You can't go wrong with either because both are good guitars, but they are different. The 314 was brighter and thinner sounding than the 414. However, if I were you, I would buy the 414 because I simply think it sounds better. Since I love rosewood sound, I prefer the 414, which is ovangcal, but if you are a mahogany guy, you should go for the 314. Anyway, both had excellent necks and overall playability. Please keep this in mind, no wood is BETTER than any other (some cost more), but different woods will be preferred by different people. I recommend you to go and try them. Hope you pick the right one for you.
