Taylor 814ce Grand Auditorium Acoustic/Electric Guitar
The essence of the 814ce – actually the essence of the entire Taylor Guitars playing experience, lies within the classic, tried and tested rosewood/spruce tonewood combo.
This exquisite reimagining of the flagship Taylor Grand Auditorium brings together the unmistakable soaring tones of spruce and rosewood, with extended low end and crystal clear overtones, projected with a clarity, sustain and separation true Taylor style like never before – thanks to the astonishing new V-Class bracing system – courtesy of Taylor Master Builder Any Powers.
This new development strikes the perfect balance between rigidity and resonance in the top of the guitar, by encouraging the soundboard to resonate in a more natural motion – greatly improving the way in which sound waves develop at source, spread out and interact with one another. The result – fuller sounding chords with excellent separation, and melodies that cut straight down the middle.
The sheer innate potential of a straight out of the case, tuned up, ready to play 814ce is undeniable – and now you can crystalise your ideas and be heard on a platform like never before.
