Product Description
An Adirondack spruce top provides an upgrade over the Standard Sitka-topped 814ce, bolstering the headroom of this model and giving players ample dynamic range on top of rosewood’s rich tonal palette. Aesthetic details include rosewood top trim, maple fretboard and peghead purfling, a green abalone rosette trimmed with rosewood and maple purfling, rosewood soundhole binding, mother-of-pearl Element inlays, a Kona edgeburst back and sides, gloss-finish body, rosewood pickguard and Gotoh 510 tuning machines in Antique Gold.
Features
- Long-Tenon Action Control Neck -The long-tenon neck joint improves the neck-to-body connection, adding warmth and depth to the guitar’s voice. At the same time, the Action Control feature makes adjusting string height quicker and more precise than ever — no need to remove strings or the neck. Players can dial in their preferred setup in seconds and adapt on the fly to changing styles or shifting climate conditions. It’s the ultimate fusion of tone, stability and setup convenience.
- Scalloped V-Class Bracing - The latest evolution of Taylor’s V-Class bracing introduces a scalloped profile that unlocks a warmer low end and richer open-string resonance, while preserving the balance, pitch accuracy and projection that define V-Class. The guitars are now seasoned with a touch of low-end depth that adds more fullness to the voice.
- Claria System Acoustic Electronics - Developed with extensive input from touring artists and live sound engineers, Taylor’s new Claria System reimagines the under-saddle piezo pickup to deliver consistent plug-and-play acoustic tone in any setting. A proprietary preamp tames the harshness of traditional piezos and incorporates soundhole-mounted controls: Volume, Tone and a versatile Mid-Contour knob. The result is a consistent, stage-ready tone that’s easy to shape for any setting — from solo café gigs to large-venue performances.
- Adirondack Spruce Solid Spruce Top — A desirable acoustic top wood that generates a broad dynamic range with great articulation; suitable for anything from aggressive strumming to soft finger-picking.
- Indian Rosewood Back & Sides — Yields crisp highs that are balanced by a deep, woody low-end that emerges as the guitar is played in.
- West African Crelicam Ebony Fingerboard — A dark and silky-smooth material that adds brightness and snap into the tonal equation.
