Created with top-notch craftsmanship by the experts at Taylor, the Builder’s Edition 814ce is designed to elevate your playing experience from every angle. This next-level evolution of Taylor’s flagship Grand Auditorium model maintains the hallmark tonewood pairing of solid Indian rosewood back and sides, but upgrades the top to a finely crafted four-piece Adirondack spruce cap. The result is a highly responsive, full-spectrum voice with warm lows, clear trebles, and enhanced dynamic range — all supported by Taylor’s groundbreaking V-Class bracing, which boosts volume, sustain, and harmonic resonance.

This Builder’s Edition 814ce also boasts refined player-centric comfort features: a beveled armrest and cutaway, subtle body taper, and soft satin-finished neck, all of which create an incredibly smooth, ergonomic feel. Aesthetically, the instrument commands attention with its full-body gloss finish and striking Kona burst on the back and sides. Expression System® 2 electronics ensure your sound translates beautifully in any performance setting. A Taylor deluxe hardshell case in brown is included for superior protection and portability. Available now at Haggerty’s Music.
