The Taylor PS14CE is a Grand Auditorium guitar complete with a one-of-a-kind set of tonewoods: Honduran rosewood paired with sinker redwood for the top. This combination creates a powerful, full-bodied soundscape that will please any player seeking rich low end and clear trebles. The Honduran rosewood provides an immense amount of warmth and depth to the overall tone, while the sinker redwood gives it the brightness and sparkle of cedar without sacrificing volume. And since the sinker redwood has been sourced from logs submerged in California riverbeds, you can rest assured knowing that your PS14 is truly unique!
The Taylor PS14ce also features an ergonomic armrest that adds to its playing comfort, as well as stunning appointments such as an ebony backstrap with paua edge trim and super-precise Gotoh 510 tuners. Thanks to this combination of craftsmanship, tonal flexibility, and modern touches, the PS14ce is at home in both the studio and on stage alike. Whether you're playing jazz standards or rock classics, this instrument will provide all the note clarity and sonic richness you need for any performance.
Finally, let's not forget about the gorgeous aesthetic of this custom build. A striking Simons wedge graces the back of this instrument with a beautiful ebony backstrap for added visual appeal, and its simple yet elegant body shape makes it look right at home in any professional or home studio setting. With its premium tonewood selection and superior craftsmanship, you can be sure that no two instruments will ever be exactly alike, making your PS14CE truly special!
This model is a prototype featured in Taylor's Roadshows.
