So, you sold a bunch of crypto, finally got your tax return, bought a winning lottery ticket or whatever good fortune became you and you now have $3000 to spend on an acoustic guitar (because your neighbors aren't fond of listening to loud amplifiers and screaming electric guitars). Well, these two guitars fit right into that price range.
The new kid on the block is the Taylor 417e-R. It's got a solid Sitka Spruce top with Indian Rosewood back and sides, as well as Taylor's Expression 2 pickup system. The beautiful gloss nitro body is paired to a satin finish mahogany neck with ebony fretboard. And Taylor's proprietary V-class bracing allows this guitar to punch above it's slope shouldered appearance would have you think it should.
But the Gibson Hummingbird is a segment favorite. With it's square shouldered body and distinctive Hummingbird and flowers pickguard, this acoustic has been a revered model since it was first introduced at the beginning of the 1960s. The LR Baggs pickup gives it the ability to fill a stadium with sound when connected to amplification. And the Sitka Spruce top with Mahogany back and sides make this guitar's sound easy to love.
At the time of recording, the Taylor 417e-R has a sticker price of $2999, while the slightly older Hummingbird has a used price of anywhere from $2099 to $2999, depending on appointments and how much it's current owner values it. Which one would you choose? I tell you my choice at the end of the video, so kick back and enjoy!
