***This Builder’s Edition 814ce is being sold as a showroom model and is priced accordingly. There are two very small cosmetic flaws in the finish on the body of the instrument (one under the cutaway on the side and one on the bottom corner of the top - lease see photos for details). This is a brand new Taylor, has never been owned, and will come with a full manufacturer's warranty and will be set up by our in-house luthiers before shipping. Great opportunity to score an awesome Builder’s Edition Taylor with no miles for less*** Â
Brand new Builder's Edition 814ce. These guitars take Taylor's 8 Series one step further with an Adirondack spruce top and an ultra comfortable beveled arm rest (a welcome addition for many players). We love talking Taylor Guitars, please reach out to us with any questions!Â
From Taylor:
The 814ce has long been considered Taylor's flagship acoustic-electric guitar thanks to its mix of lush tone, playing comfort and all-purpose musical appeal. Here, we're thrilled to present the next evolution of this classic model: the Builder's Edition 814ce. For this version, we've kept the solid Indian rosewood back and sides and paired them with a four-piece Adirondack spruce top, a combo that yields an enticing blend of low-end warmth, treble-range clarity and remarkable power, with our V-Class bracing inside to draw out more of the blooming overtones and rich sustain that players love. A handful of comfort-focused enhancements, such as a beveled armrest and cutaway and a subtle body taper, elevate the relaxed, accommodating feel of the Grand Auditorium body, while a striking full-body gloss finish and Kona burst for the back and sides raise this model's visual profile. Whether you're looking for an all-purpose musical workhorse or an heirloom-quality guitar to augment your collection, the Builder's Edition 814ce makes a compelling case as the most quintessentially "Taylor" guitar we've ever built.
