Taylor 814ce Grand Auditorium

Classic Taylor 814ce with innovative V-Class Bracing

Widely known as an industry standard, the Taylor 800 Series acoustic is aesthetically impressive and sonically breathtaking.  The Taylor 814ce, a Grand Auditorium body with Taylor’s V-Class bracing, extenuates these qualities with premium appointments and the expert pairing of a Sitka Spruce top and Indian Rosewood back and sides.  Now with the new V-Class bracing system, sustain has never been as robust and it shows in the detailed overtones and expressive range.

Thoughtful appointments and unique

The Taylor 814ce is a combination of appointments that are thoughtful and subtle.  The abalone rosette is edged with rosewood for an intricate yet natural look.  The West African Ebony fretboard has beautiful mother of pearl inlays in Taylor’s ‘Element’ style.  These unique add-ons paired with Taylor standards such as the Venetian cutaway and the Taylor Expression System 2 make an acoustic guitar that is a capstone to any collection.

Sitka Spruce & Rosewood pairing

A classic pairing of tone woods, the Sitka Spruce and Indian Rosewood are the perfect complement to a thoughtful guitar.  The Sitka Spruce top is a favorite among builders as its strong, has a beautiful even tone and blossoms over time.  The Indian Rosewood back and sides pair nicely with Sitka spruce as it also has a wide tonal range, giving deep reach lows and a sparkling high end.  The two together give the Taylor 814ce a warm yet balanced tone that can only grow stronger over time.
