Thread Name: Guitar Opinion - Taylor 410 CE
Subject: RE: Opinion - Taylor 410 CE
I've owned four taylors and still have three. I had highlander stand alone mics installed, rather than getting the on board electronics (the early version made good guitars sound like an ovation through the sound system). I've had the K14c since 1998, the 30th anniversary model since 2005, and a GS since 2006. The 14 and the GS both have cedar tops and I like the scale length on the anniversary model.
I have heard good larivees over the years, but haven't played one personally that caused guitar lust. On one occasion I won about $2800 in the Illinois lottery (matched 5 out of 6 numbers) and figured I splurge on a new guitar. I went to my favorite music store and tried every larivee there. I have heard some played by others that sound great. Just a matter of what works when you're playing them. I'm hesitant to say one brand of guitar is better than another.
