MGR/Scott Jasper « Taylor 714CE »
Published on 12/01/03 at 15:00I travel and spent nearly a year looking at, mostly, Taylor guitars at over 20 guitar stores across the US. Finally found my dream guitar at Tobias Music in Downers Grove, IL (Chicago area). I paid $2,150 for my Taylor 714 CE.
The tone and playability of this instrument are incredible. The indian rosewood back/sides give nice bass response while cedar top adds warmth.
As part of the setup, the guitar shop shortened the height of bridge too low which improved action but increased fret buzz. This was corrected with a new bridge.
Construction, fit and finish of guitar is flawless. Try running your hand down the side of the neck/fretboard and notice how nicely finished the fret ends are. The inlays are well detailed, too.
Very happy with my investment. This guitar is well worth the money.
