Taylor - Builder's Edition 814ce Next Generation Honduran Rosewood / Sinker Redwood + Etui

On this Builder's Edition 814ce Next Generation, the submerged redwood top develops an immediate response, with dense warmth and wide dynamics. The guitar reacts to the slightest touch, maintains constant legibility and supports fine nuances, even when your playing becomes harder or more rhythmic.

The Honduran rosewood back and sides provide remarkable harmonic depth, with extended lows and silky highs. This dense wood structures the sound spectrum, stabilising resonances and enhancing projection. On this electroacoustic guitar, every chord remains legible, even in open voicings or complex arpeggios, without overpowering the secondary harmonics.

The mahogany neck features the Action Control Neck, designed to maintain a stable, fluid tuning. The long tenon joint ensures continuous vibration transmission between the body and the neck. The touch remains supple, the left hand flows without unnecessary tension and changes of position are more natural. As a result, this Taylor guitar will sustain hours of playing with a consistent feel, even as the intensity gradually increases.

The sculpted Taylor V-Class bracing changes the way the top vibrates, simultaneously improving volume and sustain. Notes hold longer, without losing their contour, and attacks remain clean. This structure benefits both wide chords and isolated melodic lines. The 814ce retains an appreciable stability of sound throughout the neck. You'll enjoy an even response, supporting your acoustic playing as if it were amplified, without any unpleasant surprises or loss of definition.

The bevelled cutaway facilitates access to the high registers, with a smooth transition between the body and the neck. The fretted hand progresses without mechanical strain, even in extended phrases. Rounded contact zones reduce fatigue on the forearm and wrist. This design improves overall posture, especially during long sequences of standing or sitting. The Builder's Edition 814ce Next Generation guitar moves naturally with you. It adapts to your playing, without imposing a fixed position.

The Claria system built into the saddle of the 814ce produces a coherent acoustic sound when plugged in. The response remains balanced, with a precise attack and controlled bass. The settings are simple and effective, making it easy to get to grips with. This electroacoustic guitar retains its natural character, even at high volume.

Taylor's engineers set out to achieve a consistent sound, whatever the conditions. You'll find a stable sound signature, without excessive coloration. The signal gains in clarity and supports your rhythmic and melodic playing. The Builder's Edition 814ce Honduran Rosewood / Sinker Redwood Next Generation is a reliable tool, ready to accompany every nuance.
