Exceptional 2015 Taylor 814ce LTD featuring genuine Brazilian Rosewood back and sides paired with a Sitka Spruce top and Taylor’s highly regarded pre-V-Class X-bracing platform.


This instrument represents one of the more desirable modern Brazilian Taylor LTD configurations from the Andy Powers redesign era before V-Class bracing entered production.


Accompanied by:
• Official Taylor factory specification sheet
• Taylor verification correspondence
• Original Taylor deluxe brown hardshell case
• CITES-compliant Brazilian Rosewood documentation


Taylor confirmed this guitar originally carried an $8,000 MSRP when new in 2015.


Tone profile:
• Deep piano-like bass response
• Rich overtone bloom
• Exceptional note separation
• Sweet articulate trebles
• Warm dynamic response
• Fast, responsive attack


The Brazilian Rosewood set on this guitar is visually striking with dramatic grain contrast and strong figuring throughout.


Important Disclosure / Factory Service History:


This guitar previously sustained shipping-related top and side cracking and was professionally evaluated and repaired through the Taylor factory service department in El Cajon, California. The picture of the bottom right bout shows the small mark left from the repair.


Per Taylor’s written assessment:
“The sound of the guitar will not be affected by the damage or repairs.”


Taylor additionally performed their Revive service package including:
• Neck angle adjustment
• Nut replacement
• Saddle replacement
• Fret dressing
• Full setup and playability optimization


The guitar is structurally sound, stable, and plays exceptionally well.


This listing is intentionally represented accurately and transparently for sophisticated buyers seeking collector-grade Brazilian Taylor instruments with documented provenance and factory-backed service history.


Condition:
Very clean overall with minimal signs of careful ownership. Professionally maintained in a humidity-controlled Southern California environment.
