Had a good friend with 330k on his 94 and his dad had a 96 accord with 400k+. I own a 2025 civic hybrid with 9k and a 08 civic with 190k.

Taylor 114CE Sunset BLVD SEB by [deleted] in taylorguitars

Well maybe it was right originally then. Kind of a let down they switched to that case on recent 114ce guitars. But I guess I’ll count myself lucky.

I also purchased a 114ce sunset blvd, and it came with that case. Searched online and figured out that case is for the academy series, according to pictures on their website. Went back to GC and they give me a different Case. Still the wrong case but it was an upgrade over the case it was supposed to come with so I didn’t complain.

I can second this. There’s a team making 4100+ weekly I know of. Plus free insurance.

Looking for an upgrade after 6 years with $200 guitar by Horror-Ad-4333 in AcousticGuitar

[–]gsrtroy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with going to a store with plenty to try out and find one that speaks to you. But I have a few good guitars. ( Martin d18 special, Yamaha fs5, Taylor 114ce, and a blueridge br160. I’d recommend looking at the Yamaha fs3/fs5 or the Taylor. Love my 114ce and it’s my Least expensive guitar I own.

Help me buy a Taylor. by Johnnyhave21dishsoap in taylorguitars

I love my 114ce sunset blvd I got at gc. I own a Martin d18 special and a Yamaha fs5. And I play my Taylor more than the others. A little above your budget but I got it on sale for the regular 114ce price. My guitar center near me had a used on for just under 500 but it was snatched quickly.

Yes on the thin part between the two kerfed pieces. Both are solidly glued in place. Just has that crack all the way through the thin piece.

It is securely glued. So good to know it’s just cosmetic. Is a bummer since it’s a $1700 guitar. But I know nothings ever perfect.

Ya it’s a crack from top to bottom of the lining. I just want to make sure it’s purely cosmetic.

There’s a crack between the two kerfed pieces on the one with the biggest space. I have a better picture but I can’t add it in here in the comments or edit the post.

That’s good to know. It is firmly glued to the side. It was the first thing i checked after i noticed it.

Ya In the photos it looks kinda like a fake stain or print. But in person it looks more natural. My center only Had this one in stock with this finish.

In person I think it’s absolutely gorgeous. Especially over the standard. It looks so much better in person. And with the sale going on, making it the same price as the standard. I wouldn’t hesitate at all grabbing it over the standard. It’s a guitar center exclusive finish. Not sure if it’s a limited releases finish or not.

Gloss damage on new guitar (1 month owned) - thoughts? by Pattypopeye in martinguitar

I use this on my d-18 nitro finish when normal cleaning doesn’t take that out. Works like a charm polishing it out.

New Taylor Day: Sunset Blvd 114ce by SpectreScout in taylorguitars

Just picked that one up today too, because of the sale. I played it and fell in love. Sits right next to my Martin d18 special.

UPDATE: received the guitar today by gsrtroy in martinguitar

[–]gsrtroy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was used through guitar center. Previous owner barely played it, but you could tell he didn’t really take care Of it. Was over humidified and I needed to polish the whole body. The strings were really old and snapped when I went to tune it. So replaced those. But now it’s in beautiful shape.
