So I've finally gotten around to taking a few photos of my new 714ce-SD. When I was looking at this guitar, there didn't seem to be a lot of pictures out there, so I thought I'd post mine. Although I've had it for a little over 2 weeks, it was actually my Christmas present, so I suppose posting the photos now is appropriate.
I'm no pro photographer, and my little Canon point and shoot leaves a lot to be desired, but hopefully these will do. The photo of the back is the only one that was taken indoors because I could never get a good photo of the back outdoors that wasn't entirely reflections.
One thing to note, is that I removed the original tortoise pickguard, and replaced it with a clear pickguard that I ordered from Taylor. I just installed it the other day. I think it looks much better now. If you look closely, the clear pickguard is somewhat visible in the third photo. Otherwise, it's essentially invisible in the other photos.
I think most folks already know this, but just in case... the 'SD' is a Guitar Center "exclusive" with a Sitka Spruce top (instead of the standard cedar) and diamond fretboard inlays. It was a great middle ground between the 414ce Fall LTD and the 814ce. Not quite as modest as the 414 but not as decked out as the 814. The biggest difference is that it lacks the CV bracing, which for some might be a deal breaker. Non the less, I'm absolutely loving it!!
