Hi Susie.. Sure

Western Cedar top, Tasmaniian Blackwood back/sides and Rock Maple back mini-wedge and binding.  And there is a nice little ebony veneer on the headstock. :)

Thanks. That helps. The woods look so nice together. Very sharp!

Very, very nice nylon! I've been through a few Taylor nylons before finding one that really spoke to me, my figured sapele '12 Fall LTD GA.

Ohhhhmannnn, I like that!

Beautiful b/s, especially the miniwedge (which I typically don't care for the aesthetics of wedges, but yours works beautifully here).  Not to mention the headstock overlay, and the binding.  And you can't argue with the sonic beauty of a cedar top.  That's a lovely guit ...gotta love the tone, to be sure!  Congrats!!

Thanks, Edward, all... Yeah, I felt pretty luck when I picked this up. My 714 Nylon performed great at my gigs.  But there was always something missing.  I never knew Tasmanian Blackwood would provide more warmth than  EIR but it definitely does.  And the projection is much better as well.

Congrats!

What a beautiful guitar! My first guitar was a nylon string classical guitar, loved the sound, but didn't like the large nut width. I was a kid back then so fretting was hard with my small hands. What's the nut width btw on that Taylor Ltd?

That is a very good looking.  Any idea how many of these were made in nylon?  Seems to me Taylor does not include the nylon in very many limiteds. 

Enjoy!

Very nice ! good choice i've always liked the x14 body nylons , But never have had one yet.
 That Ltd is sweet with its back wedge  and cedar top.
 looks very clean . enjoy .
