Buenas! Soy nuevo en el foro y me gustaría que me ayuden con esta duda. Recientemente compré una Taylor 214ce de Koa, el detalle es que todo bien con el instrumento suena como esperaba salvo unas secciones, la nota E en la 5ta cuerda traste 7 y la 6ta traste 12 me suenan como palmuteadas y no tienen sustain y en las notas cercanas  a esta zona en la 6ta me pasa lo mismo ligeramente  en menor escala, a todo esto. Será un problema irreparable? O con un cambio de hueso o calibración esto puede corregirse. Gracias

Puede ser que necesite una puesta a punto (calibrada y/o rectificación). En lo posible llevasela a un luthier que ya haya metido mano a una taylor, porque tiene un sistema bastante particular para setear el mango.

@Gaston_335 a qué te referís con el sistema particular de seteo del mango?

El mango va atornillado, no encolado, y tiene lo que denominan shims, que son como unas chapitas de madera que le dan el ángulo al mango. Pego a continuación la descripción de la web de Taylor.

The Taylor Neck

Introduced in 1999 and a standard feature on Taylor guitars since 2001, the patented Taylor guitar neck was designed by Bob Taylor and his team to accomplish the primary goal of building a straighter, more stable guitar neck. While some guitar necks may bend in the face of humidity and other factors, the Taylor guitar neck stays stable and straight.

Don’t all guitars have straight necks? The answer is often yes, but the real question is will they stay that way?

Since its inception, the acoustic guitar had a major design flaw. The fretboard lacked sufficient support to remain truly straight because of top movement caused by changes in humidity. All guitars experience this phenomenon, often resulting in a slight bump at the 14th fret, but not all guitars respond to it in the same way.

The Taylor guitar neck is built from a continuous piece of wood that supports the ebony fretboard all the way up to the 19th fret. Traditional guitar necks lose that support at the 14th fret, relying instead on a “floating,” unsupported fingerboard extension that’s glued directly to the constantly-moving top. As a result, other guitar necks may bend, literally hinging at the 14th fret. But the Taylor guitar neck remains perfectly straight and stable.

The Taylor guitar neck sits securely in a custom-fit pocket that is inset with laser-cut spacers. There’s a perfect guitar neck angle for each Taylor, and our precision spacers create it. We’re talking about measurements in the thousandths of inches. The NT design ensures that every Taylor guitar neck is straight, the action is where it’s supposed to be, and the intonation is accurate.

Adjustability is another major advantage of the Taylor guitar neck. Since the neck angle is created by spacers and requires no glue, adjustment simply requires a repair person with a new set of spacers and about five spare minutes. Altering the guitar neck angle of a traditional neck assembly can require invasive surgery to remove wood and relocate the bridge.

Es la dead note, yo creo que no tiene solución. Muy común en las guitarras de caja. La 4ta en el traste 14 también debería sonar como lo estás describiendo.

No es para preocuparse.

Tengo una Taylor 214ce deluxe koa (es la misma que la tuya?? o viene normal koa?), la compré nueva, era intocable. La llevé a un luthier que la calibró y quedó 10 puntos!! Le cambié las cuerdas de .13 a .12 y es super cómoda. Pero me gustaba más el sonido de las .13. Fijate de llevarla a alguien que sepa!
