Taylor Next Generation Builder’s Edition 814ce - Natural with Kona Edgeburst
The "Next Generation" has arrived, and it is truly the "stuff of legend". This Builder’s Edition 814ce is a masterclass in acoustic engineering, pairing a solid Indian Rosewood body with a premium Adirondack (Red) Spruce top. While the Indian Rosewood provides a foundation of deep, full basses and brilliant trebles, the Adirondack top takes the performance to a whole new level. Known for its incredible stiffness and "velocity of sound," this spruce top projects with a clear, ringing complexity that carries right through high volume levels where other spruces might start to break up. It’s a sophisticated, nuanced tone that continues to gain character as the wood breaks in over time.
Crafted for the player who demands peak comfort and technical versatility, this Grand Auditorium features the refined contours of the Builder’s Edition series, including a beveled armrest and cutaway for a seamless feel. Whether you are flatpicking with power or exploring delicate fingerstyle arrangements, the 814ce remains clear and well-defined no matter how hard you play it. This model also introduces the revolutionary Action Control Neck, allowing for tool-free adjustments to your string height in seconds. It’s no wonder Taylor instruments are the choice of legendary artists when they need a reliable, professional-grade voice that sounds as good plugged in as it does acoustically.
