Greetings from Pa. I found this forum while searching for an illusive Taylor 614ce with the blue stain finish. I played one about a year or so at a local Guitar Center store. Since then, like the ELO song says "I can't get it out of head". The look,feel and the sound is incredible! I've done the Martin Guitar tour in Nazereth,Pa. Very impressive! Also played a few Martins, but I have never heard anything with such clarity and ring like the Taylors I've tried.Does anyone here know if the Blue 614 ce was a limited production? I have  an Ibanez as83vls and an Epiphone Les Paul ebony custom pro and I won't part with either but I still want the 614ce for finger picking and sweet acoustic strumming.

Greetings from Pa...

Hello from a native Pennsylvanian!

... I found this forum while searching for an illusive Taylor 614ce with the blue stain finish. I played one about a year or so at a local Guitar Center store. Since then, like the ELO song says "I can't get it out of head". The look,feel and the sound is incredible! ... Does anyone here know if the Blue 614 ce was a limited production...?

Taylor offered colored finishes on their 'legacy' (pre-2015) 600-Series guitars; you must have found one at the Guitar Center.  Most 'legacy' 600's were made with a natural finish; the colored finishes were made in comparatively fewer numbers.  But since the 600 Series has been re-vamped, you might need to look for that blue 614ce on the used market.  Good luck!

I just bought a GS mini and trying to find out information about it. And luckily I found this site..very informative to a newbie like me.  I am 17 years old from the Philippines.  Still learning to play guitar and i hope one day I could hear myself playing confidently with my GS.
Thanks and peace to all.

Welcome, heartstrings,
A GS Mini is a great way to get into the Taylor world. Best sounding small guitar on the planet imo.
This is a very friendly and helpful forum so anything you need to know will be answered, I'm sure :)

Hello everyone.  My name is Brian and I can tell you exactly how I felt when I played my first Taylor, that reverberation through my stomach and chest with the perfect balance of Lows, mids, and highs to my ear.  So bittersweet it was that day I was not able to take it home.  Now years later, I was fortunate enough to be able to purchase my first.  I have a few now and I am wondering to know others' opinion of the year and models I have.
Cheers,
Brian

Hello Everyone,
Long time musician and been playing Taylors (614 and 814) for about 14 years.
I'm hoping to learn more about my guitars and meeting other good Taylor people.

Thx,

Hi. Just joined. We're new to guitar, but serious about learning in our mid 50s. We bought a Taylor GS Mini, a Martin Custom 00021 and are about to buy a Taylor 512 12 fret for our first year arsenal. We're traveling full time in an RV and on the way to Alaska.

Welcome. Learning guitar and full-time rv'ing sounds like a good combination. Nice trio of guitars to do it with too. We travel in a Class A motorhome with all sorts of instruments, but we are not full-timers.

Hi everybody!

I'm Felix from Spain, Europe
I've joined this forum nearly at the same time as becoming a Taylor fan
I've been an amateur musician for many years, playing acoustic, electric and nylon classical (jack of all trades...) and for acoustics I've always been a Martin guy, but I've recently acquired a Taylor 150e, and after that I became interested in the brand, and the result is now I also own a 814ce and there's also a 618 at my local store which is calling me "Dad"

I'm sure I'll learn a lot in this forum and I hope to be able to contribute every now and then

Please excuse me for my bad English
