Product Description
An eye-catching aesthetic complements the rich tonal character of this special-edition take on our flagship 814ce, designed exclusively for 2025. A hand-selected Sitka spruce top with Bearclaw figuring is paired with solid Indian rosewood back and sides in a cutaway Grand Auditorium body, serving up rich sparkle and lush overtones that complement its clear trebles and warm lows. Tone-enhancing V-Class bracing increases volume, lengthens sustain and improves intonation. A slim-profile Taylor neck delivers a hand-friendly fretting experience while a radiused Indian rosewood armrest takes the edge off your strumming arm. The body and neck are artfully hand-sprayed with a charcoal edgeburst, which is accentuated by a highly-variegated fretboard marked by contrasting streaks of light and dark ebony. Mother-of-pearl fingerboard inlays showcase the design of our 800 Series between 2004 and 2013. Additional special-edition appointments include a single-ring green abalone rosette with Indian rosewood/maple/black purfling, Hard Rock maple body and soundhole binding, ebony fretboard and peghead binding, an Indian rosewood pickguard, and ebony bridge pins with green abalone dots. Equipped with Taylor satin black tuners and ES2 electronics, the 814ce Special Edition, Charcoal ships in a deluxe hardshell case.
Key Features
- Grand Auditorium - Taylor's ultimate all-purpose acoustic guitar shape. Perfect for all styles of music, loud or gentle, fingerpicked or strummed! This versatile body shape sits comfortably and has just the right amount of volume.
- Indian Rosewood Back and Sides: Regarded by players and builders as one of the number one tonewoods in guitar construction, specifically for acoustic guitar back and sides. Rich and musical lows with crystal clear and powerful highs.
- Ebony Fingerboard: A premium fingerboard tonewood choice, Ebony provides a beautiful brightness to the overall tone of the instrument. A perfect complement to the richness of the rosewood back and sides.
V-Class Bracing
Taylor's revolutionary V-shaped bracing pattern allows the soundboard of the guitar to resonate and flex naturally without any of the resistance found in more traditional bracing patterns. The guitar becomes louder and fuller with increased sustain and the notes along the fingerboard intonate better and generally sound more in tune with each other. The carefully thought-out design strikes the perfect balance of enough stiffness to remain stable and the perfect amount of flex for a powerful and harmonically rich sound.
ES2
Designed with the purpose of capturing as much of the expressive and dynamic properties of an acoustic guitar as possible the Taylor ES2 system is regarded as one of the best acoustic pickup systems on the market. Reimagining the typical Piezo transducers typically found on an acoustic pickup and positioning them behind the saddle rather than underneath led to a guitar pickup that not only sounds fuller and more dynamic but also more natural and musical.
