"A match made in Guitar Heaven!"
This review has been selected by our experts as particularly helpful.
I imagine this guitar will be the mainstay in my acoustic line up for many many yearst to come and if I ever purchase another acoustic it will most definately be a taylor.
Sound
The sound from the GA4 is identical to a 414ce all it lacks is electronics and the venetian cutaway. It is made from the same sitka top and Ovangkol sides and back. So with that said I picked up my GA4 because I am not big on built in electronics or cutaways just a pure acoustic and I am blown away by the sound of this guitar. My playing style is about half strumming and half picking and the clarity of every string and every note is apparent in the GA4. For me this guitar and a microphone create beautiful music and a tone and sound quality unmatched. I have picked up and played all Taylors from the Big Baby all the way up to a 900 series and I love the sound from the 400 series, the 410ce, the 412ce, the 414ce, the GA4 and the DN4 all have the most incredible tone. So if you are not in need of electronics and a cutaway than this guitar is for you.
Features
The GA4 comes with a beautiful hard shell Taylor case with plush padding and the guitar fits like a glove. Again the Sitka Spruce top and Ovangkol sides are mesmerizing the wood is beautiful and the sound is even better.
Ease of Use
The GA4 arrived at my home in Columbia SC in the factory box and the factory setup was astonishing as I expected… read more nothing less from Taylor, beautiful sound and incredibly low and easy to play action.
Quality
I am a stickler for manufacturer flaws and after thouroughly inspecting the guitar I can say there was no flaw in the design or the wood. It truly is a beautiful guitar. Also the binding on this guitar is cream not white like on the 414ce which I feel adds a little sense of style and elegance to the design. Also the small pearl inlays are gorgeous as well.
Value
If you do not have a need for the pricey expression system from Taylor and are not a stickler for needing a cutaway you will save close to 800 dollars by getting a GA4 over a 414ce. So I say it is an awesome value.

Have not had to deal with taylor yet but I can imagine it would not be a problem.
