I am offering a Taylor 714ce-N from 2018, a made in El Cajon, California (USA), all solid timber crossover classical guitar model featuring a versatile Grand Auditorium design including a venetian cutaway, highly resonant Lutz spruce top, wildly grained sides and back made of Indian rosewood, one-piece neck made of tropical mahogany with 47.6mm TUSQ nut, premium ebony fingerboard with Taylor Abalone Reflection inlays, elaborate slotted headstock with ebony veneer and high-quality Taylor ES-2 nylon pickup system in a radiant natural high-gloss finish with various decorations made of mother-of-pearl, abalone and precious woods in mint condition including a Taylor luxury hardshell case, manufacturer's documents and professional setup with Savarez 500ARJ strings.

This Taylor 714ce-N is a masterfully crafted Grand Auditorium classical guitar model from the legendary 700 series, made in El Cajon, California. Taylor's top-of-the-line 700 Series guitars combine premium tonewoods, refined features and world-class craftsmanship to deliver a seamless playing experience with unrivaled clarity and balance. The time-honored combination of rosewood and Lutz spruce produces a versatile tone that is rich in harmonic texture and ringing overtones, which, when combined with the special Taylor nylon bracing inside, provides fantastic volume and sustain. It is truly one of the most beautiful crossover nylon guitars on the market!

The Taylor 714ce-N has everything you love about a Grand Auditorium guitar: a powerful, direct response with maximum tone and an open, incredibly rich sound with more complex overtones and lively bass. The guitar is extremely versatile and gives you a warm feeling from the first strum.

A sound example of the model (only in sunburst finish) can be found above at the end of the photo gallery.

In terms of playability, a comfortable mahogany neck, a low string action and a narrower 47.6mm TUSQ nut ensure fantastic playability.

Visually, the instrument scores with natural elegance: the beautifully grained tonewoods are shown off to great effect under the thin high-gloss finish and complement each other in aesthetic perfection with the dark ebony fingerboard, the elaborate koa bindings and the elegant abalone inlays.
