All but mint condition. Played sparingly and it shows. I never list mint but this could but since 2018 I’ll list as excellent.
***PLEASE NOTE THIS IS THE DELUXE 814 v-class
*** Premium details include a radius-style rosewood armrest and Gotoh 510 tuners that feature a precise 21:1 gear ratio, delivering an ultra-smooth playing experience. And with deluxe features like maple binding, mother-of-pearl Element fretboard and peghead inlays, a smoky ebony fretboard, thinner finish for enhanced resonance, rosewood top trim, and maple fretboard/peghead purfling lines, it’s easy to see why the 814ce DLX is a must have for any collection.
Just setup with Elixir 10s Polyweb for easy playing and picking out of the case. If you go higher gauge string (12s), might need adjustment, might not. Plug it in and be prepared to be blown away with perfect tone.
Setup is perfect with no issues at all. Set up currently with elixir .10 - .47 .... super easy on the fingers to play.

New price if found is $3,999 + tax and shipping.
This luxurious rosewood/spruce acoustic-electric Grand Auditorium reaches new levels of performance thanks to our patented V-Class bracing. By coaxing a more orderly response from the top, this game-changing bracing design allows the 814ce DLX to produce more powerful notes everywhere on the fretboard, along with stronger projection, longer sustain, and improved intonation, creating a more musical and expressive playing experience for guitarists. The classic pairing of Indian rosewood and Sitka spruce sparkles with new intensity thanks to the new internal bracing architecture, bringing out more of rosewood’s naturally warm overtones and producing clear, bell-like highs.
V-Class guitar bracing controls the top’s flexibility, creating a more orderly rocking motion across both sides of the top. The controlled flexing movement produces greater volume and increased sustain.
V-Class bracing maintains stiffness along the middle of the guitar, in the direction of the strings. That rigidity keeps the strings in motion, producing notes that resonate longer before fading out.
V-Class bracing makes the top more in tune with the vibrating strings. This eliminates much of the interference that causes some notes to waver and sound slightly out of tune. As a result, notes and chords played anywhere on the neck are more consistent and in tune with each other.
