The Taylor Builder’s Edition 814ce represents an elevated version of one of Taylor’s most recognizable acoustic electric models, combining premium tonewoods, refined comfort features, and Taylor’s signature balanced tonal response.

Built with solid Indian rosewood back and sides paired with a four piece Adirondack spruce top, this model delivers a rich and articulate voice with deep low end warmth, clear trebles, and impressive projection. The Adirondack spruce top adds additional headroom and dynamic range, making the guitar highly responsive across a wide variety of playing styles.

Taylor’s V-Class bracing enhances sustain, volume, and note-to-note consistency while helping draw out the blooming overtones and clarity players expect from the 814 platform.

The Grand Auditorium body shape offers exceptional versatility for fingerstyle, strumming, and flatpicking while remaining comfortable and balanced in both seated and standing positions.

Builder’s Edition comfort enhancements include:

• Beveled armrest
• Beveled cutaway
• Subtle body taper

Together, these features create a more relaxed and ergonomic playing experience during extended sessions.

The neo-tropical mahogany neck paired with a West African Crelicam ebony fretboard provides a smooth and responsive feel across the fretboard, while Element inlays and ebony appointments maintain the refined visual style of the Builder’s Edition series.

Equipped with Taylor’s Expression System 2 electronics, the Builder’s Edition 814ce delivers a natural amplified tone well suited for both stage and studio use.

Finished with a full gloss body and Kona burst back and sides, this model blends understated elegance with premium craftsmanship throughout.
