Another bad Taylor on E-bay...
 
This isn't a fake Taylor.

But this definitely ISN'T a 814ce.

I already notified the seller, but he/she claims that it says 814ce on the tag. Yeah right. The old number is scraped off and 814ce looks like it was typed on there with a crappy typewriter.

Yeah. I mean, there's no doubt that that is a real authentic Taylor. I think what's in question is whether that's a 314 or a 414. It is definitely not a 814 by any chance, plus the back of that guitar isn't even rosewood so you couldn't even pull it off for a 414 LTD.

It seems like someone peeled off the label, rigged it with 814, stuck it back on the guitar, and tried to pass it off for a higher model Taylor.

I called Taylor with the serial number and was advised that it was a 114 e. I have also reported the item on ebay, but feel free to do the same

leeplaysblues 04-07-2008 04:26 PM

Anyone going to report this?

tsaidog 04-07-2008 04:27 PM

didn't someone just report it?

I knew it! I wasnt sure though, the back looks identical to a 110.
Well done!

I was close!!!

leeasam 04-07-2008 04:31 PM

yes it is a 114e
http://www.taylorguitars.com/Guitars/100-200/100/114e/

I can tell by the binding and the lack of bracing support on the back so it is laminate.



Taylor made no full acoustic models in the upper ends that were the old number system except maybe 810.

what is really funny is if the owner would even look at the description from taylor of what the guitar would be they could SEE it is NOT what they have. Gold tuners- Gloss finish are just TWO thing that this guitar does NOT have. It is possible that they were taken to the cleaners them selves but they can see it is NOT what the ad claims.


NICE CASE THOUGH!!!!!
