Description:
Belonging to the Builder's Edition series, a collection of instruments that represents the pinnacle of Taylor's innovation in terms of materials and design, the Builder's Edition 914ce offers a blend of ergonomic design and exceptional acoustic performance thanks to its carefully selected materials.
The solid Honduran rosewood used for the back and sides is an extraordinary wood that provides a perfect combination of warmth, definition, and rich tonal complexity. 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, an extremely rare wood reclaimed from submerged logs, delivers a warm, deep sound with a dynamic response that develops further over time, creating a rich and full tone.
The V-Class bracing, designed by master luthier Andy Powers, further optimizes the guitar's structure, enhancing projection and sustain without compromising natural resonance, giving the instrument incredible responsiveness.
Finally, the electronics incorporate the Taylor Expression System 2, representing the latest evolutionary step in Taylor electronics. The sensor is not positioned like traditional piezos under the bridge but is placed laterally, thereby reducing the load on the bridge itself, allowing for greater sound dynamics and providing the option to move sections away from or closer to the bridge using the included hex wrench.
This Builder's Edition 914ce is a masterpiece of craftsmanship, designed for those seeking a refined sound and a build quality that exceeds expectations.
