Hi Chris,

400 series has a richer/warmer tone with the Rosewood back and sides. It 
also has a higher level of appointments (aka finishing touches!).

300 series is Sapele back and sides which has a brighter tone.

Have a think and once we get confirmation on availability from Taylor we 
will take it from there.

We can sort you out with an amp on the day.

Kind Regards,
Phil
