Exceptional 2016 Taylor 814ce LTD featuring genuine Brazilian Rosewood back and sides paired with a Sitka Spruce top. Includes official Taylor factory spec sheet, build verification directly from Taylor Guitars, original Taylor deluxe brown hardshell case, and CITES-compliant Brazilian Rosewood documentation.
Built 02/16/2016 during the highly regarded Andy Powers redesign era before V-Class bracing entered production. This guitar features Taylor’s Advanced Performance GA bracing with relief rout, delivering a more open, harmonically rich, and dynamically responsive voice than many standard production 814s.
Tone is exactly what players hope for from a premium Brazilian Taylor:
• Deep piano-like low end
• Rich harmonic bloom
• Exceptional note separation
• Bell-like trebles
• Fast, responsive dynamics
• Outstanding balance for both fingerstyle and flatpicking
The Brazilian Rosewood set on this guitar is visually stunning with dramatic figuring, dark chocolate grain lines, and strong contrast throughout the back and sides.
