« Taylor 410ce »

I purchased the guitar in Indianapolis, IN, in late December 2001; a choice I have not regretted. I paid around $1500, as I recall. The main reasons I use an acoustic guitar is for songwriting, playing in the praise & worship band at my church, and for coffeehouse performances.

This guitar has excellent playability and better than average electronics. Great sound acoustically, as a solo instrument as well as accompaniment for vocal and ensemble presentations. It is especially good when you consider the cost. In my opinion, this guitar compares favorably with much more expensive instruments.

No dislikes; I'm very happy with my purchase.

Extremely well designed and built. I love the Ovankol sides and back; and the neck contruction is superior. This is a truly well-made guitar.

This is the bottom-line: I would not hesitate to recommend the Taylor 410ce to any musician as an all-around excellent working instrument for recording and stage performances. I love my Taylor and would not part with it (except, perhaps, for another Taylor).
