Pre-Owned Taylor Sunset Blvd. 714ce Shaded Edge Burst with Hard Shell Case
The Taylor Sunset Blvd. 714ce: A Refined California Inspired Performer
Premium Sinker Redwood Top and Rosewood Body
As you might imagine, we at Five Star Guitars play a lot of nice guitars, but few are truly exceptional examples, and this instrument is exactly that. Exceptional. The solid sinker redwood top offers a uniquely expressive response, combining the warmth and sensitivity often associated with cedar with a broader dynamic range and increased headroom. The solid Indian rosewood back and sides bring depth and harmonic richness, producing a complex tonal palette that feels equally at home under a light fingerstyle touch or a more aggressive strum.
Grand Auditorium Body with V Class Bracing
Built in the ever versatile Grand Auditorium body shape, this model strikes a perfect balance between comfort and projection. The inclusion of V Class bracing enhances sustain, volume and overall intonation, allowing notes to bloom with clarity and separation. The result is a guitar that feels alive in your hands, offering a responsive and dynamic playing experience across a wide range of styles.
Effortless Playability and Taylor Precision
Taylor’s reputation for playability is fully realized here with a slim neck profile and a smooth satin finish that invites long sessions without fatigue. The standard carve neck shape provides a familiar and comfortable grip, while the 25 1/2 inch scale length ensures clarity and articulation across the fretboard. Every detail works together to create an instrument that feels fast, precise and inspiring.
Elegant Sunset Blvd Aesthetics
Visually, this guitar is as compelling as it is sonically. The shaded edgeburst top gives a nod to classic California design, complemented by grained ivoroid binding and a striking green abalone rosette. Faux pearl engraved Victorian inlays add a layer of vintage sophistication, while gold hardware ties the entire aesthetic together with a refined finish. This instrument shows light cosmetic wear consistent with regular use. All wear is cosmetic and has been documented in the provided photoset. The guitar remains fully original and includes its original hardshell case.
Expression System 2 Electronics for Stage and Studio
Equipped with Taylor’s Expression System 2 electronics, this guitar is ready for performance. The system captures the natural character of the instrument with clarity and balance, ensuring that the nuanced voice of the sinker redwood and rosewood pairing translates beautifully whether amplified live or recorded in the studio.
