Taylors guitars over Marty I fell in in love with Taylor build there sound and there playability they to me are the very best guitars made and I've had every bry you can just about name.
@Mark Staggs thanks for your comment and for sharing your experience. Wow, sounds like you are either rolling in cash or totally broke :^)! Sounds like a very cool collection. I've had a few brands as well, Alvarez, Epiphone, Wesminster, Sears (my first), nothing like you though. I'm loving the Taylor, the neck is so comfortable and playable and the walnut is rich in sound with a good bass.
@@robertphillips4155 yes I am blessed with being able to afford these great guitars and I'm not done yet lol my wife hates when I go guitar stores,But you can't never have enough guitars,I had a 418ce which I sold because a guy wouldn't let up he had to have that guitar but I really reqret selling it .I've had many expensive brands but I found my love in Taylor guitars
u love the guitar it sounds great i understand what your saying
@ComicKish thanks for your comment, I appreciate it.
Thx soooo much
Glad it was helpful :^)
I watched both of your videos throughout my journey of discovering the right Taylor for my taste. Between all models it’s a difficult choice as we all know😅 I’m struggling between the KC24 and the 724ce. Your videos are very informative and I appreciate you sharing! It’s helped dial in my search.
@Branden Sanchez thanks for your comment. I'm glad that the videos provided you with food for thought. It IS tough figuring out what is right for you. even though I kept the walnut guitar ... and LOVE it, I sometimes wonder if I should have kept the sinker redwood one. Too late now so it's a non issue. Either way, I don't regret getting a Taylor. I think I got more guitar for my money. Deciding between a K24 and a 724CE is a tough decision. And now they have the new Koa 724CE. You just have to play them and see what you think. If you are near a Guitar Center I can say that I had a wonderful experience with them. No problems buying a guitar, playing it a week or so and then exchanging it if I wasn't happy with it .... amazing. Best of luck to you as you decide, let me know the outcome.
I have always shopped my guitars from the same shop for decades and when i decided to go to a high-end guitar i went in hell bent on leaving with a Martin D-28. I ended up with a Taylor 414ce which i upped to a Taylor 814ce a few years later, at no point have i regretted this decision. The Taylor has the brightness of tone, and a well defined low end i prefer. I would like to remove the pick guard but i'm not sure how long Paul has had the instrument in his inventory, that being said it's a real wood pick guard and i have recently started playing with a pick a little more so i'll leave it alone. When it comes to Travis picking or hybrid picking i thing Taylor takes the prize.
@John C. thanks for your comment and for sharing your experience. I have been enjoying the guitar that's for sure. As they say, the best guitar is the one you are playing.
i love this guy
I have had too many problems with Sony products in general. Two defective TVs and one defective set of in-ear headphones. That is enough to put me off. I have the Bose QC35s and so to does my girlfriend. We have had them a few years now with no issues other than having to replace the ear cushions through constant wear - but I think that is acceptable after year of use. Also, we can both watch a movie together when on the plane - this is not possible with the Sonys.
@Tom Edward thanks for your comment and for sharing your experience. It may help other making a decision.
Xm4 are very comfy for me
@enel78 I’m so happy that you have a solution you like and is comfortable for you! Thanks for sharing
She's a beauty and sounds amazing
Thanks, looks even better with the pick guard off.
Oh my heavens! Your laugh is fantastic!
Thanks, you are very kind
great review I have 3 gen now!!!!!
@Curtis Pazar thanks for your comment. I ended up getting the Air Pods Pro when they came out and they resolved all of my issues. How do the 3 gen work?
I had the rare opportunity to “invest” in a K22ce thru sweetwater (pandemic - otherwise never would have spent so much without playing). Thought I was loosing my mind - HATED IT. 6 different type of strings - no go. My Martin OM-28 and I have been happy ever since. I hate pickguards too - similar tastes! Lol. Enjoy - thanks for the vid.
@Dave Swart thanks for commenting and sharing your thoughts and experience. Each guitar is so individual but there are definitely sounds and tones to each brand. There really is no right or wrong, just the sound you r trying to create. I’m glad you landed on one that fits you well!
Very helpful to this day! Thanks for sharing.
@MariMouse thanks for your comment, I was just thinking of deleting the video as there is now a drawing tool that will do straight lines, at least in U.S. do you not have the drawing tools in your iPad version?
@@robertphillips4155 oh, good to know! I'm new to onenote and didn't see it in there before, but yeah, my version has it. thanks!
The timing is good on this. I just got back from visiting my daughter in Nashville yesterday, and I stopped back in their GC to see if they had any of these. They did and I really enjoyed playing it. I'm thinking some time I may bring in my 2020 714 with the Lutz top to compare how they sound. But I really do like this walnut 714. I think I'm glad you changed the strings back. On your previous video I thought it was pretty creative to put on the Martin strings to get a richer sound but I do think - as well as you can tell on a CZcams video - that the elixers do sound a little better. I do like the Taylor "clarity" and I think you get a little more of that sound this way. I like the gold tuners. I've got a 2002 714 and it has gold Grover tuners - which do look good I think - and work well. And a passing thought - I like the look without the pickguard on this guitar because of the beauty of the wood. Even though I've played a long time and think I don't beat my guitars up too much - I do notice light wear or marking on my pickguards. You could try a clear guard that would offer some protection and maybe not hide the wood too much. Enjoyed the video and love the guitar! . . . also meant to mention you can play with your tone by trying different picks. I ordered an assortment when I got my 2020 and ended up using a medium gauge pick, and my favorite is a Fender that has the rubber cover made over the top of the pick so it doesn't shift in my hand so much. Otherwise around a .96mm sounded best to me.
