Rare Taylor 814-B “Legends of the Fall” Brazilian Rosewood model featuring genuine Brazilian Rosewood back and sides paired with a premium spruce top in one of Taylor’s most desirable earlier collector configurations.

Unlike later stage-oriented production models, the 814-B represents a more traditional pure acoustic Taylor voice:

warm, open, resonant, and highly musical.


Tone profile:

• Mature opened-up response

• Rich harmonic bloom

• Deep piano-like bass

• Exceptional sustain

• Sweet articulate highs

• Powerful pure acoustic character


One of the most attractive qualities of these earlier Brazilian Taylor instruments is how naturally and organically they mature over time. This guitar has developed a wonderfully open and expressive voice.


Important disclosure:

The back and sides were professionally refinished by the Taylor factory service department in El Cajon following finish lifting that had developed over time.

This was factory-authorized Taylor work — not a third-party refinish — and the guitar presents beautifully.

The instrument has been carefully maintained in a humidity-controlled environment and remains an excellent collector-owned example.

Specifications:

• Genuine Brazilian Rosewood back & sides

• Premium spruce top

• Grand Auditorium body

• Pure acoustic configuration

• Ebony fretboard & bridge

• Original Taylor hardshell case included

Condition:

Collector-owned and humidity controlled in Southern California.
