The 414ce-R is essentially the flagship 814ce but without the fancy inlays. Same spruce top, same rosewood body, same neck, etc. The 2022 models have the same V-class bracing and Expression 2 electronics as their current models.
I'm primarily an electric player, so this guitar is in virtually new condition. Take a good look at the pictures. The body and neck are flawless. It's an amazing guitar. I just didn't play it much.
It sounds as good as it looks. I put on new strings so it's good to go. If you're looking for the high end Taylor sound in a more affordable model, this is it. You'll know it as soon as you play it. (Or if you're getting it as a gift, I'll play it for you.)
Rosewood 414s this new and in this condition generally go for $2,000 or more so the $1,800 price is firm. Please don't bother with counter offers. If you've been looking at these guitars, you know that this one is priced below market value. Taylor case is included.
