All user reviews of 2/5 for the Taylor 414ce

I do not come back on the characteristics that have dj t cit but dwell on the realization.

Wood slectionns are good quality and the mcaniques prcises and stable. Cepandant Specifications manufacturing parat me strange. First observation: the guitar is heavy, which is for my rdibitoire hand on a massive quality acoustics. Either the wood are not dry enough or the thickness setting of the wooden box is insufficient, or internal dam is standard. Obviously there is a bit of everything ...
SECOND observation: the finish is far from being exemplary. Certainly the satin varnish of the body is pleasant and well applied but the rest left to be desired. Cash nets jointent not all correctly and those of the button, the hoop is very average and saddles are ... Plastic !!! The handle is not rgl and very poorly prepares guitar (adjustment of saddles, finishing frets ...)

USE

The handle is comfortable with a flat profile and a width at nut average. I find cepandant wear the sleeves to the profile c or v the radius pronounced fawn Martin more enjoyable and less tiring. But this is very subjective (pratiqus styles, hand size ...).
The cutaway -trs nice indeed and gives the mouth the guitare- access to the high notes is very good.
The Gnrale ergonomics is particulire binds to the weight of the guitar, it's pretty unpleasant.

SONORITS

The guitar is archi-rigid: the wooden box is very thick, internal dam is a real structure and it is likely that the drying was not performed correctly t. Consquent by the soundboard is a big board that offers no flexibility. The sound is balanced but unbearable aggressiveness. The varnish adds more to the rear got clean plastic polyester. This is equivalent of Takamine midrange.
The expression system is particularly ...! An imbalance between the standard filetes strings and those that are not (irrcuprable with qualiser), a patch near a micro rosette 30 euros. The Takamine did much better!

NOTICE GLOBAL

A guitar that's definitely not worth the price, all levels.
We are very very far, from the Enlightenment years, Taylor of 80 and 90 years, is the label that you pay here, not the product.
Taylor is trying to destroy everything that made its prestige, rolls of electro acoustic.
Martin, Adamas, Collings Santz Cruz, Lakewood and our luthiers are very very much better prices.

I will not go into the features that have already been mentioned but dwell on the achievement.

The selected wood is of good quality and the precise mechanical and stable. Cepandant Specifications manufacturing seems strange to me. First observation: the guitar is heavy, which is for me an acoustic mass rédibitoire on quality. The wood is not dry enough, or the thickness of the wood into the box is small, or internal bracing is enormous. Obviously there is a bit of everything ...
Second observation: the finish is far from exemplary. While the varnish satin-the body is nice and well applied, but the rest is poor. Nets jointent body does not properly as well as all of the key, the hoop is very average and the frets are ... plastic! The handle is not set and the guitar very badly prepared (adjusting frets, fret finishing ...)

UTILIZATION

The handle is comfortable with a flat profile and a width at nut average. Cepandant I just wear long sleeves or profile c v at radius Martin gave way more enjoyable and less tiring. But this is very subjective (practiced styles, size of hands ...).
By-cutaway also very nice and gives the guitar-face access to high notes is very good.
The ergonomics is particularly related to the weight of the guitar is quite unpleasant.

SOUNDS

The guitar is archi-rigid timber body is very thick, the internal bracing is a real structure and it is likely that drying was not done correctly. Therefore the soundboard is a big board that offers no flexibility. The sound is balanced but aggressive unbearable. The varnish adds more the aftertaste clean plastic polyester. This is equivalent to the Takamine midrange.
The expression system is particularly ...! A huge imbalance between the strings threaded and which are not (irrecoverable equalize with) a stamp near a microphone rose to 30 euros. Takamine there is much better!

OVERALL OPINION

A guitar that really is not worth the price at all levels.
It is very far away, light years, the Taylor 80 and 90 years, this is the label that we pay here and not the product.
Taylor is destroying everything that made its prestige, the rolls of electro acoustics.
Martin, Adamas, Collings, Santz Cruz, Lakewood and our craftsmen are very much far better at this price.
