Well I picked this up about 10 days ago so I guess this is a bit late.  Anyway, went to a Taylor demo at a local shop since I was GASing pretty bad for a v-class guitar.  At least I wanted to see/feel/hear them myself.  And I really wanted to compare the 914ce with the K14ce.  Was quite impressed with both of them and through great effort talked myself into going home with a new K14ce builder's edition.  As I mentioned in another thread this is an early present to myself for a yet to be completed accomplishment so other that a quick play at the shop it is living in it's case.  No easy task but it was part of the compromise I made with myself.  It is a beautiful guitar to see/feel/hear.

Gorgeous, I bet it's difficult to not spend time playing it. Congrats!

Something that just seems weird to me.....the placement of that strap button on the back of the guitar.

Congrats!! Nice to see a serial number sister of mine.
Seems like you got better top with tight grain.
Did you manage not to play? 
I know it’s super tough!!

[Bohacker]

I rarely use a strap with my acoustics, I'll have to give it a try when I allow myself to play.

I pulled it out and took the pics when I was crunched for time.  My way to help with putting it right back in the case, lol. 

Absence makes the heart grow stronger.  That's what I keep telling myself and I'm sticking to it.  I'll find out this Thursday when my final date is to completed my task.  Will knowing make it easier or harder?  I suspect harder.

Enjoy in good health!!

Awesome choice.  I sure do want to try one out soon.

Wow, talk about delayed gratification! What will power you must have. That is one gorgeous guitar, congrats.

Great looking guitar!

Thanks everyone.  It is no doubt the best guitar I own.

Sweet guitar!  Love all the ergonomic touches on the Builder's Edition, but it never hurts to be pretty too!  Enjoy!

Congrats Bohacker!  You have much more self control than many of us would have should we be in your position! haha Can't wait to have your full review of the guitar!  Keep us posted!

Looks like 05Apr is my date, 5 weeks to go. 

Now I had to play it at the shop before I bought it but it was very busy/noisy and I was pressed for time but it was clear that it is by far the nicest acoustic I own.  In fact the only other acoustic I ever played that might be a peer or higher was a Martin, unknown model, I played back in 1978 at a friend's friend's house.  That was a long long time ago but I can still remember thinking "Is this me playing?  I sound awesome", lol.
