2018 Taylor PS14ce "V-Class"
A very different guitar for Taylor's Presentation line that year. The guitar has cocobolo back and side wood instead of Macassar Ebony with a Sinker Redwood top. According to one of the folks at Taylor (visited the factory in July 2019), they only made few of these in this configuration. Taylor was transitioning to Tasmanian Blackwood back and sides. This model features Nouveau Vines inlays in Paua shell. Other than the changes the woods and the new "V-Class" construction, this guitar has the same appointments as the 2017 PS14ce model. A description of the 2017 model is found here: https://www.taylorguitars.com/guitars/acoustic/ps14ce-2017 Serial Number: 1110308138
Purchased, new, from Wildwood Guitars, Louisville, Colorado, 23 April 2019, for $8,999.
