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.
Key Features
- 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.
- ES2 Electronics — Taylor's proprietary 'Expression System 2' captures more of the guitar's dynamic properties using a breakthrough behind-the-saddle design.
- Included Deluxe Hardshell Case — An essential accessory for protecting and transporting the guitar to rehearsals, performances and recording sessions.
