Taylor 814CE Builder's Edition

Taylor 814ce Builder's Edition, featuring an Adirondack Spruce top, Indian Rosewood back and sides, a 1 3/4" nut width and a 25 1/2" scale length. Complete with case.

The 814ce has long been considered the quintessential Taylor guitar thanks to its classic Rosewood / Spruce tonewood pairing in tandem with Taylor’s flagship cutaway Grand Auditorium body style. Together, the rich tone, musical versatility and signature playability have given players a refined workhorse tool for many different playing styles and musical applications. Now, they’re bringing the 814ce to the Builder’s Edition collection, further enhancing its performance virtues with a suite of premium craftsmanship details. Among the suite of material refinements are a soundboard upgrade from solid Sitka Spruce to a carefully matched four-piece top of solid Adirondack Spruce. The high-end craftsmanship reflected in the Builder’s Edition philosophy acknowledges the evolving future of the world’s forests, where a great soundboard will require careful woodworking joinery to utilize smaller sizes of the high-grade timber preferred for an heirloom instrument. The artful craftsmanship yields a high-quality soundboard and displays a beautifully consistent grain structure.
