Ah I'm so torn!! Taylor 410ce vs DN4!!

[dylanj04]

I like them both but I also really like the lighter color of ovengkol on the 410ce, the DN4 is a lot darker.

I don't know if resale is an issue. If so, the DN's don't have good resale. The CE do much better. MOST people that buy Taylors play them live and/or plugged in. Hence your market for sale is larger with the CE.  Although they are wonderful sounding unplugged too .

Yes resale is actually something I should definitely consider. I go through guitars like I do underwear haha. I'm always buying/selling/trading, because I'm never found "the one" and I think I fnally have with the 410ce, and I think thats what I'm going to go for!

Interesting...don't know that I have ever sold or traded my underwear.

Maybe I have been missing out on something.

hi dylan,
it's great that you've found something special in the 410ce

i was just curious about which guitars you've played & owned in the past,
what you liked about them when you had them & what you found lacking
which made them 'leave the stable', along with your playing style

it sounded like the DN4 may  have been well-suited to your needs, as the cutaway & electronics
are not a necessity & looking at recent trends, there are fewer DN4 models that are sold, but
when they are i noticed that the amount of return is greater on those models than the 410ce -
if the 410ce you're looking at is a 2011 model, with large MOP dot fretmarkers, rather than the
progressive ovals, then the price difference between the 2 models should be a good bit less

good to see you here
WELCOME !looking forward to hearing more from you

*Sigh* and then you have people like Iplay2, anyways.

I've owned a Larrivee, Seagull, Epiphone... I'm not really sure what they lacked, they just didnt sing to me and I didnt get that feeling playing them like I got playing the 410ce. And I noticed that I kept going back to the 410 when comparing it to the DN4. My playing style is mostly strumming and picking, I dont play much fingerpicked.

[dylanj04]

Also they want $XXXX for the DN4, and $XXX for the 410ce. I did notice it has larger dot inlays tan the DN4

I say go with the DN4 because by the time you want to start using a amp. and or start to do live shows then you will probably want another guitar anyway.  Remember all you will ever want is just one more.  hehe

IMHO there's part of your answer!

If you listen with your ears, and the guitar "speaks to you", and you keep going back to it, then ...

After all the reading and questions answered and pricing etc. I look for the guitar to "speak to me".  Even if its one that I would not have otherwise considered.

If it "speaks to you" you will be more likely to play it, and be inspired by it.

i had a bit of a pickle myself in choosing. i had me choosing between an 814ce and a GA8e. The good thing about the acoustic - electric series (X14's/X10's) is that you can order one already with the cutaway. the acoustic series DN/GA/GS won't have that out of the box/store. The ES system is readily available for both. So, that's your main difference (aesthetics too!). I'd say go with the 410ce! A more versatile and has a higher resale value.
