Details
The 814ce has long been considered Taylor's flagship acoustic-electric guitar thanks to its mix of lush tone, playing comfort and all-purpose musical appeal. The Builder's Edition 814ce is the next evolution of this classic model. The solid Indian rosewood back and sides are paired with a four-piece Adirondack spruce top, a combo that yields an enticing blend of low-end warmth, treble-range clarity and remarkable power. This is further enhanced by Taylor's V-Class bracing, which draws out more of the blooming overtones and rich sustain that players love. A handful of comfort-focused enhancements, such as a beveled armrest and cutaway and a subtle body taper, elevate the relaxed, accommodating feel of the Grand Auditorium body, while a striking full-body gloss finish and Kona burst for the back and sides raise this model's visual profile. Whether you're looking for an all-purpose musical workhorse or an heirloom-quality guitar to augment your collection, the Builder's Edition 814ce makes a compelling case as the most quintessentially "Taylor" guitar they've ever built.
FEATURES
Grand Auditorium Body Shape: Taylor's signature shape embodies the ultimate all-purpose acoustic.
Indian Rosewood Back & Sides: The tonewood superstar. Popular, traditional, and versatile, Bob Taylor puts Indian rosewood among the greatest tonewoods ever.
Adirondack Spruce Top: Known for its high volume ceiling and dynamic, lively response, Adirondack spruce retains exceptional clarity even with an aggressive attack.
Expression System 2 Electronics: The Expression System 2 captures more of a guitar's dynamic properties using a breakthrough behind-the-saddle design.
Beveled Cutaway: Taylor's beveled cutaway design provides a more player-friendly feel for guitarists who utilize every inch of the fretboard. It features a compound design with a smoothened edge along the corner of the body between the end of the cutaway and the neck heel, providing a more comfortable feel for the fretting hand.
V-Class Bracing: Taylor's patented V-Class bracing is a revolutionary new pattern - a new sonic engine - that marks a major shift away from traditional steel-string bracing patterns.
