Just for clarification... The 514C has a cedar top as does the original K-14C (unless custom ordered). The newer (2001) K-14CE's have the Englemann Spruce top as do some of the of the 500 series (which also have Sitka tops on certain models). While I did save up my pennies for the K-14C, the 514C was clearly my second favorite for fingerstyle. Most dealers sell 514C's almost as soon as they get them. Once you have one Taylor, its even more tempting to buy another... They all sound really different and fit so many different styles. If anyone's got an 814bce just sitting around gathering dust... yeah right!... Happy Hunting....
