Buying a used 414ce

[cboylb]

Found a 2003 414ce for sale on craigslist. The guy says it's a 414ce Limited edition with Rosewood, and the receipt he produced also says 414ce-LTD Rosewood (the "LTD Rosewood" part is handwritten), but the sticker inside the guitar only says 414ce... Any idea how to verify it's actually a Rosewood LTD?

Get the serial number from the seller (if it's not already visible on the photo of the sticker) and call Taylor Customer service at 800-943-6782.  They'll be able to tell you everything you want to know about the guitar, including whether it's a Limited Edition made with Rosewood.

I have a 414 from 2003 that is rosewood and the label says 414-L2. Of course calling Taylor directly answers all questions
