For the discerning player looking to elevate their craft, the Taylor Builder’s Edition 814ce offers a masterfully refined instrument designed to inspire both visually and sonically. As a premium evolution of Taylor’s celebrated 800 Series, this Grand Auditorium model showcases a remarkable pairing of tonewoods: a stunning solid sinker redwood top — sourced from old-growth timber recovered from California rivers — matched with richly resonant Honduran rosewood back and sides. The result is a tone that’s lush and responsive, with full-bodied lows, sparkling highs, and a sweet, balanced midrange. Taylor’s revolutionary V-Class bracing enhances every note, improving projection, sustain, and intonation for a voice that’s truly cohesive across the spectrum. Ergonomic features such as a beveled Venetian cutaway, radius armrest, and Taylor’s Standard Carve neck profile ensure exceptional comfort and effortless playability. Elegant Element inlays, a Crelicam ebony fingerboard and bridge, and Gotoh 510 antique gold tuners round out the upscale appointments. Whether on stage or in the studio, the onboard Expression System 2 electronics capture every nuance of your performance. A deluxe hardshell case is included to protect this extraordinary instrument. Available now at Haggerty’s Music.
