like 714ce (well, I know what the ce is). What does the 714 mean?
played the guitar of my dreams today
The 7 stands for the 700 series. Each series uses different woods. There are 200, 300, 400, 500, 600, 700, 800 and 900 series.
The 14 stands for the body style. The body styles are as follows:
10 = Dreadnaught
12 = Grand Concert
14 = Grand Auditorium
15 = Jumbo
If there is a "c" after everything, that means its a cutaway....and a "ce" means a cutaway with electronics (pickup).
There are a few other series and body type numbers, but the above covers most. Check out http://www.taylorguitars.com/guitars/
And jojo321....go for the school..has better long term benefits. Buying the guitar now will only get you beautiful women...and thats really shallow. Seriously, go for the school.

I really don't have a guitar of my dreams. I just basically play and if I like something then I'll dream about buying it. Today I did go to the music store and I played a Taylor 914, greatest shit ever. Then I played my first 12 String Guitar. I can't remember its name. The only song I know is Grey Street, so I'm sitting in the music store playing Grey Street and a little bit of Crash Into Me. After playing on these nice guitars, I realized that my guitar is really crappy and I need a new one.
