Two used guitars that are thoughtfully designed and crafted with care and attention to detail.

The phenomenal new Taylor 814ce is now on our floor! Taylor reinvented the 814ce with too many 'design forward' ideas that you'll have to check their page out to read about them all. For now, here's a brief description:

Taylor’s popular 814ce offers players the ultimate all-purpose guitar. Its balance, warmth and articulation are great for fingerstyle, it has enough punch as a strummer to front a band, and the top-end power will fuel lead runs without getting shrill. It’s a great choice for a gigging player looking for one guitar that can cover it all. The revoicing of the 800 Series has brought greater warmth, a more mature midrange, and a looser, more luxurious low end to the 814ce, thanks in part to the customized bracing and a new, custom-calibrated Elixir HD Light string-gauge set. Premium appointments include maple binding and back strip, rosewood top edge trim, a rosewood pickguard, Taylor’s new Element fretboard inlay in mother-of-pearl, a marbled fretboard, and new Expression System 2 acoustic electronics. The guitar features a Venetian cutaway and includes a Taylor deluxe hardshell case.

New Taylor Limited Edition 410SLTD just in this week.

From Taylor's site:

"Our robust-voiced ovangkol/spruce cutaway Dreadnought enjoys an upgrade to a full-gloss body and our new Expression System^® 2 acoustic electronics on this Spring LTD. Pickers and strummers will love the way the ES2 captures the Dreadnought’s low-end power, snappy midrange, and crisp treble notes to cut through in an amplified setting. Other distinctive details include abalone dot fretboard inlays and bridge pins, along with a Spring Limited label inside the guitar."

A recent trade-in:

A 2009 Epiphone Les Paul Custom in 'Silverburst' finish. A really nice example of a 'Gibson' that doesn't break the bank.
