Disappointing performance and quality
2 of 3 found this helpful After over 20 years of reading all those wonderful Taylor advertisements in guitar magazines like the ones of soldiers coming home and finally buying the Taylor guitar of their dreams I was able to purchase a new Taylor 314ce. I had purchased other cheaper guitars in hopes of paying less for a Taylor-like guitar. I bought several Carvin Cobalt on the used market. They played great and sounded excellent. I bought a new Yamaha AC3M and A3R and was amazed at the tone, play-ability and Chinese workmanship. So I finally went for the Taylor 314ce after researching that Sapele was a little brighter than mahogany. The guitar arrived safely from Sweetwater and I allowed it to acclimate for 12 hours before unpacking. The action was OK with some buzzing. The tone was OK ... I actually preferred the warmer tones of Yamaha AC3M unplugged and plugged in. The Yamaha also had a builtin tuner and nice mic emulations.The Taylor had finish issues with dirt in the finish. The Carvins and Yamahas had perfect finishes. The Yamahas and Carvin all had perfect Spruce tops while the Taylor exhibited several dark grains. My past experience was that over time these darker grains will start as surface checking and eventually crack depending on how many outdoor gigs they see. The pickup system on Yamahas to my ear were more balanced and true than the Taylor's. I went for the 314ce as these was one of Lindsey Buckngham's stage and studio guitars per the Taylor site. However Lindsey's older version had a more versatile pickup system than the current 2018 version. Would the 414 have been a better choice? Our touring friend just dumped his in favor of a Martin guitar which he found had a fuller richer tone. The Taylor is a nice guitar overall however it was NOT what bucket-lists are made off.

Stiff cable
This is an extremely stiff, unforgiving cable. So while it passes signal very well, trying to get this beast to uncoil and untangle on stage or in the studio was a huge chore. My pLoYnK and Canare cables are so much more flexible and audibly responsive.

Disappointing quality
I was severely disappointed in the quality of these XLR studio cables. All of them would lose connection with the microphone and cut out when moved around. Avoid these at all costs.
