Taylor 714-CE Grand Auditorium | 2003
INFO
Indian Rosewood star!! A versatile instrument super warm auditorium. The guitar has a beautiful and warm cedar top and has been setup with incredible well with a nice low action. The guitar had a slight crack on the bottom right side of the body, which was professionally repaired by our luthier. You cannot tell from the finish itself, although the darker tone of the filled and braced crack indicates the professional repair. The guitar is in great condition overall with barely with frets having lots of more life to give.
A versatile instrument suitable for a range of musical applications, the Grand Auditorium 714ce boasts a rich and dynamic voice. The cedar top responds with the sonic power, and headroom, with an extra splash of warmth across the tonal spectrum. Hacing solid Indian rosewood back and sides, this guitar resonates with spectacular power, clarity and sustain. One of the most inspiring attributes of the bracing architecture is the noticeably enhanced in-tuneness of the notes, with more harmonic agreement among chords and extra girth in upper-register notes. The result is a balanced, textured sound that’s rich in tonal nuance with enough dynamic range to support hard hitters and soft pickers alike. Aesthetically, the 714ce sports an aesthetic that balances rootsy and refined elements, featuring wood-rich details like koa binding, a herringbone-style Douglas Hawaiian Koa rosette, and bias-cut Douglas fir top trim, along with abalone Reflections fretboard and peghead inlays and a “weathered brown” pickguard. The guitar ships with Taylor Expression System electronics in a deluxe hardshell case.
