With its refined voice, comfort-enhancing touches and premium tonewood selection, the Builder's Edition 814ce sets a new standard for player-focused design. This updated Grand Auditorium combines Adirondack spruce with Honduran rosewood to yield a richly textured response with sophisticated harmonics, warm lows and bell-like trebles, while a new scalloped variant of our V-Class interior bracing delivers even greater improvements to volume, sustain and pitch accuracy.

Thoughtful contours such as the beveled armrest, matching cutaway and rounded body edges add up to a remarkably seamless playing experience. Other updates include the Action Control Neck, which enables exceptionally easy action adjustments to dial in the perfect feel, and our new Claria electronics, which deliver beautifully authentic plugged-in tone in any scenario without the need for fine-tuning EQ. Visual details include Element fretboard inlays in shell and mother of pearl, a rosewood pickguard, Gotoh 510 tuning machines in antique gold, and a full-body gloss finish with a dusky edgeburst color treatment.
