Description
What makes this guitar special: A great playing anniversary model with a fantastic sound and breathtaking appointments. The 514-CEAB sports a solid Cedar top (CE) and gorgeous abalone (AB) rosette & purfling. These appointments in tandem with the Fishman Prefix preamp make for a terrific sounding guitar that translates beautifully to stage performance. Professional setup is included-so all you have to do is tune it.
Cosmetic condition: Used but not abused, with some honest wear throughout. There are various light scratches, dents, dings, nicks, and scuffs present, with a handful of small chips in the finish and some wear along the bass side edge on the back. There is some seam separation along the adjoining piece of the neck heel, which looks to have been glued professionally. The joint is stable with no movement. For its age, this one is an 8/10.
Body: Double bound solid mahogany back & sides with solid cedar top. Abalone purfling and multi-ring ivoroid & abalone rosette. Tortoise pickguard. Ebony bridge with bone saddle and pearl inlaid ebony bridge pins.
Weight: 4 lb, 14.7 oz
Neck: Nicely rounded solid mahogany neck with pearl side dots and pearl slotted diamond inlays. Ebony fingerboard is in great shape, and while frets show wear they have a ton of life left in them. Rosewood headstock overlay with pearl Taylor logo and gold 25th Anniversary scrawl. Gold Grover tuners work great. 1 3/4” nut width, 25 1/2" scale length. Neck is straight and truss rod is functional.
Electronics: Fishman Prefix preamp system.
