Welcome to the forum.
First thing I would do, is run over to guitar center and play a bunch of models. Even if you are just learning, hopefully you can find some alone time in the acoustic room in case you are embarrassed to play. You will also be able to hear the nuances of some of the different guitars. And make sure you are buying a guitar that is comfortable for you to play. Before pulling the trigger it is usually worthwhile to call a couple of our sponsors. They are knowledgeable and generally will get you a great price.

Welcome to AGF!
With that price range, there are a lot of great options. As others have mentioned, you should check out the Taylor 300s in addition to the 200s. All solid wood, slightly wider neck. The 300 series is also where you can get a Grand Concert, e.g 312. Slightly smaller than the Grand Auditoriums such as the 214 and slightly shorter neck, some find they are more comfortable and easier to play. The 400 series might be in your reach as well. Also as others have noted, give a couple of the forum sponsors a call. Shoreline was mentioned. I can also whole-heartily recommend Ted at LA Guitars. They will be able to provide great info and great prices. Good luck! |

There are a lot of choices in your price range. Unless you are in a big hurry, I would spend some time looking and playing as many as you can.

For what it's worth, I love my Taylor 214 DLX! I added a Bob Colosi bone nut, saddle and bridge pins. Her tone and voice are exceptional and she resonates wonderfully. But I agree with the others that say to try out as many as you can and find the one that says take me home!!

I know many say buy used. Yes you can prob get a nice 414ce for the $1500 price range (They go for $2300 new) or even a 314ce for around $1000. You can check out Guitar Center online and see all their used inventory and get feel for prices. But there are risks to buying used. Unless it is from big box store like GC that allows returns.
But there is also something wonderful about buying brand new. You get to choose the exact guitar and have return period .. as well as warranty. You cannot go wrong with a 214ce Deluxe. Plus see if any of the Sponsors sell them. You will get great deal and excellent service! |
