2015 Taylor 214ce Deluxe Grand Auditorium Guitar

Overview: Over the years I've become a Taylor fan -- the more guitars I work on the more I appreciate a factory that can put out so many of them and have them remain stable and easy to work-on in-use. This 214ce is no exception and it has a gutsy, forward sound (rather like an OM) and a surprisngly-retro neck feel. The sunburst doesn't hurt, either!


Repairs included: I just gave it a quick cleaning and setup. It's playing spot-on.

Condition notes: This guy is quite clean with minimal handling/usewear throughout. Unfortunately, there is a little ghosting/milking to the finish clearcoat on the bass side nearer the lower bout's widest part. The open-pore/semi-gloss finish on the back of the neck also has some texture to it, too, which I find nice (and it cuts down on that "summer stick" feeling) but I mention this in case someone is expecting a glassy surface back there.


It comes with: It's got a brown Taylor gigbag.
