Taylor Action

[fretted]

I have several nice guitars; a few Martins, a couple of Gibsons, a Larrivee, etc. I have been monitoring the action on them since last fall. Every guitar except my Taylor 522 12 fret has required several action tweaks over the course of the seasons (I live in Pennsylvania). The  Taylor's action stayed solidly unmoved all year at 5/64" - Bass string at 12 fret. And amazingly, I hardly ever even have to re- tune the guitar even if it goes unplayed for month. One can argue tone and timbre, but Bob seems to have perfected the neck joint with the NT!

This doesn't surprise me  as I finding out the same thing .I stick a quarter under the 12 th fret to check it .I'm hot to trot for a new hand rubbed Maple 614 ce .but might not be able to get one cause are xchange  rate is starting to be a concern over here.

It's not just the NT. My '98 612 has never had anything done to it since new. The action has never moved, and it sat unplayed for several years.

I would agree. All my Taylors both pre- and post NT neck have been extremely low maintenance guitars.

It's truly remarkable. This has been with me in East TN most of it's life, but it has made trips to coastal FL, coastal SC, and northern VA/DC area, and one trip to LA (CA, not Louisiana). Rock solid.

Taylor has done a lot of work over the years to get the guitars to be stable.  They mention in the 30 year history book that they had to come up here to Minnesota to figure out why the guitars were going so out of whack and cracking more than in other places. In part, it lead to Taylor becoming more aware of the humidity issues and they helped get the word out to make sure a guitar is properly humidified at all times.
