Taylor 410ce FLTD Natural - USA 2011

The Taylor 410 is the dreadnought of the 400 Series, offering a big, full-bodied voice with the precision and playability Taylor builds into every guitar. The Fall Limited Edition releases take that proven platform and vary the tonewoods and appointments, producing guitars that are available for a short time only, and this 410ce FLTD is one of them.

This example was built in 2011 as part of Taylor’s 2012 Fall Limited Edition release. It pairs a Western red cedar top with blackwood back and sides, finished with a gloss top and satin back, sides and neck. The back is a three-piece construction with a rock maple mini-wedge in place of a backstrip, which gives the contrasting centre strip. Rock maple also appears in the body binding, the fretboard binding, the 4mm dot inlays and the special-size single-ring fishbone rosette. The Venetian cutaway, ebony headstock veneer, ebony bridge and pins, tortoiseshell pickguard and Taylor’s Expression System electronics complete the guitar.

The dreadnought shape delivers strong projection and a punchy low end that suits strumming, flatpicking and band work. The cedar top brings a warm, responsive voice, and the blackwood back and sides add a lively, focused character. The mahogany neck with ebony fingerboard, Sitka CV bracing with relief rout, and the 25.5" scale with 1.75" nut feel immediately familiar to anyone used to a Taylor, while the Venetian cutaway keeps the upper frets accessible and the onboard electronics make it just as at home on stage as it is in the lounge room.

The guitar is supplied in its original Taylor hardshell case. Please refer to the photos for a full view of its condition, and feel free to get in touch if you would like any further images or details.
