2023 Taylor Builder's Edition 814ce — Grand Auditorium Acoustic-Electric (Natural, USA-Made)

Taylor's flagship Builder's Edition 814ce, handcrafted in El Cajon, California (built March 2023). The Grand Auditorium is Taylor's most versatile body shape, balanced across fingerstyle and strumming, and the Builder's Edition adds the full premium comfort package: beveled armrest, sculpted cutaway, chamfered body edges, and rolled fretboard edges.

Specs:

  • Solid 4-piece Adirondack spruce top (a Builder's Edition exclusive — powerful, articulate, with huge dynamic range)
  • Solid Indian rosewood back and sides, gloss finish with Kona edgeburst
  • V-Class bracing for more volume, sustain, and improved intonation
  • Ebony Curve Wing bridge (Builder's Edition exclusive) and ebony fretboard
  • ES2 (Expression System 2) electronics — plugs in clean and natural
  • Gotoh 510 tuners in antique gold, 21:1 ratio
  • 25-1/2" scale, 1-3/4" nut, full gloss finish
  • Mahogany neck, abalone rosette, rosewood pickguard

Condition — Excellent: Clean and very well cared for. The top and back/sides show no dings, cracks, or pickwear. The only cosmetic note is light plating wear on the gold tuner buttons from normal play (pictured). Plays and sounds exactly as it should, fully functional acoustically and plugged in. Smoke-free, pet-free home.

Modification: Upgraded brass bridge pins (with red dot) are installed in place of the stock pins — a popular tone and aesthetic upgrade.

Includes: Original Taylor deluxe brown hardshell case and case candy. New price: $4,499.
