I have a Bill Nichols truss rod cover as well. This one is the first “Excalibur”. I designed it with Bill back in ‘03 which became a regular offering of his. It contains abalone, MOP, koa and brass. I purposely left the black bottom screw and added a gold top screw to serve as the sword knob. So I agree, it’s nice to tastefully dress up any guitar a bit...no matter the cost of the guitar.

made a difference for me
I have a 114e; I tried at least 10 of the same model before selecting mine (the difference was not trivial).
then I replaced the saddle with Colosi's bone saddle, adjusted the action. Great improvement. It sounds as good as my 714 cedar top (different of course), but truly a very nice guitar.

Excellent Advise. Your 114ce is an excellent entry level Taylor. Any “improvements” will not make the guitar any better or increase its value. Save your money and eventually buy a higher grade guitar.
