Pre-owned Taylor 214ce-K SB
Taylor guitars are known for their clear sound and easy playability. Their 100 and 200 series guitars are an excellent way to get these advantages at a more affordable price point. That's why we're always on the lookout for used Taylors - and now we've found this like-new 214ce-K SB.
This instrment has a Grand Auditorium body shape, good for both strumming and fingerstyle. Solid Sitka spruce top, layered koa back and sides, and an attractive Shaded Edgeburst finish. Taylor ES2 electronics give you the option to plug in.
All this for $1,049. What's not to like? More >>>

Larrivée Parlor Seeks Fingerstyle Player
Parlor-size guitars have a distinctive intimate voice that's very different from larger-bodied instruments. This US-made Larrivée P-09 FM is even more distinctive with its flamed maple back and sides.
Besides being beautiful, the maple construction gives it exceptionally clear tone.
Seventeen years old but hardly a mark on it, this guitar is looking for an appreciative fingerstyle player. More >>>
