Sound Pure's Take
Condition: Used, Excellent
Taylor's most popular model? We think so. And for good reason! The crisp, bright voice coupled with both effortless playability and an elegant look make the 614CE a modern day classic. This particular instrument is notably clean and received a fresh fret dress and setup from the luthier.
SP Luthier Notes: Fretwork, Neck Reset, Crack Repair
From Taylor Guitars
Our maple/spruce Grand Auditorium has always been a versatile performer, and this edition boasts an array of tone-enhancing refinements that transform maple’s tone profile into a richer, warmer and more complex voice. As a result, players can expect an even more dynamic and expressive musical tool. Other touches include the use of protein glues to optimize the tonal transfer between key wood components and an ultra-thin, 3.5-mil gloss finish to minimize dampening. A new, hand-rubbed “Brown Sugar” stain on the back and sides gives maple’s striking figure a beautiful violin-hued appearance without adding extra thickness to the finish. Featured appointments include ivoroid Wings fretboard inlays, an inlaid ebony backstrap, ebony binding with ivoroid purfling, an ebony/ivoroid rosette, and a striped ebony pickguard, along with Taylor’s Expression System® 2 acoustic electronics. The guitar comes with a deluxe hardshell case.
