For sale is a 2004 Taylor 314ce Grand Auditorium acoustic-electric guitar in Natural finish, complete with a fitted hardshell case.

This is a beautiful, well-played example of Taylor’s popular American-made 300 Series, featuring a solid spruce top, solid mahogany-family back and sides, and a comfortable Venetian cutaway.

CONDITION

Good overall condition, with cosmetic wear consistent with its age and use.

I want to be completely transparent about the condition:

• A few small chips/nicks along the black binding and adjacent finish on the back edge of the guitar. Both areas are photographed in detail.
• Minor dings and cosmetic marks on the headstock.
• A few very small, shallow impressions and surface marks on the back of the neck.
• Early, light fret wear from normal playing.
• Naturally aged, warm coloration of the nut and saddle.
• Additional light surface scratches and handling marks consistent with age.

These cosmetic imperfections do not affect the guitar’s playability in my experience.

The back and sides retain attractive wood grain, and the natural spruce top has developed a warm, aged appearance.

I’ve included detailed photographs showing both the overall guitar and the specific areas of wear. Please examine them carefully.
