Taylor 814ce, Next Generation Electro Acoustic Guitar, Grand Auditorium

The Taylor 814ce Next Generation Electro Acoustic Guitar Grand Auditorium represents the pinnacle of modern acoustic craftsmanship — a guitar engineered for players who expect exceptional tone, flawless responsiveness, and timeless elegance. Combining solid Indian rosewood back and sides with a beautifully voiced Sitka spruce top, the 814ce produces a rich, orchestral sound filled with shimmering highs, warm mids, and deep, piano-like lows.

Built with Taylor’s groundbreaking V-Class bracing, this next-generation Grand Auditorium offers enhanced sustain, superior intonation, and remarkable harmonic consistency across the entire fretboard. Every note rings with clarity and precision, whether you’re performing delicate fingerstyle arrangements or commanding a full acoustic mix with powerful strumming.

The 814ce’s refined aesthetic is equally captivating, featuring elegant appointments, smooth contours, and a luxurious natural finish that showcases the beauty of its premium tonewoods. Its effortless playability and ergonomic design make it an inspiring companion for long studio sessions, live performances, and everyday creativity alike.

Equipped with Taylor’s Expression System® 2 electronics, the 814ce faithfully translates its dynamic acoustic voice to any stage or recording environment with stunning authenticity. Sophisticated, versatile, and unmistakably premium, the Taylor 814ce is more than an acoustic guitar — it’s a statement instrument built for musicians who want every performance to feel extraordinary.

• Long-Tenon Action Control Neck -The long-tenon neck joint improves the neck-to-body connection, adding warmth and depth to the guitar’s voice. At the same time, the Action Control feature makes adjusting string height quicker and more precise than ever — no need to remove strings or the neck. Players can dial in their preferred setup in seconds and adapt on the fly to changing styles or shifting climate conditions. It’s the ultimate fusion of tone, stability and setup convenience.
• Scalloped V-Class Bracing - The latest evolution of Taylor’s V-Class bracing introduces a scalloped profile that unlocks a warmer low end and richer open-string resonance, while preserving the balance, pitch accuracy and projection that define V-Class. The guitars are now seasoned with a touch of low-end depth that adds more fullness to the voice.
• Claria System Acoustic Electronics - Developed with extensive input from touring artists and live sound engineers, Taylor’s new Claria System reimagines the under-saddle piezo pickup to deliver consistent plug-and-play acoustic tone in any setting. A proprietary preamp tames the harshness of traditional piezos and incorporates soundhole-mounted controls: Volume, Tone and a versatile Mid-Contour knob. The result is a consistent, stage-ready tone that’s easy to shape for any setting — from solo café gigs to large-venue performances.
