I'd take a 910 over a 914 too, if those were my only choices. :thumbsup:

To echo the others though, I'd take a 714 over both.

cedar is much much warmer than spruce. its really hard to explain.. just play them. compare a regular 914 (eng) to a 714 (ced). they both have ei rosewood. only sound difference is the topwood.

I agree with Shane as well. I have played a ton of Taylor's....cause a Guitar Center is about a mile from my work, and I slip in there at lunch time alot to check them out.....and I greatly prefered the 714 over the 914. The cedar top makes the difference.

do they have the same bracing patterns? cause that makes a HUGE sound difference. if they do have the same bracing patterns... are the differences merely cosmetic?

all Taylors body styles have 1 bracing style. they dont vary between series.
