V-Class bracing unlocks the 914ce's exceptionally resonant voice and intonation accuracy.
With the 914ce Builder's Edition, Taylor has crafted an acoustic-electric guitar that produces a tone as stunning as its refined aesthetics. Featuring a resonant Lutz spruce top and Indian rosewood back and sides, this Grand Auditorium guitar sings with rich, shimmering detail across the tonal spectrum. Taylor's revolutionary V-Class bracing optimizes the guitar's sonic response, creating louder volume, purer pitch and longer sustain so every note rings out clearly. Comfort-enhancing touches like a sculpted armrest, chamfered edges and a contoured bridge make playing a joy. Visually, the 914ce is a work of art with Hawaiian koa and abalone accents, a Kona edgeburst and mother-of-pearl fingerboard inlays.
Resonant Tonewoods Generate a Full Voice
The lightweight yet durable Lutz spruce top pumps out robust treble tones with chime-like clarity. When paired with resonant Indian rosewood back and sides, you get a lush and balanced voice with rich bass, warm mids and crystalline highs. The tone is highly articulate, with enough projection to fill a room. From fingerpicking to flatpicking, the 914ce handles any playing style with finesse.
V-Class Bracing Unlocks the Guitar's Potential
Taylor's groundbreaking V-Class bracing reimagines how an acoustic guitar can perform. It boosts volume, enhances sustain and improves intonation for a more musical experience. Notes ring true all across the fingerboard, with harmonics cascading evenly to the body's edges. Strum a chord and it blooms with shimmering detail as individual notes blend into a cohesive whole. V-Class bracing helps the 914ce sing with a high-fidelity voice that inspires your musical creativity.
Play in Comfort Thanks to Ergonomic Touches
While the 914ce produces world-class tone, it's also designed for playing ease and comfort. The beveled armrest and cutaway provide unimpeded access to the upper frets. Rounded body edges and a contoured bridge feel smooth against your picking arm. The slim mahogany neck has a fast profile for nimble fretting. Whether practicing for hours or performing on stage, the 914ce keeps you comfortable so you can focus on making music.
Plug in for Stage-Ready Performance
The 914ce Builder's Edition comes equipped with Taylor's Expression System 2 electronics, which include three uniquely positioned pickup sensors. When plugged in, the guitar conveys the nuances of your playing style with exceptional clarity and balance. The ES2 preamp has an intuitive control layout, with knobs for volume, treble and bass. For live performance, the 914ce Builder's Edition delivers a studio-quality acoustic tone that cuts through the mix.
A Masterpiece of Form and Function
Visually, the 914ce Builder's Edition is a work of art, with Hawaiian koa and paua shell purfling, a single-ring paua rosette, an ebony backstrap and Gotoh 510 tuners with antique gold hardware. A beveled armrest and cutaway provide playing comfort, while body chamfers and a contoured bridge create an elegant profile. For the discerning guitarist, the Taylor 914ce Builder's Edition represents the pinnacle of premium acoustic guitar design and tone. Visit your local Guitar Center today to experience this masterpiece for yourself.
