Arrow SOLD: 2015 Taylor 914ce-Beautiful w/Arm Bevel

2015 Taylor 914ce-Beautiful top of the line Taylor with Bevel


[SIZE="3"]Once again, another "Tax-time" sale of one of my prized guitars. This one another that I found that had uniquely great tone, and fantastic condition. I think 2015 was a good year for 914ce's because this is the second one I've owned built in 2015 that is really special. Playability is spot on, and it just sounds great.

Condition: This guitar is as close to "MINT" as you'll find in a guitar that has been played at all. It has been babied, and is just in gorgeous condition with nothing to report as an issue.

Not much else needs to be said about these instruments. They are just among the very best guitars that Taylor builds with their most select woods.

A few details:

• Nut Width 1 3/4
• Shape: Grand Auditorium
• Back/Side Wood: Indian Rosewood
• Scale length: 25-1/2"
• Top Wood: Sitka Spruce
• Electronics: Expression System 2®
• Body Width: 16"
• Cutaway: Venetian
• Body Depth: 4 5/8"
• Nut & Saddle: Bone
• Neck Width: 1-3/4"
• Neck/Heel: Tropical Mahogany
• Bracing: Advanced Performance bracing
• Headstock Overlay: Ebony
• Binding: Indian Rosewood
• Bridge Pins: Ebony with Abalone Dots
• Tuners: Gotoh
• Truss Rod Cover: Ebony
• Back/Side Finish: Gloss
• Top Finish: Gloss
• Neck Finish: Satin
• Case: Taylor Deluxe Hardshell Brown
• Rosette Size: Single Ring 900 Series Bound

SOLD

I will consider trades with a chunk of cash and reasonable cash offers. No straight trades./SIZE]

Default Another gem

As the current owner of Mike's other 2015 914ce, trust your eyes (they sound as good as they look), but more importantly, trust this seller.

We had several email exchanges before I sealed the deal. Mike is great to work with and my guitar is OUTSTANDING. If he says this one sounds as good as mine, you will not be disappointed.

Thank you Vince for the kind words. I am confident whoever gets this guitar will be very pleased. Gonna need to send a check to my not so favorite uncle soon, so if you have an interest, speak up! Always open to cash offers!

This is a slam dunk.

If I had not imposed a limit of 12 Taylors this baby would be on its way to NC.

You cannot go wrong with this guitar or with the seller.

Mike is as square of a guy that you will find. Seriously.

Rob is right! Awesome axe from a true AGF gentleman! Although I would not call him "square"...

For us old guys that has negative connotations. Let's call him a stand up guy!

Anyway, best on this and all the dreaded tax time sales!

All Mike's guitars are at LEAST as fine as advertised...

Peace, out

Paul

Default Taylor 914ce

Taylor got it right with the 2015 redesign of the 914ce. The arm bevel really makes for a comfortable playing experience and it sounds as good as it looks.
There is not another AGF seller who has more buyers delighted with their purchases than Mike has. Someone will enjoy owning this guitar...best of luck with your sale!

Thanks Rob, Paul and Doug! I appreciate the kind words, and yes this guitar is a GREAT deal where I had it. Tax expenses and others cause me to reduce this one for a fast sale.

Come and get it folks! This guitar is one whale of a good deal. Someone is going to LOVE this guitar!!

Wow! I had to say something here.

I've often drooled at the sight of Kostal, Greenfield, Bourgeois Guitars and other such makers in the last few years, but when You get your eyes on a Taylor 914 with an arm bevel and those Goto Tuners on that headstock with the Taylor font, they just look stunning. I wish I could get the cash for it, but have a couple of 16 year olds in the house and well priorities.

GLWS from and easy guy to work with and honest as they come

Mr. Bennits tax bill must be staring him in the face and keeping him up at night -

This is a no brainer, giveaway price for a high end Taylor.

Thanks TW...It isn't JUST taxes that keep me awake at night lol. But you are correct...I'm shocked that this one hasn't headed to it's new home yet. What a great guitar for a great price. A number of people have asked about it, just waiting for that "right buyer".

Open to offers!

Are you sure this is Contemporary Voice bracing? I think it changed in 2014 to Advanced Performance bracing.

If they changed it in 2014, than you certainly are right. I'll change the ad accordingly.

All I really know for sure is that these 2015's are a breed all to themselves. I like them better than about any others I've played, including the V class bracing.
