Description
The Taylor 814ce is one of the most iconic acoustic guitars of the modern day. With its flagship cutaway Grand Auditorium body, traditional appearance, and gorgeous voice, the 814ce checks all the boxes regarding looks, tone, and comfort. The Builder's Edition 814ce takes that same classic acoustic and gives it several exciting modifications, making it a perfect fit for players seeking a well-rounded, masterfully crafted Taylor.
Instead of using Sitka spruce for this model, Taylor built it with a solid sinker redwood top, giving it a bold, dynamic tone with warm overtones. This pairs excellently with its Indian rosewood body, which delivers a resonant sound with deep lows, bell-like highs, and slightly scooped mids. It also sports an ES2 pickup system with three uniquely positioned and individually calibrated sensors, allowing it to capture every nuance of your playing when amplified.
In addition to its tonal upgrades, the Builder's Edition 814ce features numerous refinements that enhance its playability. For one, it has a beveled cutaway that allows unrestricted access to the upper register, a must-have for soloists and lead players. Additionally, it boasts a sculpted armrest that reduces strumming arm fatigue.
Other premium appointments include Gotoh 510 tuners, a V-class brace, and a Kona Edgeburst finish. Please reach out if you've been searching for a top-of-the-line acoustic with a phenomenal sound and a striking look!
