A resonant acoustic-electric with elegant appointments for inspired performance.

The Taylor 814ce Grand Auditorium acoustic-electric guitar lets you craft a stunning range of tones. Upgraded with a solid Adirondack spruce top, plus solid Indian rosewood back and sides and innovative V-Class bracing, this 814ce produces rich, complex sound with articulate highs, warm lows and resonant mids. The Grand Auditorium body shape provides balanced volume and projection, ideal for both fingerpicking and strumming. The sleek mahogany neck has a fast-playing profile and ebony fingerboard for smooth transitions between chords and single notes.

V-Class Bracing Unlocks the Potential of Premium Tonewoods

Taylor's groundbreaking V-Class bracing opens up the 814ce's body, allowing its spruce top and rosewood back and sides to vibrate freely. You'll experience sustain that seems to last forever, full-bodied tone with shimmering highs and chords that ring true. The bracing also makes the 814ce incredibly responsive, translating your lightest touch or most energetic strum into rich, nuanced sound.

Cutting-Edge Electronics Deliver Your Acoustic Tone

The 814ce features Taylor's ES-2 electronics, which capture your guitar's natural tone and playing dynamics. Behind-the-saddle transducers pick up string vibration, while preamp EQ controls let you shape highs and lows. An onboard phase switch helps eliminate feedback. You'll get faithful reproduction of your acoustic tone in any live or studio setting.

Premium Appointments and Playability

As Taylor's flagship rosewood/spruce model, the 814ce boasts premium components from top to bottom. You'll appreciate the guitar's glossy finish, elegant binding and abalone rosette. The ebony fingerboard has silky smooth edges and the neck features a comfortable satin finish. Taylor smoked nickel tuners keep your strings in tune, while the Micarta "Wave" saddle provides ideal string spacing. A deluxe hardshell case protects your investment. Overall, the Taylor 814ce acoustic-electric guitar delivers an unparalleled playing experience for the discerning musician.
