Interesting to see that the 914 only has Performance bracing as opposed to Advanced Performance bracing.

To be honest I'm a bit disappointed at the lack of offerings, but I guess Taylor has been trying to avoid having limiteds compete with their standard line for a few years now.

Mr Bob's website says advanced performance bracing.

I'd be tempted to go for the 914 if I could get it without the "c" or the "e", but no dice, according to the Taylor rep. Oh well....

rumor on the block is that they are building a limted run of cindy 914ce w/ cocobolo...this post seems to confirm that, see red purling...

Beautiful - but I'll have the same problem - "ce". I need a "cooling off" period....too much drooling lately!

Who is your Taylor rep? Certain dealers could probably sort out a special non-ce order for you.

I guess I don't want it that much. I had other ideas before this came long, and I'd much rather do a custom build at this point....

My understanding is that the Fall and Spring LTDs are not models you can change.

I'm with you but am actually grateful to Taylor for not offering that particular temptation....

You're right, jr  - every cloud does have a silver lining!
