Guess I should take a few pics of the replacement case I got for my NOS 414ce. Previously I posted that the dealer gave me an 814ce case since I was originally given a dred case by mistake. After close inspection, I noticed the case's neck area is MUCH narrower than all my other Taylor cases, and the inside padding is no more than 3/4" all the way around the guitar.
I even called Taylor to make sure this was an authentic Taylor case (yes, has the brass logo), but I was simply told they don't make their own cases. The neck is REALLY, REALLY narrow. So I'm not sure whether I'd rather have a case with a soft exterior or this case which seems to have a harder (brown) exterior.
