Taylor Next Generation Builder's Edition 814ce Honduran Rosewood/Sinker Redwood (083)

Thoughtfully contoured with player-focused design elements and crafted with exceptional tonewoods, this Builder's Edition 814ce takes our flagship Grand Auditorium to new heights of sound and feel. A beautiful sinker redwood top paired with back and sides of Honduran rosewood deliver rich overtones and stunning low-end presence, all with improved power and sustain from a new scalloped variant of our V-Class bracing architecture. Thanks to the new Action Control Neck, players can dial in the perfect feel for any playing style in minutes, while our Claria pickup and preamp produce remarkably faithful, adaptable amplified tone for all scenarios without the need for significant fine-tuning. Chamfered body edges, a Curve Wing bridge, and a beveled armrest and cutaway add up to unmatched playing comfort, while Gotoh 510 tuners in antique gold, Element fretboard inlays in shell ad mother of pearl, and a glossy shaded edgeburst finish round out the package.
