Beautiful 2000 Taylor 814ce in near-mint condition. I am the original owner and have owned this guitar since new.

This is an exceptionally clean example of an early 814ce, with Taylor’s classic Grand Auditorium body, Venetian cutaway, solid spruce top, solid Indian rosewood back and sides, ebony fingerboard, abalone rosette, and gold hardware.

It also has the original Taylor/Fishman Prefix onboard electronics, with volume, EQ, notch filter, frequency control, phase and mic/pickup blend. Everything is original and has been very well cared for.

The guitar has spent most of its life protected in its case and shows remarkably little wear for a 26-year-old instrument. The top, back, sides, neck and headstock are all extremely clean. Please look closely at the photos — they tell the story.

This is from the earlier generation of Taylor 814ce guitars, before the later Expression System electronics and subsequent design changes. It has the classic spruce/rosewood 814 sound: balanced, articulate and full, with excellent note separation and a strong low end.
