A New Generation of Taylor Tone
Meet the next evolution of a modern classic. This limited edition Taylor 814ce isn’t just a guitar; it’s a statement, combining Taylor’s legendary playability with a host of player-focused innovations and a stunning, unique aesthetic. The Casablanca Beige top gives it a look that’s both vintage-inspired and completely contemporary, a perfect match for the rich, complex voice held within its Grand Auditorium body. From the first strum, you’ll feel the resonance and power of the classic Indian Rosewood and Spruce pairing, brought to life by Taylor’s revolutionary V-Class bracing. This is a workhorse guitar that looks, feels, and sounds like a treasured heirloom.
Timeless Woods, Evolved Bracing
The heart of this 814ce’s voice comes from its solid Spruce top and solid Indian Rosewood back and sides. This combination is beloved for a reason: it delivers a full-spectrum tone with deep, piano-like lows, a slightly scooped midrange, and shimmering, articulate highs. Driving that top is Taylor’s Scalloped V-Class bracing with a special relief rout, a system that dials up the volume and sustain while perfecting the intonation. Chords bloom with incredible richness, and single notes sing with clarity and purpose. The addition of a radiused Indian Rosewood armrest makes for an incredibly comfortable playing experience, whether you’re on stage for hours or just relaxing on the couch.
The Claria Pickup System
Capturing the guitar’s natural acoustic voice is the all-new Claria Acoustic Pickup System. This system was crafted for ultimate reliability and sonic purity, delivering a clear, natural sound that’s incredibly versatile. With discreetly placed controls for Volume, Mid Contour, and Tone, you can easily shape your sound on the fly. Go from old-school lo-fi warmth to pristine, modern detail and everything in between, all while retaining the organic character of this incredible instrument. It’s a fuller, more powerful plugged-in sound that truly complements the guitar’s acoustic properties.
Unmistakable Taylor Feel
Beyond the tone, this guitar delivers the buttery, effortless playability that put Taylor on the map. The Neo-Tropical Mahogany neck features Taylor’s Standard profile, a comfortable shape that feels right at home for any playing style. The West African Crelicam Ebony fretboard provides a glassy-smooth playing surface, adorned with elegant Mother of Pearl ‘Element’ inlays. With a satin neck finish for friction-free movement and a gloss body to show off the tonewoods, every detail is crafted for an inspiring, premium experience.
