Wow, that is a heck of a way to start what we all hope will be a never ending love of guitars for you.

I know there are many people around here that wish our first guitars would have played as nice as a Taylor.  I had some piece of junk with action so high you could drive a truck under it.

Enjoy, its a beauty!

That made me literally LOL. My first was like that too - the truck probably would have belonged to UPS.

there's always slide, wall-art or one's first attempt at a neck reset/bolt-on neck conversion -
i'd like to think that no matter how bad something is, there is something good in it somewhere :)

Awesome!  I love the burst.  You'll find that there are many maple lovers here, and I'm proud to say I'm one of them.

steve-wv,

I thought the burst finish on my guitar was near the top.  That was before I saw your 614.  You have what I think is the best finish I have seen to date.

Yeah, I think we can all recall that first guitar.  At least mine was my grandfather's ...that alone made it a nice one.  But other than that... :)

Man oh man ...if that's your first guitar, I'm staying tuned in; you're gonna kill us with your next ones!!  You sure know how to make an entrance ;)
Gorgeous guitar, friend ...enjoy that beauty in health and happiness!
