Refined contours, classic tonewoods, and a growing suite of player-focused enhancements have taken the Builder’s Edition 814ce to new heights. With back and sides of Indian rosewood, this Grand Auditorium delivers a lush blend of warm lows, clear highs, and rich harmonic detail, with overtones that bloom as notes resonate. An Adirondack spruce top paired with a scalloped variant of Taylor’s V-Class bracing provides exceptional power, volume, and sustain, offering a responsive and dynamically rich playing experience. Further enhancements include Taylor’s Action Control Neck for quick and easy string height adjustments, along with new Claria electronics for intuitive, plug-and-play performance in amplified settings. Comfort-forward design details such as chamfered body edges, a beveled armrest, and a beveled cutaway ensure long, effortless playing sessions. Additional appointments include Element fretboard inlays, a Kona edgeburst finish on the back and sides, Gotoh 510 tuning machines, a full-body gloss finish, and a rosewood pickguard, completing a refined acoustic-electric that balances premium tone, comfort, and modern functionality.
