Verified Purchaser zZounds has verified that this reviewer purchased this specific product from us.
This is an absolutely gorgeous guitar with a flawless, gloss finish that even impresses my friends who own Taylors with higher model numbers! My 114ce has a matte finish that’s susceptible to staining, so I’m pleased with the simplicity of giving this one a frequent wipe with a microfiber. After unboxing and tuning it to standard, I laid my straight edge across the frets to check for bow/arch. I’m delighted to report they were laser straight. It’s build solid, has throaty lows, crystalline highs and sustain longer than a gunshot echo in the Grand Canyon. zZounds raised the bar, as usual, and it arrived so fast that FedEx must’ve already had it on their truck, parked about a block away and waiting on me to click the “Confirm Purchase” button. zZounds is the “Amazon” of music stores. Thanks zZounds and thanks Taylor!!
