The 2026 Builder’s Edition 814ce redefines premium acoustic-electric performance, uniting Taylor’s most advanced innovations with an ultra-refined playing experience and tonewood pairing once reserved for only Taylor’s most elite guitars. This edition features a sinker redwood top paired with Honduran rosewood back and sides, a combination known for its exceptional warmth, lush overtones, and piano-like clarity. Designed with stage, studio, and songwriting versatility in mind, this guitar blends visual elegance with modern musical functionality.

Next-gen upgrades include Taylor’s long-tenon Action Control neck, allowing effortless micro-adjustments to your action without removing strings, as well as scalloped V-Class bracing, which enhances open-string resonance, low-end response, and tonal bloom. The Claria electronics system, designed with input from pro touring artists, ensures rich, plug-and-play acoustic tone in any live setting. Add in Builder’s Edition touches like the beveled armrest, beveled cutaway, and Curve Wing bridge, and you’ve got a top-tier instrument built for serious players who won’t settle for less.

Visually, this Builder’s Edition 814ce stands apart with its Shaded Edgeburst top and Kona edgeburst back and sides, combined with a gloss body finish and satin-finished neck. It’s both inspiring and inviting — a guitar made for long playing sessions, pristine recordings, and unforgettable performances. Complete with a hardshell case, this acoustic represents the next generation of Taylor excellence; available now at Haggerty’s Music.
