Product Description
Many musicians consider the 814ce as the quintessential Taylor acoustic guitar, thanks to its classic Rosewood/Spruce tonewood pairing in tandem with Taylor's flagship contemporary, cutaway Grand Auditorium body style. Together, the 814ce's rich tone, musical versatility and superb playability have given players a refined workhorse tool for many different playing techniques and musical applications. The 814ce model is now a part of Taylor's luxurious Builder's Edition collection — further enhancing its performance virtues with a raft of premium craftsmanship details.
Among the suite of material refinements are a soundboard upgrade, from solid Sitka Spruce to a carefully matched four-piece top of solid Adirondack Spruce. The high-end craftsmanship reflected in the Builder's Edition philosophy acknowledges the evolving future of the world's forests, where a great soundboard will require careful woodworking joinery to utilize smaller sizes of the high-grade timber preferred for an heirloom instrument. The artful craftsmanship yields a high-quality soundboard and displays a beautifully consistent grain structure.
