I had one for several months. They were the entry level full size Taylor at the time. The 300 series was not produced. At least in 95 and 96. There were 412's in Mahogany and 420's in Maple. They were both dreadnaught bodies. The one I owned had lots of volume. I strung it with lights. Accorinding to the Taylor catalog (which came with the guitar) the guitar would handle medium strings. I believe the 420 had an 2 11/16th nut width. At least mine did. I used it as a travel guitar last year as I spent several months on the road.
Because they were the entry level guitar they were very plain jane in appearance.
I traded mine as part of the purchase of an 810 from another forum member.
Just my $.02 on the subject.
