Taylor 614ce




This is the guitar I like to play most when I'm at home relaxing.

The Taylor 614ce "Russ Lowe" model is a 2005 acoustic-electric guitar in the Grand Auditorium cutaway body style with Taylor's exclusive Expression System pickup for amplification. Like other 600 series Taylor guitars, this model has a Sitka Spruce solid top with solid back and sides of Big Leaf Maple. The woods have been bookmatched to highlight the natural flame of the maple. Strings are Elixir NanoWeb Lights.

This guitar has been "modified" as follows:

1. Pickguard Removed
2. Fossilized Walrus Ivory Saddle installed
3. Brass Bridge Pins Installed
4. Ebonoid / Gold Taylor Tuners Installed
5. Custom Truss Rod Cover Installed

The action of the guitar has been optimized for best sound & action.

Taylor makes a great guitar. The sound is bright and airy... just the way I like it. Since this is one of the new "re-voiced" Taylors, the bass response is deeper than some of the older 614ce models. It's a nice balance now for a maple / spruce guitar.
