Taylor Guitars 400 series has long been held as a huge value in the builder's line up and the guitar world at large. This has increased over the years with the move to rosewood. The line up has been newly revised for 2023 with aesthetic changes and new body shapes. The popular 412ce and 414ce receive new inlays, rosette and a sunburst top that sets it apart from the rest of Taylor's lineup. We're fans! Find out why!

I’m with Manny. I’d jump on that 412 in a heartbeat if my CFO would approve it… Update: She approved! My new 412ce is on its way. Great review, guys.

how are you liking it compadre?

Taylor 400s are great. I picked up the 414ce limited (sinker redwood) and just love it. First song I played was "Take on Me" and naturally named her Ellie. Maybe I should pick up one of these 412s and name it Joel.

Glad they came out with the new 400 lineup; because it I was able to pick up a huge discount on the last natural finish 412ce-R in a store. 🙂

Great demo Cooper! I like the variety of sounds you are showcasing, including the light jazz chords. Great lead work as always.

I bought the 417 as soon as I found one. My absolutely favorite Taylor I've ever owned (6 and counting). I'm really surprised they didn't put black tuners on the new 400's. First two things I did to mine was replace the silver with black, and install a LR Baggs Anthem pickup with a battery compartment mod to still be able to use the Taylor battery holder. The black looks so much better.

They sound great! However, I fell in love with the revamped 512ce red ironbark and the Taylor Taylor Custom Flamed Maple GA 9-string. Thanks Chris and Cooper

Great video guys! Cooper, I love your playing! I’m an older player with aging hands, so the 412 would be a no brainer for me. You guys are so good at clarifying the differences in tone wood, scale length, body sizes and which body style etc, works best for what type of player you are. Thanks for doing such a great job in explaining the differences of these guitars.

I still have my 2006 412ce. it has character as it was my main guitar until late end of last year. this is great seeing and hearing something really new! (still prefer my 06 model cause of the bracing and such but thats just personal preference like its back and sides being ovankol. Great video as always guys thank you!

I have bought a limited edition Custom 414CE spruce rosewood sunburst but with gold hardware, larger inlays. I like that bettter because of the off white almost cream binding instead of brilliant bright white with these new 400 series.

@johnwashburn3793 Жыл бұрын

It is great to see something that most can agree on: this style of sunburst and trim. It is very similar to my Martin CEO 7 and my neighbor's Gibson. If only everything was this way. .

These are great, but I got my 714ce with the Lutz spruce top before the switched to Koa. Since I already have a 712 (97) I am covered on rosewood.

Something is stressing Cooper hope he'll be fine soon! He plays guitar so well, I think sometimes that's the only thing he really needs and wants :))

Taylor made a special edition guitar to go along with the last of us 2 game. A 314ce with a special moth inlay in the fretboard. Good luck getting one now. There's a couple on Reverb. A mere $14000 asking price (or more).

Taylor is popular. Raj played one 414 or 412 on The Big Bang Theory 😊. Rare to see a brand name guitar on shows. Kudos!🎶🎶🎶

Taylor already made a limited edition 314ce with a custom moth inlay on the third fret back in 2020 for the The Last of Us Part II

@@TheKamikaze104 yea when i saw those prices online i really had to fight myself to keep it… although i‘m super careful with it, keep it in the case 99% of the time and only play it rarely. kinda sad bc i actually wanted a new workhorse guitar

i have always been an _14ce Taylor guy (114ce, 414ce, and a 714ce) thru the years - and only recently strayed when I cane across the 816ce Builders Edition... Now, I'm looking at the 412ce and wondering why I hadn't even considered these models in the past??? (Maybe the stores just didn't really atock them? I dunno, but seems silly in retrospect...)

Hey guys! I’m a fan and subscriber. Live in Pittsburgh and a couple of months ago traded up to this new 412ce that you’re showing. My questions are for Cooper: I have guitar ( and all things !) OCD and have been a bit of a restless pick seeker. And I gravitate to those with a bit of a grip-stable surface Dunlop prime grip Delrin 500, 71 thick. What do you use ? Also, if I occasionally strum with a medium-heavy attack will I be disappointed or will the definition get muddy? Thanx- Steve

Wonder how a parlor guitar (610-625mm scale length) with a manouche body (470x403x100) will sound ))

@solaris6096 Жыл бұрын

Honestly not too thrilled with the new sunburst finish, feels like a step backwards that both options aren't kept available. I'll have to keep an eye out on the second hand market for the old natural version to pop up.

@AlamoMusic Жыл бұрын

The natural version is still available! Just needs to be special ordered, but we will keep the natural top in stock-- we have a 414ce-R Natural right now!

I believe Taylor made a special guitar for TLoU2 that featured a beautiful recreation of Ellie's tattoo that covers her bite scar; a moth on a leaf in the fret inlays... check it out!
