Blending exceptional comfort, premium tonewoods, and eye-catching design elements, the Builder's Edition 814ce marks a new chapter in the evolution of Taylor’s flagship model. This Grand Auditorium acoustic-electric elevates a classic wood combination—Honduran rosewood and Adirondack spruce—offering deep low-end warmth, crisp treble, and enhanced harmonic richness with greater headroom. The result is a vibrant, multi-dimensional sound that retains clarity even under a powerful attack, producing lush overtones and remarkable sustain.
Thoughtfully designed for the player, this Builder’s Edition features chamfered body edges, a beveled armrest and cutaway, and Taylor’s sleek Curve Wing bridge. Paired with Taylor’s signature smooth-playing neck, the guitar delivers a supremely comfortable and inspiring playing experience. High-end appointments include Element fretboard inlays in shell and mother-of-pearl, a rosewood pickguard, Gotoh 510 antique gold tuners, and a full-body gloss finish featuring a Kona edgeburst on the back and sides, with a matching burst on the top.
This meticulously crafted Builder’s Edition model expands on the rich legacy of Taylor’s 800 Series, offering an unparalleled blend of playability and distinctive acoustic character. Featuring Honduran rosewood—a denser, harder variety of the species commonly used for our flagship model’s back and sides—this guitar delivers a beautifully balanced response with a harmonically rich overtone spectrum.
Inside, Taylor’s patented V-Class bracing architecture boosts volume, extends sustain, and enhances tuning stability across the fretboard. Thoughtfully designed for comfort, this model includes a beveled mahogany armrest for effortless strumming and a beveled cutaway that allows easy access to higher frets. Chamfered body edges and a sleek Curve Wing bridge further enhance the playing experience, creating an intimate connection between player and instrument.
Additional premium features include Gotoh 510 tuning machines with an ultra-precise 18:1 gear ratio, elegant Element fretboard inlays in shell and mother-of-pearl, and a high-gloss finish with a shaded edgeburst treatment.
