Value of Taylor 914C with Cindy Inlay and Flame Koa Back and Sides

[DavidE]

A friend offered me one of his two Taylor 914C with Cindy Inlay and Flame Koa Back and Sides guitars. It's a fantastic instrument in looks, sound and playability. It does have an under saddle pickup installed but no hole in the side. I'm trying to get an idea of the value but I haven't found any others with the Koa back and sides.

Any assistance would be appreciated.

Thanks!

What year? What pickup? That might help narrow it down.

p.s. what's a "Cindy" inlay?

Ask in the Taylor section of this forum: www.acousticguitarforum.com (http://www.acousticguitarforum.com) lots of guys there that know their Taylor's.

I did and no responses. Yet.

The pickup is somewhat irrelevant since it's aftermarket and probably neither adds to or subtracts from the value.

And no offense intended, but if you don't know what Cindy inlay is, I wouldn't expect you to know about this particular guitar.

Cindy inlay is a particular intricate inlay pattern Bob Taylor named after his wife, Cindy. It was discontinued some years ago.
