"Great guitar."

Overall:

Overall, great guitar that is fun to play at a reasonable price.

Sound
Great sounds, great projection, great sustain. In the music store where I bought this guitar, it sounded better than other Taylor and Martin guitars in the store costing two to three times as much. In fact, the store owner saw me trying out the numerous acoustic guitars in the acoustic room and said this particular Taylor 210 sounded better than almost all of the other guitars and he was right. I have seen expensive guitars sound so-so and mid-range guitars sound great. I have also seen two guitars with the same model number and components sound very different, too. I would recommend that the buyer get the feel of the guitar and hear the sound of the guitar before buying it. Just because a guitar has a famous name on it and is expensive does not guarantee that it will sound great.

Features
This guitar has the features that you would expect and all that are needed. The guitar appears to be well made. I did have the saddle lowered so it would be easier to play. Plays great now.

Ease of Use
I had the saddle lowered so it would be easier to play. It played good before but it plays great now.

Quality
Well made, sturdy, and attractive guitar. I own four guitars including a Martin, but probably play this Taylor 210 more that any of the others.

Value… read more
Very good value.

Manufacturer Support
I have no need to deal with the company.

The Wow Factor
