Taylor Builder's Edition 814ce Next Generation Honduran RW / Adirondack Shaded Edgeburst

This Builder’s Edition 814ce pairs Adirondack spruce with Honduran rosewood for a powerful, articulate voice with impressive headroom and dynamic range. The Adirondack top brings clarity, projection, and responsiveness, while Honduran rosewood adds depth, warmth, and complex overtones across the frequency spectrum.

Taylor’s scalloped V-Class bracing enhances sustain, volume, and pitch accuracy, while the Action Control Neck allows for quick, precise adjustments to dial in feel and playability. Comfort-driven details like the beveled armrest, chamfered edges, and beveled cutaway make this a smooth, effortless instrument to play. The Claria pickup system delivers a natural, transparent amplified tone that translates well in any performance setting.
