If the essence of the word smooth were to manifest in the shape of a guitar, it’d look something like this 1997 PS-14 Presentation Taylor. The contours of Abalone purfling across the Engelmann Spruce top and Rosewood sides, Pearl inlay across the fretboard, quietly rippling grain in the Brazilian Rosewood back, C profile neck like glass; the visual execution is strikingly organic. That velveteen flair carries over to the voice, itself silky and balanced. The bass response has a well-defined fundamental but doesn’t overwhelm the overall tone. The clarity across the strings is an excellent candidate for fingerstyle explorations, and if you let the treble strings ring out for a moment or two you'll notice a pleasing swell of overtones that overtakes the voice as the initial note decays.

Taylor built this Presentation P-14 for the 1997 Musikmesse convention in Frankfurt, which helps to explain the painstaking attention to detail and seamless execution. The setup is just as glassy as the gloss finish; swift and silky. One of the most distinct-sounding Taylors we’ve had in the shop, this one gives many boutique-built guitars a run for their money.
