I tried a 714CE once and loved it and it's sound reminded me of the 70's band America. I have been told to check out a 514CE also as the back and sides are mahogany whereas the 714 is rosewood. I primarily play Blues and was just wondering if anybody had any experience with these two models and would recommend one over the other for blues? Can't find a 514 in my area to try.

Hey Dan!
Great to know you're still out there. This forum's been pretty quiet lately so I'm not sure you'll get many replies. I'm afraid I don't have a lot of experience with acoustic guitars. You could try harmony central but their reviews should be taken with a grain of salt.

I honestly like the sound of Rosewood as a sidewood to mahogany, just a different sound. Though I also prefer Cherry for its lush sound over both of those, so if there's a Taylor made with Cherry sides I'd check that out. The one you played though seems to be pretty good, and if it plays well and sounds good it should be a keeper!

Hi Chris, still out here and finally getting healthy, so maybe I'll be able to get back to where I was RE recording before I got sick. Gettin old sucks!
I really liked the sound of the Ceder top and the rosewood back and sides, but hear so many nice things about HOG guitars. I've checked out Youtube and the differences I hear on there make me lean toward the 514, but then again the 714 doesn't sound like what I played, so who knows. Guess I could always get both!? What the heck, that'd only be about $4500+!
If anybody wants a Taylor guitar, check out Guitar Rodeo. Best prices I've found for Taylors, even MUCH better than used on E-Bay.
