Next Generation Builder's Edition 814ce Honduran Rosewood/Sinker Redwood

Thoughtfully contoured with player-focused design elements and crafted with exceptional tonewoods, this Builder's Edition 814ce takes Taylor's flagship Grand Auditorium to new heights of sound and feel. A beautiful sinker redwood top paired with back and sides of Honduran rosewood deliver rich overtones and stunning low-end presence, all with improved power and sustain from a new scalloped variant of Taylor's V-Class bracing architecture. Thanks to the new Action Control Neck, players can dial in the perfect feel for any playing style in minutes, while the Claria pickup and preamp produce remarkably faithful, adaptable amplified tone for all scenarios without the need for significant fine-tuning. Chamfered body edges, a Curve Wing bridge, and a beveled armrest and cutaway add up to unmatched playing comfort, while Gotoh 510 tuners in antique gold, Element fretboard inlays in shell ad mother of pearl, and a glossy shaded edgeburst finish round out the package.

Features

Grand Auditorium Body Shape: Taylor's flagship shape offers comfort and cross-genre utility, with a clear, balanced tone suited for both fingerstyle and strumming.

Honduran Rosewood Back & Sides: Extremely dense compared to other rosewood species, Honduran rosewood sings with a uniquely smooth voice that makes it worthy of our finest guitars.

Sinker Redwood Top: Tight grain structure and cross-grain stiffness produce a bold and brilliant response with warm overtones. Think cedar on steroids.

Action Control Neck: Building on Taylor’s legacy of easy-playing necks, the new Action Control Neck pairs a long-tenon joint for added warmth and depth with a patented system for effortless string height adjustment.

The Claria Acoustic Pickup System: Designed for reliability and ease of use, the Claria System features a reimagined piezo pickup that delivers clear, versatile acoustic tone for any application.

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.
