Taylor Builder's Edition 814ce Honduran Rosewood / Sinker Redwood

The Taylor Builder's Edition 814ce is a true work of art, designed for those seeking a unique sound experience and unparalleled craftsmanship. With its ergonomic design and the highest quality materials, this guitar represents a significant advancement in the evolution of the Builder's Edition series.

The solid Honduras rosewood used for the back and sides is an extraordinary wood that offers a perfect combination of warmth, definition, and tonal richness. This premium wood, typically reserved for custom instruments, brings an innovative tone and refined aesthetics to a guitar intended for a broader audience of musicians.

The solid Sinker Redwood top, a rare wood salvaged from submerged logs, produces a rich and deep sound, with a dynamic response that develops and improves over time.

The V-Class bracing, designed by master luthier Andy Powers, further optimizes the guitar's structure, enhancing projection and sustain without compromising natural resonance, endowing the instrument with incredible responsiveness.

Finally, the electronics feature the Taylor Expression System 2, representing the latest evolutionary step in Taylor electronics. The sensor is not positioned like traditional piezo pickups under the bridge; instead, it is placed on the side, thereby reducing the load on the bridge itself, allowing for greater sound dynamics and providing the ability to move sections of the sound away from or closer to the bridge using the included Allen wrench.

The Builder's Edition 814ce is therefore an instrument crafted for those who seek sound perfection and a level of craftsmanship that exceeds all expectations.
