Taylor W14C (1999) – Western Red Cedar / Figured Claro Walnut – Original Hard Shell Case

Up for sale is a beautiful and increasingly hard-to-find 1999 Taylor W14C, serial number 990113144. This guitar features a Western Red Cedar top paired with stunning solid Claro Walnut back and sides, producing a warm, responsive voice with excellent balance, clarity, and note separation.

The walnut on this instrument displays exceptional figuring and visual depth, making it one of the more striking examples of the W-series guitars from this era. The combination of cedar and walnut creates a mature, articulate sound that fingerstyle players particularly appreciate, while still offering plenty of projection for strumming and flatpicking.

This guitar was built during Taylor's pre-NT neck era and represents an important period in the company's history when many instruments were crafted with traditional neck construction and highly selected tonewoods.
