Default There's are several good reasons for that price...

Gentlemen,

After looking at those photos, I can see why the owner is asking that amount for the 914ce LTD.

Here are four good reasons:

1) Cocobolo back and sides

2) Maple bindings (they are generally only used on the 800 series, whereas the 900s receive ivoroid)

3) Engelmann Spruce top

4) Cindy Inlay

Throw in the fact that it is a rare left-handed LTD, and you have the recipe for what I think is a fair asking price. If only it were right-handed, I would be tempted...

Thanks to the OP for bringing my attention to this gorgeous rarity!
