Question 414ce

I've been browsing this forum for a little while and how can I not join a great place like this?

Here's my first question: The other day I tried my friend's 2003 414ce which I considered buying. It's plugged to a PA. I noticed that ocassionally notes on the high E string were muted for 1/2 to 1 second or so then it's back to normal. Does it seem to be a defective pickup or what are your thoughts?

Welcome to TGF....... I think most would agree the Fishman system is a proven design and very reliable and has been adopted widely.
Go for the 414CE.....you will be very happy with it.

Thanks for your replies.

Aparantly the 414ce was checked ok by a guitar tech, the problem must be lying somewhere else. I'll re-examine just to make sure it's fine & I might just be another new Taylor owner.

I'd check something other than the guitar.
