Taylor Builder's Edition 814ce Next Generation Honduran Rosewood Sinker Redwood Shaded Edgeburst with Hardshell Case

The Taylor Builder's Edition 814ce: Next Generation A Refined Voice Meets Effortless Comfort

Premium Tonewoods Honduran Rosewood and Sinker Redwood

A masterfully selected pairing of Honduran rosewood and sinker redwood, delivers a voice that is both richly complex and remarkably responsive. Honduran rosewood, a denser and harder variant than East Indian rosewood, produces a balanced tone with shimmering highs, defined lows, and a harmonically rich overtone profile. Complementing this is the sinker redwood top, offering a warmth reminiscent of cedar with exceptional sensitivity to a light touch, making it equally expressive for delicate fingerstyle and dynamic strumming.

V Class Bracing Power Clarity and Sustain

Inside, Taylor’s V Class bracing architecture elevates the instrument’s performance with increased volume, extended sustain, and improved intonation across the entire fretboard. Notes bloom with clarity and remain focused even as they ring out, creating a more tuneful and cohesive voice whether you are playing solo or in an ensemble setting. This advanced bracing system ensures that every nuance of your playing is translated with precision and musicality.

Builder's Edition Comfort Seamless Playing Experience

This Builder's Edition model is thoughtfully contoured for a truly immersive playing experience. A beveled neo tropical mahogany armrest enhances comfort for the strumming arm, while the beveled cutaway provides effortless access to the upper frets. Chamfered body edges and the smooth Curve Wing bridge further refine the tactile experience, allowing the guitar to feel like a natural extension of the player.

Elegant Appointments and Premium Craftsmanship

Visually, this instrument is as striking as it is sonically inspiring. The shaded edgeburst top and Kona edgeburst back and sides create a sophisticated aesthetic, complemented by a gloss finish that highlights the natural beauty of the woods. Mother of pearl Element inlays, a green abalone rosette, and West African Crelicam ebony appointments elevate the visual detail, while Gotoh 510 tuners with an 18 to 1 gear ratio provide precise and reliable tuning stability.

Stage Ready Performance and Versatility

Equipped with Taylor Claria electronics, this guitar is ready for both studio and stage, faithfully capturing its nuanced acoustic voice when amplified. Its Grand Auditorium body shape offers a versatile tonal platform, balancing projection, comfort, and articulation for a wide range of playing styles.
