Refined contours, classic tonewoods and a growing suite of player-focused enhancements have taken our Builder’s Edition 814ce to new heights. With back and sides of Indian rosewood, this Grand Auditorium serves up a lush blend of warm lows, clear highs and rich harmonic detail, with overtones that bloom as notes resonate. An Adirondack spruce top paired with a scalloped variant of our V-Class bracing delivers unmatched power, volume and sustain.
Further enhancing the experience are our Action Control Neck for quick, easy string height adjustments, new Claria electronics for plug-and-play utility in amplified scenarios, chamfered body edges, and a beveled armrest and cutaway. Other details include Element fretboard inlays, a Kona edgeburst for the back and sides, Gotoh 510 tuners, a full-body gloss finish, and a rosewood pickguard.

Features
Grand Auditorium - Taylor’s signature shape embodies the ultimate all-purpose acoustic.
Indian Rosewood - The tonewood superstar. Popular, traditional, and versatile, Bob Taylor puts Indian rosewood among the greatest tonewoods ever.
Action Control Neck - Building on Taylor’s legacy of easy-playing necks, the new Action Control Neck pairs a long-tenon joint for added warmth and depth with a patented system for effortless string height adjustment.
Adirondack Spruce - Known for its high volume ceiling and dynamic, lively response, Adirondack spruce retains exceptional clarity even with an aggressive attack.
Claria™ Pickup System - Developed with extensive input from touring artists and live sound engineers, Taylor’s new Claria™ System reimagines the under-saddle piezo pickup to deliver consistent plug-and-play acoustic tone in any setting.
Beveled Cutaway - Our beveled cutaway design provides a more player-friendly feel for guitarists who utilize every inch of the fretboard. It features a compound design with a smoothened edge along the corner of the body between the end of the cutaway and the neck heel, providing a more comfortable feel for the fretting hand.
