Went the other day to a brand new Guitar Center facility in Paramus NJ, a consolidation of two separate locations in that town that opened last weekend. Had a staff person take a brand new 914 off the wall; he cautioned me that the G string had some buzz. The intonation in general seemed to be off. I don't understand how GC would knowingly have an imperfect instrument at this price sitting around without resolving the problem either through their own repair department or the Taylor factory. Doesn't speak well for the location!
