 I imagine we might not see Maynard on the site for a few days.

 Enjoy your new Taylor.  :)

As it has not yet been said here yet.  The guitar isn't real until we see photos of it!!

Congrats on the thus far imaginary guitar! :)

Sorry. It was waiting for me yesterday when I got home from work. I got to play it for a little while but I had lots of yard work and other things to do. It is such an improvement over the Fender I had been playing and the sound is great. The action is so much better and it is so much less work on my fingers. My wife played it briefly and also noticed how much easier it was hitting notes. I will send her guitar out for a set-up now and if she sticks with it I will start looking for a 314ce for her. She has been loving the new Strat I had bought for myself which is great because I have no love for the electric at all. At least it is getting used. My oldest daughter (18) picked right up on the tonal differences. My youngest daughter (13) wasn't aware I bought a new one but as soon as she saw me with it she realized it wasn't the same one. I didn't get a chance to take any photos yet but I will this afternoon.

Glad to hear you've received your guitar! 8) The 414ce's are excellent...what really impresses me is that the mids are more enhanced than rosewood so for me the sound is wonderful at a less expensive cost. Is the back/sides more caramel in color or somewhat darker? I've seen more of the caramel coloring in the 4xx series, but mine has more of a chocolate color throughout.
