Balanced, Versatile Sound From Premium Tonewoods

The 814ce features premium solid Sitka spruce on top with Indian rosewood back and sides. This pairing produces a balanced, versatile tone perfect for fingerstyle playing or flat-picked strumming. The Sitka spruce offers strength and crispness, while the rosewood provides complexity and sustain. Together, they create a voice that encompasses sparkling highs, deep lows and a slightly scooped midrange. As these woods age, their sound only gets better and better—this is an heirloom instrument built to be treasured for generations.

Easy-Playing Grand Auditorium Body

Taylor is renowned for its Grand Auditorium body shape that gives the 814ce a bold, well-balanced voice, and unparalleled ergonomics suited for a multitude of genres and playing styles. Its comfortable contours enhance playability, while the gently sloped Venetian cutaway offers easy access to upper frets, allowing acoustic guitarists to travel up the fretboard in unrestricted ways typically only found on electrics. The premium Taylor 814ce V-Class acoustic-electric even features a rosewood armrest on its body to help you find the most natural playing position, for an effortless experience every time you pick it up.
