Taylor Next Generation Builder's Edition 814ce - blacktop & kona edgeburst

The TAYLOR Next Generation Builder's Edition 814ce Indian Rosewood/Adirondack Spruce Blacktop is a prestigious Grand Auditorium featuring three major improvements introduced in the Taylor 2026 catalog: - Long-Tenon Action Control Neck - Scalloped V-Class Bracing - Claria System Acoustic Electronics The "Long-Tenon Action Control Neck" design optimizes the connection between neck and body, adding warmth and depth to the sound. From a purely technical point of view, it also facilitates string height adjustment. The new "Scalloped V-Class Bracing" bracing design has a very positive impact on the sound of the instrument, without altering the renowned balance and projection of the original V-Class system. Low frequencies are even warmer and more generous, and the resonance of open strings is exacerbated.

The "Claria System Acoustic Electronics" circuit, developed in partnership with numerous leading artists and sound engineers, certainly represents the future of recording via the piezo system under the nut. An integrated proprietary preamp and Volume / Tone and Mid-Contour controls make it possible to control the harshness of traditional piezos. You can be sure of consistent, balanced sound in all circumstances.

With these three innovations and superb lutherie (Adirondack spruce top, Honduras rosewood body), the TAYLOR Next Generation Builder's Edition 814ce is a dazzling electro-acoustic guitar. Generous, resonant, with a projection as potentially important as it is controllable, sublimated by the ergonomic features of the Builder's Edition range, this 814ce demonstrates once again that Bob Taylor and his team are at the top of their game.
