Purchased new in 2011, played nearly everyday. Great sounding guitar-includes HS case. Some normal scratches but still looks extremely good. Kept in it's case with humidifier.
Maker description: Taylor's 414ce embodies a superb blend of traditional tonewoods and contemporary electronic devices. With it, you get a gorgeous solid Sitka spruce top with ovangkol as its back and sides - making sure excellent tone when unplugged. Yet, Taylor also added their popular Taylor Expression electronics system, makings the Taylor 414ce ripe for phase use, also. And, whether you prefer strum-style playing or fingerpicking you'll be equally pleased, as it includes the treble-emphasized Grand Auditorium body format, which offers you outstanding note meaning, with the Taylor 414ce.
