Taylor Next Generation Builder's Edition 814ce, Indian Rosewood/Adirondack Spruce

Refined contours, classic tonewoods and a growing suite of player-focused enhancements have taken our Builder's Edition 814ce to new heights. With back and sides of Indian rosewood, this Grand Auditorium serves up a lush blend of warm lows, clear highs and rich harmonic detail, with overtones that bloom as notes resonate. An Adirondack spruce top paired with a scalloped variant of our V-Class bracing delivers unmatched power, volume and sustain. Further enhancing the experience are our Action Control Neck for quick, easy string height adjustments, new Claria electronics for plug-and-play utility in amplified scenarios, chamfered body edges, and a beveled armrest and cutaway. Other details include Element fretboard inlays, a Kona edgeburst for the back and sides, Gotoh 510 tuners, a full-body gloss finish, and a rosewood pickguard.
