While the brick and mortars were shutdown I ordered a Taylor 414ce from GC. Got a mini hog on the BOGO also. GC desperately gave a 6 month return period assuming guitar sales were going to tank. They guessed wrong. Did not like the Ovangkol. The retails opened back up for curbside and the web showed me which locals had what in stock. Traded up for a 414ce-R. Meh. Exchanged it in for an 814ce. Then, in for a penny, got the 814ce Dlx. This is a significantly better guitar than the 414. Better quality woods - tighter grain spruce with silking, darker Rosewood. The thin finish contributes a lot to the 814’s finger picking response. Yeah, the 814s are worth the extra grand or so.
