Excellent! It will bring you a lot of pleasure in the years to come. Think about investing in a few lessons to get you started on the right path.

Fortunately, this Forum is blessed with some real experienced Taylor owners, even experts, who can look at your pictures and know exactly which model that is.  I'm definitely not one of them as I am waiting on my first Taylor.

So, I give up:  exactly which model is that?  I at least can see the maple figuring on the back, and that it is a CE, but that's as far as I can go in identifying it. 

It is a real beauty and I congratulate you for your choice, and for having the wisdom to start your musical life with a good instrument.  I'm one who, like many, started with a truly lousy instrument (a Sears Silvertone---its almost embarrassing to say it) many years ago, and then "saw the light" after 6 mos. or a year......but that's another story!

Awesome way to get into playing the guitar! By the way, thanks for the GAS. I just bought my 814ce and thanks to you I want one like yours!  ::)

I'm gonna' go out on a limb and say it's a 614ce...

Congrats, it's beautiful! I am jealous, though. It was 29 years after starting guitar before I got my first full sized Taylor. I did have a couple real nice guitars before my first Taylor, but Taylor started only 1 year after I started playing.  Hope you enjoy your new Taylor. Be sure to take good care of it.
