Taylor Next Generation 814ce LTD - casablanca beige metallic

The TAYLOR Next Generation 814ce LTD stands out for its major innovations that enhance its playability and tone, promising an unparalleled acoustic experience.

Overview

The TAYLOR Next Generation 814ce LTD is an evolution of the renowned Grand Auditorium 814ce, incorporating three notable improvements from the 2026 Taylor catalog: the Long-Tenon Action Control Neck, Scalloped V-Class Bracing, and the Claria System Acoustic Electronics.

A stronger connection between the neck and body thanks to the Long-Tenon Action Control Neck

The innovative design of the Long-Tenon Action Control Neck optimizes the connection between the neck and the body, creating a warmer, deeper tone. From a practical standpoint, this system makes it easier to adjust string height, allowing for quick changes without having to remove the strings from the guitar.

Enhanced Acoustics with Scalloped V-Class Bracing

The new "Scalloped V-Class Bracing" design significantly enhances the instrument’s sound. It reinforces the warmth and richness of the low frequencies while preserving the balance and projection characteristic of the V-Class system.

An Innovative Electronics System for Balanced Tones

The “Claria System Acoustic Electronics” circuit, developed in collaboration with artists and sound engineers, represents a breakthrough in acoustic recording technology. With a custom preamp and controls for Volume, Tone, and Mid-Contour, you can effectively control tonal nuances, ensuring consistent performance under all conditions.

A Grand Auditorium body shape that combines comfort and projection

The Grand Auditorium or 000 body style is renowned for its ergonomic comfort and versatility. More compact than a Dreadnought, it offers controlled acoustic projection while reducing the risk of feedback, making it perfect for live performances.

High-quality materials for a stunning finish

With its Casablanca Beige Metallic finish and sumptuous construction—featuring a Sitka spruce top and an Indian rosewood body and sides—the TAYLOR Next Generation 814ce LTD is not only beautiful but also incredibly resonant. It embodies the exceptional craftsmanship of Bob Taylor and his team, delivering powerful yet controlled projection.
