Here, we're thrilled to present the next evolution of this classic model: the Builder's Edition 814ce. For this version, we've kept the solid Indian rosewood back and sides and paired them with a four-piece Adirondack spruce top, a combo that yields an enticing blend of low-end warmth, treble-range clarity and remarkable power, with our V-Class bracing inside to draw out more of the blooming overtones and rich sustain that players love. A handful of comfort-focused enhancements, such as a beveled armrest and cutaway and a subtle body taper, elevate the relaxed, accommodating feel of the Grand Auditorium body, while a striking full-body gloss finish and Kona burst for the back and sides raise this model's visual profile. Whether you're looking for an all-purpose musical workhorse or an heirloom-quality guitar to augment your collection, the Builder's Edition 814ce makes a compelling case as the most quintessentially "Taylor" guitar we've ever built.SpecificationsHighlights Scale Length: 25-1/2" Bracing: V-Class Bracing Pickguard: Indian Rosewood Tuners: Gotoh Strings: D'Addario XS Coated Phosphor Bronze Light (.012 - .053) Body Width: 16" Nut & Saddle: Tusq Nut, Micarta Saddle Truss Rod Cover: West African Crelicam Ebony Number of Frets: 20 Case: Taylor Deluxe Hardshell Brown Body Length: 20" Body Depth: 4 5/8" Body Back Config: 2-piece No Wedge Rosette Size: Single Ring Back/Side Finish: Gloss Top Finish: Gloss Backstrap Finish: None Bridge Inlay: None Rosette Material: Shell, Green Abalone Wedge: None Neck Neck Width: 1-3/4" Fretboard Binding/Edge Treatment: West African Crelicam Ebony Type of Neck Joint: Scarf Fretboard Wood: West African Crelicam Ebony Fretboard Inlay: Element Heel Cap Binding: West African Crelicam Ebony Neck/Heel: Neo-Tropical Mahogany Neck Finish: Satin Peghead Finish: Satin Peghead Type: Paddle, Standard Headstock Overlay: West African Crelicam Ebony Peghead Logo: Taylor Mother of Pearl Peghead Binding: West African Crelicam Ebony Peghead Inlay: Element Other Bridge Pins: West African Ebony with Green Abalone Dots Fingerboard Ext: None Buttons: Antique Gold
