Default Another addition to the family
If you look at my signature, you may rightfully ask why I would want an 814ce and an 816ce. That would be a fair question!

My wife bought me the 814ce brand new in 2010. I’ve kept it in pristine shape as my couch guitar. I know some say we should take them all out to gigs, but I have two others for that.

Now I have three!!! I love the “16” Grand Symphony body for playing out live. It just fits me best.

But the smaller “14” Grand Auditorium is great for my at home couch guitar.

Here’s the new (2008) one!

Congrats! My favorite Taylor was an old GS7es which was essentially a 716 Cedar/EIR. Probably shoulda kept that one? Enjoy!

Congrats! Nobody should question, if it's what you enjoy and use. Super nice guitar to add to the stable.
Ps. I'm the same way with GA's.

You must be new here; we would never ask that question. Congrats on the new Taylor...

Stratcat, I would never ask the question "why I would want an 814ce and an 816ce. " . Congrats and enjoy your Taylor family!

Taylors are such nice guitars, jus seem to be made for gigging.

BTW didn't know you guys gigged at Brickhouse, will have to get up there and see you next time you are there.
