Adirondack spruce and scalloped V-Class bracing

For a maximum sound experience, the manufacturer uses Adirondack spruce for the top construction, which produces a brilliant sound. Supported by the innovative Scalloped V-Class Bracing, the top is set into a two-dimensional vibration with every strike, which means that every note can develop quickly and sustainably in all registers. This phenomenon is further enhanced by a wafer-thin finish and lightweight construction, making the Builder's Edition 814ce Next Generation suitable for fingerstyle and expressive strumming. With its shaded edge Burst finish, the top wood is perfectly accentuated and contrasts tastefully with the other materials of the body. Matched to the fine inlays and the high-quality single-ring soundhole rosette, the top is equipped with a generous rosewood pickguard that gives the instrument an individual touch.

Rosewood for additional saturation

To enrich the sound with rich bass frequencies and the necessary volume, the back and sides are made from rough-grained rosewood . The fine tropical wood also provides an almost attack and allows the individual notes to decay for a long time in the overtones. The thin varnish also plays a decisive role in the back and sides, as it allows the sound to develop perfectly even with the lightest of touches. The medium-sized Grand Auditorium design thus turns out to be a true all-rounder that can be used in many areas and is comfortable to hold.

An incomparable playing comfort

For particularly accommodating playability, Taylor relies on a flat mahogany neck construction with an ebony fingerboard, which, in combination with a nut width of 44.45 mm , can be gripped perfectly and cleanly in all 20 frets. Made from black GraphTech TUSQ, the nut is perfectly matched to the Micarta bridge inlay so that the 814ce intonates perfectly over the entire 647.7 mm scale length. The characteristic headstock is fitted with Gotoh 510 tuners in Antique gold, which guarantee precise tuning and also perfectly match the elaborate Element fretboard inlays. Further highlights are the beveled Cutaway and an armrest for a particularly comfortable playing experience.

Taylor Claria

The newly developed Taylor Claria pickup system is a real innovation. It combines high-quality piezo technology with a particularly user-friendly preamp and thus offers professional conditions for amplified use of the guitar. The sound always remains clear, balanced and natural and can be individually adjusted in just a few simple steps. Thanks to the controls discreetly integrated into the sound hole, the look of the guitar is completely retained. The elegant, minimalist design is not compromised and the focus remains on the harmonious overall aesthetics of the instrument.
