This Taylor 814ce LTD Cocobolo Grand Auditorium represents a striking evolution of one of Taylor’s most iconic models. Long celebrated as a benchmark for modern acoustic tone and playability, the 814ce platform is elevated here with luxurious cocobolo back and sides paired with a premium Sitka spruce top. The result is a guitar that feels both familiar and extraordinary — rooted in the trusted clarity of the 800 Series, yet enriched with the depth, color, and visual drama that cocobolo brings to the table. With its shaded edgeburst treatment and meticulously appointed details, this limited edition instrument is as visually captivating as it is sonically inspiring.
Tonally, cocobolo offers a bold and complex voice, often compared to rosewood but with added density, extended low-end authority, and shimmering overtones. Combined with Taylor’s V-Class bracing, the 814ce LTD delivers impressive sustain, improved intonation, and a dynamic range that responds beautifully to both a light fingerstyle touch and aggressive strumming. The Grand Auditorium body shape provides exceptional balance across all six strings, making it equally suited for solo performance, studio work, and ensemble settings. From articulate highs to piano-like bass response, this guitar offers clarity without sacrificing warmth.
Playability remains a hallmark of the Taylor experience. The satin-finished Neo-Tropical mahogany neck and comfortable Standard Carve profile feel fast and natural in the hand, while the Venetian cutaway provides effortless access to upper frets. The West African Crelicam ebony fingerboard, adorned with elegant mother-of-pearl Element inlays, offers a smooth and precise playing surface. Premium aesthetic touches — including the Indian rosewood armrest, bound soundhole with green abalone rosette, and matching rosewood pickguard — create a cohesive, refined appearance that reflects the instrument’s boutique-level craftsmanship.
Stage and studio readiness come courtesy of Taylor’s Claria electronics system, designed to faithfully reproduce the guitar’s natural acoustic voice with clarity and control. Soundhole-mounted controls allow intuitive tone shaping, while the under-saddle pickup ensures reliable performance in live environments. Protected by a hardshell case and available now at Haggerty’s Music, this 814ce LTD Cocobolo is a rare opportunity to own a refined, limited-edition Taylor built for players who demand both beauty and performance.
