2016 Taylor 714ce Grand Auditorium Cutaway Western Sunburst Near-Mint w/ Case, Tags

$2,199.99

+ shipping

Up for sale, a 2016 Taylor 714ce in near-mint, 100% original condition and in perfect working order, complete with the original hardshell case and all factory paperwork. This Taylor Grand Auditorium model features a Western Sunburst gloss finish and Taylor’s Expression System electronics.

Tonewoods include an X-braced spruce top, Indian rosewood back and sides (bookmatched), mahogany neck, and ebony fingerboard, with a lower bout width of 15 7/8“ and a body depth of 4 3/8“. Tonally, this Taylor is sparkling and dynamic, with exceptional projection and a warm, harmonically-dense midrange. A single strum delivers clarity and sustain, and this pre-V Class braced model offers the shimmering trebles and sweet percussive cut historically associated with the Taylor brand. The low end is taut and snappy with a sweet rumble when digging in.

The Expression System features Taylor’s patented behind-the-saddle pickup, with three uniquely positioned and individually calibrated pickup sensors to most accurately capture the natural sound of the instrument, together with Taylor’s custom-designed “professional audio”-grade preamp for maximum on-stage flexibility. This 714ce weighs 4lbs 13oz, professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 12-53 bronze strings and easy-playing action.
