Taylor 314CE Reviews4 Found On 2004-09-22, D. M. Wood gave this Taylor Acoustic Guitar a 5...(10133)
Purchase: I bought this guitar from Strings and Things in Memphis, TN for $1349.00.
Pros: This guitar has an incredible, full sound. I liked the Grand Auditorium design, but the Taylor was the first one I played. The look and beautiful finish on this guitar made it stand out. There were other Taylors, Takamines, Ovations, and Martins in the store, but after playing them all, I came back to the 314ce because I just loved the sound. Also, it was equipped with a Fishman Stereo Blender preamp. I understand that most 314ce's came with the Fishman Prefix Plus prior to the new Expression System Taylor is now using.
Cons: The saddle tended to saw the recommended .010 gauge strings in half when I played vigorously. Switching to .013 strings solved the problem.
Quality: Mahogany sides and back, Sitka Spruce top. What can I say? It's a Taylor. Summary: This a beautiful, great sounding guitar. I wish I had another just like it with the Expression System Taylor uses now.

Purchase: Had a Martin DCME on layaway at another shop, and found this 314CE at Sigler Music. Had played a 314CE before, but this one just felt way too familiar. Cancelled my Martin, and paid $1300 cash.
Pros: Fishman electronics are state of the art, and this guitar plays like something costing twice as much. My first Taylor, but not my last.
Cons: So far, the only problem is not having enough time to play it.
Quality: It's a Taylor, period. Their reputation for fit, finish, and quality of construction is not a myth....they earned it. Summary: They are expensive, and not advertized much. There are also other great manufacturers out there in similar price ranges. However, if you find a Taylor that speaks to you the way this one did me, buy it...........right then.

Purchase: Acquired in September, 2000 at Diapasão (music store). Paid 440.000 PTS (taxes included).
Heard and read several comments about Taylor acoustic guitars but never played one. They are rare in Portugal, Diapasão only receives a few every year.
Pros: Fantastic tone and intonation, bass and treble very present. Excellent playability (everything sounds). Fishman preamp already fitted. Simple look and decoration. 1 3/4 with at neck makes it very good for fingerpicking.
Cons: After playing it for 2 months I'm completely satisfied. I have no comments against anything.
Quality: I'm not an expert but the fantastic intonation and the sound quality have much to do with the contruction.
Summary: It's not cheap, but it has everything I would expect from a quality instrument. I also tried the 414CE but like the 314CE sound much better.

Purchase: I made my purchase in store at the guitar center (NJ). I spent 1300.00 after tax
Pros: I found this model to have the sweetest tone and balance after playing the 414,614 both of which are considerably more money than the 314ce i purchased.
Cons: nothing
Quality: A well designed n solid guitar. It has all the attributes of a guitar costing much more.
Summary: Play it n you'll love it
