Description
The Taylor K14ce Builder's Edition creates a playing experience like no other with stunning attention to detail in tone, playing comfort, and aesthetics. Its Hawaiian Koa back and sides deliver a balanced, sturdy tonal foundation for its Sitka Spruce top, with everything held together by Taylor's renowned V-Class bracing. The Hawaiian Koa not only provides a great tonal backbone, it looks absolutely stunning as well, with a Kona Burst finish that really makes the wood's figuring pop. Plus, Koa sounds naturally bright at first, but the more you play it, the more midrange tonalities it produces, resulting in a balanced sound that pairs exceptionally well with the torrefied Sitka Spruce top. The Builder’s Edition K14ce has exceptional ergonomics as well, with a beveled armrest, beveled body edge binding, and a smooth Venetian cutaway. You also get a Silent Satin finish, which reduces feedback, while being much easier to maintain than your usual gloss finish. Plus, its Tropical Mahogany neck and West African Ebony fingerboard (inlaid with a beautiful Spring Vine pattern) deliver a responsive feel across all 20 frets. We truly believe this guitar is one of the finest Taylors to come through the shop, and we know you won’t be disappointed thanks to the K14ce Builder’s Edition’s stunning sonics, playing comfort, and unmatched attention to detail.
