The D14 was a budget dreadnought style acoustic guitar. Manufacture started sometime in the 1980s (possibly 1988?) but the D14 was discontinued by 1992. It used laminates thoughout, although there was a Limited Edition solid top model.
It had a spruce top adorned with a tortoise-shell effect pickguard and three-ply body binding. Back and sides were rosewood. The mahogany neck had 20-frets and a rosewood fingerboard with pearl dot inlays for position markers. The bridge was rosewood with pearl dot white pins. The tuners were chrome and the finish was natural or tobacco sunburst (D14-TS).

| 2012 | $125 | good | D. Keefe | Bought on craigslist in Sept. 2012 (at the moment it's Feb. 2016). It was in a cardboard case. The strings were poorly wound and one of the tuner screw holes was stripped which made the peg wobble when it was turned. So I got to learn how to fix that: I used slivers from a toothpick and a tiny drop of wood glue to shim the hole. That worked. I've never babied it and so it has a few scars, which I kinda like. Its value is only sentimental, but I'm going to spend a couple hundred on it this week: It's getting a professional setup, bone nut and compensated saddle, and a hard shell case. I'm excited! |
