"...last guitar I ever need to buy"

That's a pretty gutsy statement. We'll see how that works out for you :)

Bad news.   With all the horrific weather happening, it is giving us winter blizzard conditions.  I have noticed this morning that Interstate 80 is closed,  this is the third day.  Winter blizzard conditions and accidents have shut it down since Sunday morning.  The result is that I may not get my new last guitar that I will ever need till……. ???           And it is snowing right now :'(

Snow?!  It was 90 deg F and clear blue skies here in Central Texas yesterday...!  You should have shipped it here to me!  ;)

I was thinking that the only current Taylor series with Rosewood binding, gold tuners, gloss finish, and sans a pickguard was the "K" series (Koas)...  But I'm not sure if they still offer an option for a Sitka top, I don't think the bracing you specified applies, and I'm pretty sure they don't have an Abalone rosette...  But could it be a pre-ES2 Koa...?  ???

seeing that he's bought the guitar, i'm pretty sure
he knows what kind of bracing & rosette it has ::)

i don't remember mgap saying that it's a current model ...
or did he :-\

Yeah, I realize that.  I was just thinking out loud more than offering a definitive guess.

... i don't remember mgap saying that it's a current model ...

I don't believe he ever said one way or the other...  At least not yet...

Post by: michaelw on April 29, 2014, 01:06:36 PM
i don't think the body shape has mentioned either -
GA/X14 ???

i may be on the right track, but hopefully it won't be long until you  get it ;)

rear strut assemblies, mounts  & left inner tie rod arrived (for the guitar hauler) -
waiting on an x-pipe, 02 sensor bung & for the tire shop to let me know the TQs made it

need to install the rear springs, adjustable pinion snubber & dust the quads -
should probably order the aluminum driveshaft, then install the loop & get it on the track :)

Post by: mgap on April 29, 2014, 01:11:14 PM
Well this may be the last of the hints.  It is in town and should be delivered today.  It is a GA X14,  it is not a 2014 model but rather a 2009.  I have had one of these before only it was a X16/GS style.  It has Rosewood b/s.

Please let us know when you decide to sell the "last guitar you'll ever need to buy." I had a few of those.

Post by: mgap on April 29, 2014, 06:29:21 PM
I'll never sell my 514ce WW CV.  Maybe something else(I doubt it) but not the WW CV.  Now I will have a real nice rosewood guitar and I think I am probably never going to need another guitar again, and really I don't want any more.  Hey wait a minute, I may have said that before.

2009 spring limited 714 Madagascar rosewood?

And the winner is Lizzy! ;D ;D  Was it the tip on the bracing?  When you said 714 I almost gave in.  But I decided to make you be more specific to gain the bragging rights.  Good going ;)

Post by: Lizzy on April 29, 2014, 11:36:26 PM
Yeah! I was beginning to wonder because when I said 700 series earlier you gave me no response😢 
It's a beautiful guitar and I bet it sounds fabulous. Congrats!  I'll be looking for my cupie doll prize in the mail.

My friend had to sell his Spring LTD 710ce madagascar because his shoulder can't handle dreads any more.  It was probably the best sounding Taylor I had ever heard at that point.  I'm sure that 814 maddy is phenomenal!  Have fun with it!
