Taylor Builder's Edition 814ce — The Next Generation of Grand Auditorium Performance

The Builder's Edition 814ce isn't just an upgrade — it's a rethink. Taylor's most player-focused 814 yet combines premium tonewoods, cutting-edge playability engineering, and stage-ready electronics into one instrument built for serious players who refuse to compromise.

Action Control Neck — Set Your Feel, Your Way

Taylor's Action Control Neck is a game-changer for players who demand a personalized setup. Adjust string height quickly and easily without a full setup appointment — dial in low action for speed, or raise it for resonance. Your guitar, your feel.

Claria Electronics — Plug In and Perform

The new Claria pickup system delivers natural, transparent amplified tone that faithfully reproduces the acoustic character of the 814ce. Whether you're on stage or in the studio, Claria gives you plug-and-play confidence with zero compromise on sound quality.
