Got my first Taylor today, the 416ce Fall Ltd edition.. I've had a Hummingbird, Martin, the J-45, Takamine.. I can honestly say, this is the best I've had so far.
I've tried just about everything the past 30 years from the old Barcus Berry piezos; to Martin and Fishman under saddle units; LR Baggs Ribbon Transducer, M1, and iBeam; and lastly--Sunrise. The latest ES w/ 9-volt batteries have no problems.
You have to match a pickup to the right pre-amp. Both my Sunrise and Taylor ES pups sound great through BOSS pre's, but dismal through an Yamaha AG Stomp. Conversely, a Fishman Duet sound great through a Yamaha and lousy through a Boss. The ES is tops.
I just got one myself a 414EC, this is my second guitar, before I had a 110E. THOSES GUITARS ARE ABSOLUTLY FANTASTIC ! Please come and watch my video on youtube Streets of London on a Taylor 414CE by Lionel *****
I agree with some of the negative comments about the ES. I own it on a 914 CE, which I plug into a Bose L1 model II system. The neck pick up significantly "electrifies" the sound, and I have never been able to understand how people can refer to this system as a system that reproduces the natural sound of a guitar. I also own a Martin J41 special and a custom Taylor with adirondack/brazilian back and sides. After much research and testing, I equipped both guitars with much better LR Baggs systems
i love my 616 ce!

@holysnikees My 214ce rocks my world too. I've got this expensive but it just doesn't compare to the sound of my Taylor. Taylor forever!
