A limited-run acoustic celebrating Taylor's 50th anniversary, with lush tonewoods and revolutionized bracing.
The Taylor 814ce Custom 50th Anniversary Builder's Edition grand auditorium acoustic-electric guitar commemorates five decades of Taylor Guitars' craftsmanship. Combining premium Indian rosewood back and sides with a sinker redwood top, this limited-edition guitar produces a colorful sonic palette that is rich, expressive and inspiring. The sinker redwood top provides a warm, balanced tone with remarkable projection, while the rosewood back and sides yield a full range of tones from sparkling highs to throaty lows. Together, these prized tonewoods are enhanced by Taylor's groundbreaking V-Class bracing for a level of tonal sophistication that will satisfy even the most discerning player.
Hand-selected Tonewoods and Unparalleled Craftsmanship
As Taylor's flagship Grand Auditorium model, the 814ce offers an ideal blend of size, shape and tone that appeals to a wide range of playing styles. The hand-selected tonewoods and meticulous construction demonstrate Taylor's commitment to excellence on their 50th anniversary. From the elegant shaded edgeburst and Kona edgeburst finish to the abalone rosette and rosewood binding, every detail of this guitar reflects master-level craftsmanship.
V-Class Bracing Unlocks the Guitar's Potential
Taylor's revolutionary V-Class bracing is a pivotal innovation in acoustic guitar design. It turbocharges the 814ce's sonic performance by boosting volume, sustain and harmonic richness. Notes ring out boldly and decay gracefully. Chords shimmer with complex overtones. Whether fingerpicking, strumming or flatpicking, the 814ce responds with a clear, balanced voice across the tonal spectrum thanks to this bracing architecture.
Playability and Comfort Redefined With Beveled Armrest
The 814ce is engineered for an unparalleled playing experience. A beveled armrest, beveled cutaway and chamfered body edges provide hours of comfort. The ebony bridge pins, TUSQ nut and Micarta saddle optimize string spacing and height for fast, accurate fingering. Together with the smooth mahogany neck, radiused ebony fingerboard and 25.5" scale length, the 814ce feels familiar and inspiring in your hands.
Quality ES2 Pickup for Plugged-In Performance
With Taylor's ES2 electronics onboard, the 814ce delivers a stunning amplified acoustic sound. Sculpt your tone with simple bass and treble controls or connect to an acoustic amplifier or PA system for an immersive live performance experience. The ES2 system accurately conveys the guitar's full, complex voice for inspiring sound in any venue.