@Ron Chappell good to hear from you again. Thanks for sharing your experience, thoughts, and complement. I agree regarding the pick guard. I've ordered a custom walnut pick guard from Bob's Customer Plates (www.bobscustomplates.com/). It just shipped so I'm not sure what it will look like but the picture he sent me of the piece of wood that he was going to use looks great. A lot of textures and warm colors. I'm excited to see what it looks like. You are absolutely correct regarding different picks. The material and thickness all effect the tone. I've got a bag full of different picks, thick and thin wood ones, plastic, nylon, etc. My current favorite is the Jim Dunlop .60. I also like the Riversong .46 wood pick. If I'm practicing scales or jamming on lead I like a stiffer one, maybe .80.
what about the desktop version please ??
@Joshua Barker I’m not sure what you are asking. On the desktop version click on the Draw tab, select line, click and drag
I just bought one of these. The walnut really broadens the tones. I played an 814 too, sane price, totally different experience. As you might expect. It felt softer too. I'm not much of an acoustic player, but it's simply gorgeous in every way.
@Craig Merriman thanks for sharing … that is so cool! Congratulations. I’ve had a bit of an adventure with mine and am trying to snag some time to do a quick video on it. The short story is, don’t put Martin Phosphor Bronze on it, they suck a bit of life out of this particular guitar. I also peeled the pickguard off and love the look. I’d love to see some pictures of yours.
@@robertphillips4155 I'll try to send pics tomorrow. I'm using Elixir strings the first time, very nice. On my electrics I use D'adarrio 9-42, pretty basic. I have a bunch of guitars. They get the job done and don't break the bank 🙂
@@robertphillips4155 Silly question.. how do I send you pictures?
@@CraigRMerriman Would probably have to either post it to your Facebook page or send via Messanger
@@CraigRMerriman I have not tried the D'addario strings yet, though I've purchased some. After the Martin string debacle I'm hesitant to try others just to throw money away. It's the only way I'll know what sounds best on my guitar though. When my Elixir's go dead I'll try the D'addario's. The Martins' sound great on my Westminster dreadnought
That's sounds so good
@Daddy Thrasher thanks for sharing. I’ve really been enjoying it. I hope to post a follow-up video this week.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
I laughed with you when they didn't fall out. Good solutions. Thank you.
@Vince thanks for sharing. It made me smile to know that I made you laugh
I really enjoyed your video. I'm a Taylor 714 guy - and it's surprising how your assessment of these guitars matches my own opinions. I've got a 2020 714 that I've really enjoyed, and also ended up buying a 2002 714 that still plays great and offers a little more mature tone. It's odd how I go back and forth on which one I really prefer the tone of. The new one with the v-class bracing I do think is more articulate than the older one. I also played the model you got at Guitar Center, and I have to say that I absolutely loved it. Had it been available when I got my 2020 I very well might have purchased it had I had the chance to play the two side-by-side. And, your video struck me in that I also made my new purchase following the passing of my mother who was probably my lead into music. Anyway, congrats on your new guitar. I know you're going to love it! (just looked at your channel and see you've got a Fat Boy. I've got a Roadglide Ultra that I really enjoy. Ride safe!)
@Ron Chappell thanks for your comments and input. It's a sweet guitar. A little more mellow than the typical Taylor due to the all walnut construction. Regarding the Fat Boy, It's a sweet ride. During the hot summer days that engine sure puts out a lot of heat sitting at a traffic light! Those Roadglides are very smooth.
I wasted hours comparing these two hoping to make the right choice. I hoped the Sonys' bass would really punch me up but they sound 'quiet' even on full blast. You want the bass drop to rattle you but they're only headphones. Not because they're quiet (they're not) but that headphone feeling is nothing like listening to music through speakers. I enjoy music 100x more even through a £30 set of 2.1 Logitechs than any of these headphones. I wasted a lot of time for no reason on this Bose v Sony debate. I tried them and I didn't even understand when noise cancelling was on or off because the app seemed to show it off but there was still some weirdness coming through the earpiece. I'm clearly not the right person for this malarky. I just wanted to listen to music properly and not wake my baby up and I stumbled upon this high-tech world of totally useless features (for me). If you aren't like me and you actually want noise cancelling headphones, pick the Bose. Why? They are way more comfortable. And what Sony's make up for in sound quality and app-features really isn't enough to make it worth the sweaty ears because as I said, they're only headphones. They're not gonna blow your head off. Not the Boses, not the Sonys. I enjoyed my time in this world of meaningless (to me) debate but I'll stick to my Logitechs and my apple ear pods which are good enough quality don't make my ears sweat and don't cost half my rent.
Thanks for your comment, I appreciate it. I too wasted many hours and thus the reason for my video. People commenting and sharing their experience helps others be more informed and provides food for thought.
I think it's funny that avoiding taking off the tank seemed to be more of a pain than taking the tank off. Only takes a couple mins.
Thanks for the comment. I couldn’t figure out how to get it off without getting gasoline all over everything and possibly breaking hoses. Maybe you can do a video on removing the tank.?
Comfort is my thing. You can't beat the QC35 for Comfort. Flew to Europe from Australia, 22 hours I had those things on my head with no problems at all, so comfortable and I was just in my own little world the whole time. Makes a huge difference.
