Bloody Hell Jeff - there is a saying things comes in 3's so watch out for another Taylor :saeek: . Lovely guitars though and I should imagine your plucking days are a coming!!
Seriously if I was not already committed to buying another guitar - yes you heard that correct - I would take the Taylor of your hand right away. If I was you I would keep the 30th anniversary and sell the other one as thats the one which is going to appreciate in value, even if both are tonally the same. If you can hold for another month to six weeks and you have not got rid of the Taylor then I may well be interested!!

Re: So I Went To Get Some Strings, Stand And A Frickin' Strap....
Thanks guys.....the one on the left is the 30th anniversary model. It has the open leaf inlays, the rosewood inlay around the soundhole and the 30th Anniversary Logo on the headstock. That's really the only difference. The one on the right has the Fishman on board pre-amp, and the 30th has Taylors pre-amp replacing the Fishman....that's it.
I really already knew which one I would be keeping, but told myself I needed to play them side by side. I prefer the 30th Anniversary model (left in pic) because of the Anniversary appointments....that's why I really bought it. There is zero sound difference, and both play like a dream. I'm really wierd when it comes to looks and name brands. Both are killer guitars, and if I had never seen the 30th, I would have been permanently happy with the first one. I like the way the top has aged on the guitar on the right, and the back does have slightly nicer grain. The 30th will age as well, I'll just have to wait.
Any forum member who wants to buy the 314CE on the right can have it for exactly what I have in it $1150. That's a great deal on a brand new Taylor. I paid more for the 30th, although list is only $100 more than the standard 314CE. It has the super nice Taylor hardshell case with all the warranty information unsigned.
It's going to cost me a little over $300 for the nicer inlays, soundhole relief and headstock, but it's worth it to me.

And yes, I am married B2D....the secret is all in the training. Get em' young and break em' in the way you like em'. Well ok, that's not true. I am very fortunate to have a wife who doesn't give me grief about my gear purchases. Besides, I've got the $$ to pay for either Taylor, so I'll have the extra one sold and have the $$ in hand by the time the credit card bill arrives.
The wife and daughter are going to get haircuts and manicures next weekend as part of their reward. It's all about balance, they get some things they want, I get to do pretty much what I want, and everyone is happy. Perception is reality, and I just do my best to make sure that the wife gets to enjoy some nicer things and has some toys that she likes. Thank goodness she does not have expensive taste like me! Usually $50-$100 dollars keeps here more than happy.
