Folk Electro Acoustic Guitar

The Taylor Builder’s Edition 914ce, born under the Californian sun of El Cajon, is an obvious choice for lovers of acoustic refinement. Between its delicately sculpted curves and exceptional materials, this Grand Auditorium combines elegance and ingenuity. With a solid redwood top (Sinker Redwood) and a body in Honduran Rosewood, it promises a sound that is both warm and detailed. Its Expression System 2, combined with the V-Class bracing, broadens its dynamic range and refines intonation. To perfect the experience, the ergonomic chamfers, the beveled cutaway and the beveled arm rest transform each note into a fluid caress.

In the world of acoustic guitars, some are simply beautiful. Others, like the Builder’s Edition 914ce, strive to push the boundaries of what’s possible. Born from Taylor’s expertise, this creation combines carefully selected woods with a design that meets comfort and performance. Honduran Rosewood, prized for its density and harmonic richness, gives the instrument a broad and nuanced sound response, with deep bass and crystal-clear treble. Topped with a Sinker Redwood top, whose properties are halfway between cedar and spruce, the whole reveals a sound palette that is both sensitive to the touch and capable of reaching peaks of power.

Behind its sophisticated lines, this 914ce embodies game-changing advances. Its V-Class bracing, designed to optimize volume, projection and accuracy of notes, transcends traditional standards. Each chord becomes more resonant, each note is integrated into a perfect harmonic balance. And because an exceptional guitar deserves an amplifier that lives up to it, the Expression System 2 makes sure to faithfully transcribe every nuance of the playing. A piezo sensor placed behind the bridge saddle captures the very essence of the vibration, offering a natural and expressive rendering, whether gently caressing the strings or attacking with energy.

Behind the elegance lies a goldsmith's work designed for the musician. No more abrupt angles and sharp edges: the rounded chamfers, the beveled arm rest and the beveled cutaway ensure perfect ergonomics, ideal for long hours of playing. Access to the treble is smooth, while the feeling of softness under the arm transforms each session into an absolute immersion. Add to that Gotoh 510 tuners for impeccable tuning stability and a Taylor Deluxe Hardshell Brown Case, and you have more than just an instrument: a work of art ready to resonate with every breath.
