Taylor 814ce-L1 Brazilian Rosewood - 2003 [Used]

This is an absolutely beautiful guitar and is well worth looking at for anybody looking for a special instrument with a unique wood profile.
Brazilian Rosewood is getting harder and harder to get hold of these days so getting it at this kind of price is a rare opportunity, and the woods on this example are stunning too. -particularly the sides! 
Sound-wise it's well balanced and clean sounding, with a rich and thick low end but still plenty the expected Taylor brightness and vibrancy.

The Taylor expression system unfortunately no longer works, so the previous owner had an LR Baggs Anthem fitted. The controls of this have got some glue runout by the edges, so it's not perfect, but the pickup still works and it sounds excellent.
It's a guitar that has been loved and used, and there is some moderate fret wear but nothing to be hugely concerned about - just some light knocks and marks here and there.

The serial number dates it to 2003 - 20031015134
It sadly doesn't have any of the original paperwork but is in the original hard case
