Emile Bass « Excellent "versatility" »
Published on 08/24/11 at 10:10A very well finished flat top as anything offered by Taylor. Spruce top and bottom sides ovankgol. Ebony fingerboard.
UTILIZATION
The handle is very comfortable and thin enough to play the low E to the thumb very easily, finger picking is rather an advantage. Access to acute is limited but hey it's not a "cutaway", so no surprise ...
SOUNDS
I use string Elixir Custom Light (.011 .015 .022 .032 .042 .052) me sharing between finger picking and flat picking (bluegrass). Faur recognize that it can do everything, the sound is very balanced, I play finger closer to the soundhole, flat in I approach the bridge, in both cases, the attack is very nice, powerful pick. The sound is dasn each case very clear and very well balanced lipimde.
OVERALL OPINION
I gained hand back nearly 10 years, had long played a Martin D 18 of the 80 average bill frankly, no regrets about it, it was a wrestler's left hand to hold more one hour concert! On this 410, no need to "tap" to get a beautiful sound and a nice attack, it sounds all alone! I tested a Takamine, but their sound is too specific they, like Ovation at the time ... The value is very favorable, as all that has (or had?) Taylor, species are of high quality, very neat instrument making, delivered in a beautiful case ... The more I practice, the more its qualities are expressed as with any instrument. I brought up a microphone (and I mean a micro and not a sensor) Schertler under the saddle, the result is really high. It's a choice I would do definitely handle for comfort and versatility of a true Thurs
