Thoughtfully contoured with player-focused design elements and crafted with exceptional tonewoods, this Builder's Edition 814ce takes our flagship Grand Auditorium to new heights of sound and feel. A beautiful sinker redwood top paired with back and sides of Honduran rosewood deliver rich overtones and stunning low-end presence, all with improved power and sustain from a new scalloped variant of our V-Class bracing architecture. Thanks to the new Action Control Neck, players can dial in the perfect feel for any playing style in minutes, while our Claria pickup and preamp produce remarkably faithful, adaptable amplified tone for all scenarios without the need for significant fine-tuning. Chamfered body edges, a Curve Wing bridge, and a beveled armrest and cutaway add up to unmatched playing comfort, while Gotoh 510 tuners in antique gold, Element fretboard inlays in shell ad mother of pearl, and a glossy shaded edgeburst finish round out the package.
Features
A Classic Taylor with Player-Focused Upgrades: Comfort, sound and looks come together for an exceptional playing experience in this refined take on our beloved Grand Auditorium acoustic-electric.
Grand Auditorium: Taylor’s signature shape embodies the ultimate all-purpose acoustic.
Honduran Rosewood: Extremely dense compared to other rosewood species, Honduran rosewood sings with a uniquely smooth voice that makes it worthy of our finest guitars.
Action Control Neck: Building on Taylor’s legacy of easy-playing necks, the new Action Control Neck pairs a long-tenon joint for added warmth and depth with a patented system for effortless string height adjustment.
Sinker Redwood: Tight grain structure and cross-grain stiffness produce a bold and brilliant response with warm overtones. Think cedar on steroids.
The Claria Acoustic Pickup System: Versatile. Reliable. Easy to Use.
Beveled Cutaway: Our beveled cutaway design provides a more player-friendly feel for guitarists who utilize every inch of the fretboard. It features a compound design with a smoothened edge along the corner of the body between the end of the cutaway and the neck heel, providing a more comfortable feel for the fretting hand.
