Taylor Builders Edition 814ce Honduran Rosewood / Adirondack Spruce

This is what Taylor Guitars say about the Builders Edition 814ce:

Blending player-centric comfort with premium tonewoods and refined aesthetics, the Builder’s Edition 814ce marks a bold new chapter in the evolution of Taylor’s flagship guitar. This Grand Auditorium acoustic-electric elevates a classic tonewood combination—Honduran rosewood and Adirondack spruce—offering rich low-end warmth, crisp treble detail, and enhanced harmonic depth and headroom. The result is a dynamic, textured voice with lush overtones, exceptional sustain, and clarity that holds up even under aggressive playing styles.

Thoughtfully designed Builder’s Edition features include chamfered edges, a beveled armrest and cutaway, and the sleek Curve Wing bridge, all contributing to a playing experience that’s as comfortable as it is inspiring. Taylor’s signature easy-playing neck further enhances its playability, making it an ideal instrument for a wide range of styles and settings.

High-end appointments complete the package, including elegant Element fretboard inlays in shell and mother-of-pearl, a rosewood pickguard, Gotoh 510 antique gold tuners, and a full-body gloss finish with a Kona edgeburst on the back and sides, accented by a stunning natural top.
