W14CE-LTD 2003, this is part of the limited run of Taylor’s 6-String Grand Auditorium Cutaway instruments. This sounds beautifully “bright and twinkly” whilst still being quite smooth. The projection is incredible for an instrument of this size.

As you would expect from Taylor the quality of construction and finish is utterly faultless and the attention to detail on the inlay and binding is bind blowing.

The instrument has been exceptionally well looked after and has very few signs that it has been used. There are a few marks which we have been able to photograph but these are mostly unnoticeable unless you know they are there. And the instrument has been stored in a stable humidity environment (because we make guitars - ) so there are no structural issues of any sort.

The set-up is absolutely dialled-in and the neck has Taylor’s legendary playability and speed. Current set-up is low and fast with string heights at the 12th fret of 2mm and 2.5mm (1st and 6th strings).

The instrument comes in its origin Taylor case (with all instruction sheets, truss rod tool, key and hang-tag).
