Like I said on YT: master builder, master player. And Andy's gentle music probably tells a lot about his character. I'm still not into (the hype of) buying a new guitar, but he's killing me softly...

very 8)

before joining Taylor, Andy built a trio of complementary instruments
http://www.andypowersinstruments.com/letter-from-andy.html

to me, it sounds like the voicings of the 800s in the video are "playing well" together -
i've yet to play a 818e (2013 FE or 2014) that has that bottom end presence, but
the 810e & one of the examples of the 814ce & 816ce were very impressive to me

whether it's "hype" depends on the player & whether what they hear meets or exceeds their expectations -
unless one has played one, or a few, first, to me it's a pretty closed-minded attitude to have, imho, but whatever ::)
