SOLD - Taylor 714ce - USA 2009

This gorgeous 2009 Taylor 714ce represents the refined craftsmanship, premium materials, and player-focused design that have made Taylor Guitars one of the most respected acoustic builders in the world. Built in El Cajon, California, this Grand Auditorium model blends tradition and innovation—offering superb tone, effortless playability, and a sleek modern aesthetic.

Taylor’s 700 Series guitars are known for their rich tonal character and elegant appointments, and the 714ce in particular has long been a favourite for its versatility and sonic depth. This model features a solid Western Red Cedar top paired with solid Indian rosewood back and sides, delivering a warm, harmonically complex voice with excellent clarity and balance. The cedar top lends a smooth, responsive touch—especially suited to fingerstyle and light to moderate strumming—while the rosewood adds depth and sparkling overtones.

The neck is carved from tropical mahogany and topped with a smooth ebony fretboard, offering Taylor’s famously comfortable action and fast, intuitive playability. The frets show near-zero wear, and the guitar looks to have spent most of its life in its case. Gold hardware, a gloss finish, tasteful rosette and purfling, and subtle inlays complete the classy look.

Sonically, the 714ce is open and expressive—rich lows, focused mids, and a sweet, articulate top end. Whether you're playing fingerstyle, flatpicking, or open chords, it responds with nuance and balance. The onboard Taylor Expression System electronics make it ready for live performance or studio recording with natural, high-fidelity tone.

This one comes in its original Taylor hard shell case and includes all relevant case candy. A well-preserved example of an American-made acoustic guitar from one of the industry's most trusted brands—a fantastic deal for any serious player or collector.
