Taylor 814ce Grand Auditorium Adirondack Spruce/Honduran Rosewood Shaded Edge Burst
With its comfort-focused design sensibility, top-tier tonewoods and striking details, this Builder's Edition 814ce represents a new phase of evolution for Taylor's flagship guitar. This Grand Auditorium acoustic-electric takes a beloved wood pairing to the next level with Honduran rosewood and Adirondack spruce, combining low-end warmth and treble clarity with even more harmonic complexity and headroom. The result is a lush, richly textured voice that remains articulate even with the most aggressive attack, with blooming overtones and unmatched sustain delivering an exceptionally robust musical character that performs beautifully across playing styles and applications. Builder's Edition contours include chamfered body edges, a beveled armrest and matching cutaway, and a smooth Curve Wing bridge. Along with Taylor's signature easy-playing neck, players can expect a remarkably comfortable, accommodating experience that's sure to provide endless inspiration. This model features premium appointments such as Element fretboard inlays in shell and mother of pearl, a rosewood pickguard, Gotoh 510 antique gold tuning machines, and a full-body gloss finish with a Kona edgeburst for the back and sides and a complementary burst treatment for the top.
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.
Adirondack Spruce
Known for its high volume ceiling and dynamic, lively response, Adirondack spruce retains exceptional clarity even with an aggressive attack.
Expression System 2
The Expression System 2 captures more of a guitar’s dynamic properties using a breakthrough behind-the-saddle design.
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.
V-Class Bracing
Our patented V-Class bracing is a revolutionary new pattern — a new sonic engine — that marks a major shift away from traditional steel-string bracing patterns.
