acoustic-electric guitar designed for players who want uncompromising tone, luxurious comfort, and world-class craftsmanship in one inspiring instrument. Built around Taylor’s iconic Grand Auditorium body shape, this flagship Builder’s Edition model delivers remarkable balance and articulation while introducing a richer, more mature tonal character thanks to its premium tonewood pairing. The sinker redwood top responds with incredible warmth, sensitivity, and dynamic range, while the Honduran rosewood back and sides add deep low-end presence, lush harmonic detail, and piano-like clarity across the entire fretboard. \u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv role=\"button\" class=\"group my-4 block w-full cursor-pointer text-start\" tabindex=\"0\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInside the body, a scalloped evolution of Taylor’s V-Class bracing architecture increases overall output, sustain and harmonic cohesion across the fretboard. Player-focused upgrades include Taylor’s Action Control Neck, which allows precise setup adjustments without removing the neck, and the Claria pickup system, delivering natural, dependable amplified tone with minimal tweaking required. Chamfered body edges, a beveled armrest and cutaway, and a smooth satin finish complete an acoustic-electric designed for comfort, reliability and expressive performance in real-world playing situations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMahogany and sapele for focused, musical warmth\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe combination of a solid mahogany top with sapele back and sides creates a voice centred around strong fundamentals, punchy mids and tightly controlled harmonic content. Mahogany contributes a dry, woody character with excellent note separation, while sapele adds projection and clarity without introducing excessive brightness. Together, they form a balanced tonal foundation that responds evenly to changes in attack, making this guitar equally comfortable handling intricate fingerstyle passages, rhythmic strumming patterns and melodic single-note work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eScalloped V-Class bracing for power and balance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis Next Generation model features a scalloped version of Taylor’s V-Class bracing, designed to increase air movement within the body while retaining the pitch accuracy and note definition V-Class is known for. Chords sound fuller and more unified, single notes sustain longer, and complex voicings remain clear even higher up the neck. The result is a warmer, more open sound that still preserves balance, articulation and consistency across the entire fretboard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBuilder’s Edition comfort enhancements\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery Builder’s Edition refinement is aimed at reducing physical strain and encouraging longer, more relaxed playing sessions. Chamfered body edges soften contact points around the top and back, while the bevelled neo-tropical mahogany armrest provides a natural resting position for the picking arm. The bevelled cutaway features a smooth compound contour that improves upper-fret access without sharp transitions, making extended fretboard exploration feel fluid, comfortable and unobstructed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAction Control Neck and Claria electronics\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTaylor’s Action Control Neck allows accurate string-height adjustment without removing the neck or loosening strings, making seasonal setup changes quick, precise and stress-free. The Claria pickup system delivers clear, consistent amplified tone that closely reflects the guitar’s natural acoustic character, with intuitive soundhole-mounted controls for fast adjustment on stage or in the studio. A Taylor deluxe hardshell case completes a package designed for dependable performance at home, on the road or under stage lights.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eProduct Name:\u003c\/b\u003e Taylor Builder’s Edition 324ce Next Generation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eProduct Code:\u003c\/b\u003e A318002618403021259\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBody\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eBody shape:\u003c\/b\u003e Grand Auditorium\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eTop wood:\u003c\/b\u003e Neo-tropical mahogany\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eBack \u0026amp; sides:\u003c\/b\u003e Sapele\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eBracing:\u003c\/b\u003e Scalloped V-Class with relief rout\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eFinish:\u003c\/b\u003e Satin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eArmrest:\u003c\/b\u003e Beveled neo-tropical mahogany\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eCutaway:\u003c\/b\u003e Beveled\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eNeck \u0026amp; fretboard\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eNeck wood:\u003c\/b\u003e Neo-tropical mahogany\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eNeck profile:\u003c\/b\u003e Standard carve\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eFretboard:\u003c\/b\u003e West African Crelicam ebony\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eInlays:\u003c\/b\u003e Grained ivoroid Weathervane\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eNut width:\u003c\/b\u003e 1 3\/4\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eScale length:\u003c\/b\u003e 25 1\/2\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHardware \u0026amp; electronics\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eBridge:\u003c\/b\u003e West African Crelicam ebony\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eNut \u0026amp; saddle:\u003c\/b\u003e Black Tusq nut, white Micarta saddle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eTuners:\u003c\/b\u003e Taylor satin black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eElectronics:\u003c\/b\u003e Claria pickup system\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eStrings:\u003c\/b\u003e D’Addario XS Phosphor Bronze Light (.012–.053)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eCase:\u003c\/b\u003e Taylor deluxe brown hardshell case\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Taylor","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56607156470140,"sku":"A816002618403880527","price":5299.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0441\/6457\/9484\/files\/preview_60199721-8576-421d-99c5-88e8a8351f3c.jpg?v=1775654224","url":"https:\/\/www.fairdealmusic.co.uk\/products\/taylor-builders-edition-814ce-next-generation-honduran-sinker-redwood-electro-acoustic-guitar","provider":"Fair Deal Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
