I talked to Jim at Rodeo Guitars today and he is selling 814ce's in sunburst at an awesome price that blows everyone else out.. He also seems like a straight up guy and was a pleasure to talk with. I'll be ordering my new 814 tomorrow!!

I think you made a good choice. I'd be inclined to take my chances than have a salesman select a guitar from the several he has in stock. There is no guarantee that a salesman's preferences would match mine and no certainty he would ship the one he thought was best.

You might try your local Taylor dealer, mine have always matched prices, and then you can try the guitar before you make a choice based on what you hear by comparing them.  I will tell you one thing my dealer always gives me great service with a friendly smile in person.  Plus they have helped me multiple times with set ups,  truss rod adjustments on the spot and never charged me.  In fact the only time they charge me is if it is sent to a lutherie.

I have only bought from local dealers.

 I was happy with the service from Jim at Guitar Rodeo. He took my money! Now for the long wait till Monday...

I'm buying a 814ce Sunburst online without playing it from sweetwater music. Am I stupid for not playing them first? They show they have 3 in stock and the salesman said he would play them and pick out the best one for me.

 Can I be faithfull that there wont be much of a difference between them and whichever one I get will be totally awesome?? lol

 Such a stupid question I'm sure...

With Taylors amazing consistency you are absolutely safe in ordering your 814ce without playing it first. The guys at Sweetwater are amazing, you are in good hands with them and it's bonus that they have three in stock and can cherry pick one for you.

Oops, looks like we posted about the same time Musicianized, I see you didn't order from Sweetwater afterall. Either way you are in good hands, congrats on the new 814ce!

Yeah Jim done the same for me also. He had a brand new one from the factory come in yesterday and he compared the one he already had and the new one and is sending me the brand new one.

 I'm so stoked to get it....

 I've been playing on a Ibanez Performer AE that the top is all bowed up and you could drive a schoolbus under the 7th fret lol... Probably the worse taylor ever made would be a major improvement..

Please, post some pics of that 814ce, now you've got me excited to see it!

Sounds like you are getting a great guitar and I know it's coming from a great dealer. My BTO from Jim arrived this week and I couldn't be happier. I can't wait to see some pics. I love the look of the TSB 814ce. Enjoy the new guitar!
