The question is ” …
The question is “why should guitars be immune to all the advantages mass production brings to ever other facet of modern life?” I paid to have a neck hand-built once, it was poor, and not as good as a mass-produced one – why did I expect it to automatically be better? Machines are good at machining things, do you know about CNC machines? Again I ask “How can a smaller company automatically make better guitars than a larger company?”. I would expect the opposite.
For half the cost, …
For half the cost, guitars today play better, I can get cheaper electrics today for half the cost electrics were 30 years ago, and at twice the quality. For acoustics I think they are double the quality for the same price (although house prices are now 20 times higher) They feel better, stay in tune better, are better intonated, and have a better action. I don’t doubt a cost-no-object hand build would be excellent, but we are not talking about those guitars here.

what makes the new guitars ‘better’ than the ones that were made when there was less machinery involved?
Great Video. Thanks.

I got a 314CE taylor, and a Larrivee D05 and om50. Both the larrivees are better than the taylor – more subtle and easier to play (all were setup by a specialist), even though I paid less for the larrivees – all were new (mind you, the pickup ES system on the taylor is excellent, and would cost a lot to add). The Taylor is a little harsh. differences are the bracing and the shapes. the OM50 sounds the best – smaller body and larger soundhole makes it less boomy – excellent for recording

it’s your speakers, but it’s better to get the DVD or listen to the diff woods in a store

why should a large good company which uses mass-production be unable to match the quality of guitars made by a smaller company? The guitars on sale today are way better than the ones made when there was less machinery involved

Larrivees must be …
Larrivees must be the best value for money quality acoustics there are. I have an OM9 and C09, great guitars with very responsive necks. I rate them as good as my Santa Cruz D (although different voicing) and way better than Taylors that I have owned – find them one dimensional guitars that cut through a mix, but Taylors have no subtlelty. Also have a couple of high end acoustics – MciLroy and a Nigel Forster, now they are real class acts.
i couldn’t decide …
i couldn’t decide to buy between a larivee or a taylor. i ended up buying the taylor but at that point it was only for the brand haha. they’re both AMAZING guitars and larrivee’s are so much cheaper. i want to get one soon.
thats a really …
thats a really closed minded attitude. my larrivee has got to be the best sounding acoustic guitar i have heard. do yourself a favor and play one, it has the action of an electric, so good.
good job
good job

I’ve never even heard of Larrivee. They must be total pieces of shit. Taylors are the best guitars you can buy. Martins are good, but you just have to spend so much to get a decent one.
