advice

Post by Santo390 »

i'm lookin into getting a new guitar - i was at Guitar Center (in NY) and i kinda fell in love with this taylor 614ce. the tag is $2,599.99 - i know i can talk them down, but i dont know how much and i was wondering if anyone wouldn't mind giving me some input as to what would be reasonable and if the 614 is even worth it.

Im sure you have heard this before...but Taylor retailers typically pay 50% of the list price and you can usually go 10-15% up on that cost (be reasonable) and work from there. Just a starting point for ya.

Yeah that is way too much for a 614-CE, you should be able to get a new one right about $2000 or so. Talking them down is something you should definitely do if you want to get it from them for any particular reason ;-) But yeah, just keep looking around, you'll find a price you'll like :-P
