My Wife just bought me a new 214sb. I'm a lucky man to have a Wife like mine. I'm very excited and my Mini wont be alone for long.
I'll post pics when she gets here.

Congratulations.  I too have a wife who bought me a Taylor(a custom GC for my impending Medicare-eligibility birthday).  When they're good, they're really good.

 Why is it that I like the 214s Burst over the 714 Vintage burst . or even the 800s...? It's differant.
kinda looks like a Gibson's ??? Not sure.
 Thank the wife , looks like a winner. Enjoy that one  :)

I love my mini I will probably never part with it. But this thing has shed a new light on my on going love affair with Taylor guitars.
I didn't think a laminate rosewood could smell so good.
Sorry about the pics they don't do the guitar justice.

Thanks again

That's a classic-looking beauty you have there  - the non-cutaway shape, sunburst finish and pickguard all come togther to create some nice mojo. Congrats and enjoy!

I want to thank everyone for your wonderful comments and support.
I do have a question you guys could probably help me with. The 214 comes with a gig bag as we all know. It's a very nice gig bag however I would like to get a humidity control device. Is the gig bag adequate for humidity control? Or should I just go get a hard case?
I live in South Florida.

Thanks again

Jim

A hard case will always be better for humidity control.

That being said, living in south FL make sur your guitar doesn't get too much humidity. ;)

Very nice burst...enjoy. Your wife is sure a keeper... :)

hard cases are better at confining humidity but the gigbag does a pretty good job too.
