I'd be willing to bet Tim Reynolds would have enough cash to special order his butt crack as inlay if he wanted.DMBFan63 wrote:I mean on a standard model, not special order 8)Snyder wrote:You can special order it for an extra $1,000 from what I hear.DMBFan63 wrote:You can tell he has the same one due to the cindy inlay, which is only made from 2000-2001 i believe

the cindy inlay was standard on the 914c from the mid-90's (maybe '95-'96ish?) until the year 2000. at the beginning of '01, the new 900 series inlay was launched.
the pre-2001 914c's also had a rosewood binding, rosewood headstock overlay, and gold tuners.
the 2001 and later 914's have an ivoroid binding, ebony headstock overlay, and ebanoid tuners -- and of course, the new inlay.
the cindy inlay is currently only available on a custom order basis (with exception to limited edition runs like the 900 series limiteds from late '03). the MSRP increase is $1200 for the inlay so that translates into an upcharge of about $720 (provided your dealer is cool and gives you 40% off the MSRP).
dave's 914's are from a variety of years. he used to play an older one with the florentine cutaway -- due to the size of the rosette on that guitar, i'd estimate it was from around '96 or so (see the aint it funny vid from 04/2?/02 from canada).
the others are probably '99s or '00s. i believe he also has another one that's an '01 or later, but it doesn't see much stage use.

other people can spout off how many times #34 was played with words, and the corresponding dates....
to each their own.
people were asking about taylor 914's, so i shared what i know....i'll be sure to get your written consent before posting anything informative again.
and in case you were wondering -- 914's do sound good.

I didn't mean to sound like an ass, but I quite frankly don't care what a guitar looks like if it sounds good. Obviously the 914 sounds good cause Dave uses it! I've seen some damn ugly Martins that sound amazing! Sorry to offend you but I just find it odd to know that much about a brand of guitar!crowdedstr wrote:some people are guitar enthusiasts....NJPearce22 wrote:You guys know way to much about Taylors and Martins!

i dont think anyone here would disagree with you -- sound and playability are paramount, looks are secondary. that said, a few bells and whistles are still kinda nice sometimes
well, i gotta dedicate my few remaining brain cells to something i guess....NJPearce22 wrote:Sorry to offend you but I just find it odd to know that much about a brand of guitar!
