Taylor Next Generation 814ce (2026), Ebony Fingerboard, Natural

~Guitar pictured is the actual guitar that you will receive~

The Taylor 814ce has been upgraded for 2026. The new upgrades include:

• Scalloped V-class Bracing
• Claria Under-Saddle Pickup
• Action Control Neck

There's a reason why the 814ce is Taylor's most acclaimed guitar: With its blend of refined craftsmanship, richly textured sound and artful aesthetics, the 814ce represents everything that they stand for as guitar builders. 

East Indian rosewood back and sides, a Sitka spruce top and scalloped V-Class bracing produce a lush response with warm lows, pristine trebles and a slightly scooped midrange, leaving space in the mix for vocals or other instruments. Scalloped V-Class bracing introduces a scalloped profile that unlocks a warmer low end and richer open-string resonance, while preserving the balance, pitch accuracy and projection that define V-Class.

The Action Control Neck refines the micro-adjustability of Taylor's standard neck design with a new shimless design that allows a player to make easy, quick micro-adjustments to dial in the string height for any situation. You don’t have to remove the neck or even the strings. 

Ideal for flatpicked lead lines, strumming, delicate fingerpicking and everything in between, this Grand Auditorium acoustic-electric boasts a versatile character that translates beautifully when amplified through the Claria Pickup System. Developed with extensive input from touring artists and live sound engineers, the Claria reimagines the under-saddle piezo pickup to deliver consistent plug-and-play acoustic tone in any setting. A deluxe hardshell case keeps the 814ce safe wherever you take it.
