Taylor 814ce Builder's Edition Acoustic Electric Guitar

The Taylor 814ce Builder’s Edition elevates one of Taylor’s most celebrated models into an ultra-refined instrument crafted for serious players. With a Grand Auditorium body and the classic tonewood pairing of Indian rosewood and Adirondack spruce, this model is built for tonal clarity, dynamic range, and long-lasting sustain. Builder’s Edition upgrades take comfort and aesthetics to a new level, including a beveled mahogany armrest, contoured cutaway, and a custom Curve Wing bridge. Each detail is designed to enhance both the playing experience and the sonic performance.

A carefully book-matched four-piece Adirondack spruce top delivers added power and tonal depth, while a modified V-Class bracing design refines the top’s response for a more nuanced and musical output. Premium Gotoh 510 tuners in antique gold offer ultra-precise tuning stability, and the ES2 electronics ensure that this guitar sounds just as inspiring plugged in as it does acoustically. Finished with a silent satin gloss and elegant detailing, the 814ce Builder’s Edition is a world-class guitar for recording, performance, or songwriting.
