Every remarkable instrument begins with a vision to inspire players, and the Taylor Next Generation 814ce LTD was created to elevate one of Taylor's most celebrated acoustic designs with a distinctive aesthetic worthy of its world-class craftsmanship. Available now at Haggerty's Music, this limited-edition Grand Auditorium combines the legendary sound and playability of the Next Generation 814ce with an exclusive Casablanca Beige Metallic finish inspired by a rare late-1970s Porsche color. The result is a guitar that turns heads before a single note is played, then rewards every performance with the rich, articulate voice that has made the 814ce a benchmark for modern acoustic guitars. It also includes a Taylor Deluxe hardshell case for premium protection.

A gloss Sitka spruce top paired with two-piece Indian rosewood back and sides creates the timeless tonal combination prized by discerning players for its exceptional balance, shimmering highs, rich overtones, and deep, piano-like bass response. Taylor's innovative Scalloped V-Class bracing with Relief Rout enhances sustain, volume, and harmonic accuracy while producing impressive clarity across the entire fingerboard. The versatile Grand Auditorium body shape offers the projection and fullness of a dreadnought with a more comfortable silhouette, making it equally at home with fingerstyle arrangements, flatpicking, intricate accompaniment, and expressive strumming. Elegant appointments including maple binding, a green abalone rosette, a rosewood armrest, and the striking Casablanca Beige Metallic finish give this limited edition an unmistakably refined presence.

Taylor's renowned playing comfort comes from the satin-finished neo-tropical mahogany neck, Standard Carve profile, and ebony fingerboard adorned with beautiful Mother of Pearl Windansea inlays. The Action Control Neck system allows for fast, precise neck adjustments while contributing to enhanced low-end response, and the onboard Taylor Claria electronics faithfully capture every nuance of the guitar's natural acoustic character for stage and studio performance. Complete with smoked nickel hardware, premium D'Addario XS strings, and a Taylor Deluxe hardshell case with a British Cocoa vinyl exterior, the Next Generation 814ce LTD is an extraordinary blend of innovative engineering, premium tonewoods, and limited-edition style.
