Overview

A beautifully crafted testament to Taylor's legacy.

The Taylor 914ce Legacy Grand Auditorium acoustic-electric guitar represents the pinnacle of Taylor's craftsmanship, blending premium tonewoods, elegant aesthetics and modern performance features. Introduced as part of Taylor's Legacy Collection, this model celebrates the artistry of Bob Taylor's early designs while incorporating contemporary innovations. The solid Engelmann spruce top, paired with solid Indian rosewood back and sides, produces a vibrant tonal palette characterized by crisp highs, warm lows and a subtle midrange scoop. Its Grand Auditorium body shape, complete with a Venetian cutaway, ensures exceptional projection and balance, making it ideal for dynamic playing styles. Enhanced with Taylor's Legacy X-bracing and the LR Baggs Element VTC pickup system, this guitar delivers an immersive acoustic experience both unplugged and amplified.

Solid Engelmann Spruce and Indian Rosewood for Balanced Tone

The 914ce Legacy's solid Engelmann spruce top provides remarkable sensitivity and clarity, responding effortlessly to both delicate fingerpicking and aggressive strumming. Complementing the top, the solid Indian rosewood back and sides contribute a rich, warm low end and lush harmonic overtones. Together, these tonewoods create a dynamic sound that fills the room with bold projection and nuanced detail. The Legacy X-bracing further enhances the tonal balance, adding stability and resonance for a full-bodied acoustic voice.

Taylor Legacy Standard Carve Neck for Smooth Playability

The neo-tropical mahogany neck features Taylor's Legacy Standard Carve, offering a comfortable, ergonomic profile for players of all skill levels. Its satin finish ensures a silky, fast-playing feel, while the 1-3/4" nut width provides ample room for intricate fretting. Topped with a genuine West African ebony fingerboard, the neck facilitates effortless transitions and precision, whether you're performing complex fingerstyle pieces or barre chords. The 914ce Legacy's neck design promotes fluid playability, minimizing fatigue during extended sessions.

LR Baggs Element VTC for Warm Amplified Tone

Equipped with the LR Baggs Element VTC pickup system, the Taylor 914ce Legacy faithfully translates its acoustic character into a natural, warm amplified sound. The undersaddle pickup and onboard preamp deliver exceptional tonal accuracy, while controls for volume and tone allow for precise sound shaping. Whether performing on stage or recording in the studio, the system ensures a seamless amplified experience that retains the guitar's inherent tonal qualities.

Premium Taylor Appointments and Durable Construction

The 914ce Legacy is adorned with striking visual elements that reflect its high-end pedigree. Elegant Cindy inlays on the fretboard, headstock and bridge are paired with green abalone top purfling and a matching green abalone rosette, offering a timeless aesthetic inspired by Taylor's legacy. Rosewood binding and red-accented back and side purfling add a touch of sophistication, while the gloss finish enhances resonance and showcases the natural beauty of the wood grain. These features combine timeless elegance with durability, ensuring long-lasting performance and visual appeal.
