I was using a 214ce-n on my show tour it was purchased for me by Disney at the behest of the NYC-based sound designer. I've had ZERO issues with them in my house. I have plenty of other guitars (including full wood Washburns). They told me I'd have to plug it into a loud PA system at loud gig volume to hear it make a difference. 3 different shops told me it didn't work. Ended up selling it to someone with the issue known and took a HUGE loss.Īlso the pre -amp in that model did not have a useable treble knob. Anyone interested in that pricepoint could see the flaw. Kept it in a humidified case in a humidified room for another month, did not help. Essentially since the crooks at Sam Ash refused to take responsibility it was my fault. I tried contacting Taylor who did not help. A month later it was even worse and I could see the center seem of the front of the body sinking inward (which is why the gap was there to begin with). I take it back and they told me it's my fault for letting it get dry. (not a flaw) Within a month it got worse. They contacted Taylor and I was told it was "normal" and they don't necesarilly glue all the way to the edge. That being said - I have to let out this rant.Ī few days after I purchased it, I took it back to Sam Ash and expressed concern in a gap under the middle of the bridge. It seemed to have good volume and projection. Why is it always shoddy blues guitar and/or 4-chord open voicings, even on nylon-string guitars that cost thousands of dollars? And/or poor mic placement and choice. I understand that the different types of woods and the shape/size would make them different, but I don't know how exactly without having played one.Īs usual, all the demo videos I can find sound like rubbish, but that's going to be more on the players than on the instruments. The grounds for comparison would be a traditional classical model with all-solid woods. This is why I am curious if anyone on here owns or have tried the 312ce nylon model. We do have a 412ce-n in stock, but there's a whole long story here about employee discounts applying to new orders, etc etc. I am interested in perhaps ordering a 312ce-n, but no store has this in stock and I don't want to burden the store with an expensive guitar just so I can see if I like it. I work at a major Taylor dealer outside the US, and have become quite enamoured with this brand.
