View Original Thread: How much is my Taylor worth?

 
Fitz

Hi everybody, new member here. I bought a new Taylor 614-ce in 2005 for about $2500. It has maple sides and back and spruce top and uses the Expression System electronics. The color is honey sunburst. I want to sell it but have no idea what it's worth. I don't want to rip anybody off, but I don't want to rip myself off either. How do I go about finding the value of my guitar, to get an idea of a fair asking price? Thanks in advance.

Hello Fitz,

Sorry it took so long for a reply, but just in case you're still interested (or advice for anyone else selling a guitar), a good rule of thumb is to register on ebay and search completed auctions. Unused Taylor 614-ce guitars are listed around $2200 but there was one auction for a used, 2001 example that sold for $1600:

From the pics, you should be able to see whether yours is a better example or not.
