The back and sides should be ovangkol, just like the current 400 series. If it's a LTD, then perhaps it could be different. Here's a thread which discussed when Ovangkol was first used on the 400 series:
http://www.acousticguitarforum.com/f...ad.php?t=53070 Also, the NT neck became a standard feature on all Taylors (at least the 300 series on up) in 2001. Not sure if that means every 2001 has it or not (but I'm assuming yes): (http://www.taylorguitars.com/guitars...atures/nt-neck). The NT neck is great. If you have the serial number, you should contact Taylor for specifics.

One of my favorite guitars is a 2001 414ce and it is an ovangkol body with a spruce top. The NT neck is nice. Adjustments (resets) can be done in a matter of minutes for around $50 versus $400+ and months of waiting for a dovetail neck, ie: Martin.

412ce
Thanks for the responses. I decided to pull the trigger and I am very excited to get it and try it out. The figuring in the Ovangkol on the back is ridiculous! Anyone else who wants to chime in... feel free!!!
Thanks again, Mike
