Taylor's 900 Series Acoustic-Electric Guitars

Taylor's 900 series bring amazing tones and striking looks to a whole new playing field. Each guitar is crafted from select Sitka spruce and Indian rosewood with truly top-notch appointments -- attractive bindings, decorative rosettes, and those beautiful "Cindy" fingerboard and bridge inlays. Acoustic-electric guitars don't get much classier than these beauties.

Grand Auditorium Body in Sitka Spruce and Indian Rosewood

Sitka spruce is a classic wood for bringing a tight crispiness to your playing. Indian rosewood gives your guitar plenty of body, so you'll never be short of middle and lower frequencies. These time-tested tonewoods are a natural fit for Taylor's hugely popular Grand Auditorium body shape. Whether you're plugged in or going acoustic, every chord and every note you play on the 914ce will have a warm, read more well-balanced articulation that simply can't be ignored. Once you hit your first chord, you'll see why Taylor stands apart from other names.

Tropical Mahogany Neck and Ebony Fingerboard

Resting comfortably in your hand is your Taylor 914ce's tropical mahogany neck. Mahogany, like rosewood, places a nice emphasis on your middle and lower frequencies while also bringing plenty of sustain into the mix. The ebony fingerboard on this neck is incredibly smooth and welcoming to your fingers, and all 20 frets harness a razor-thin action that makes playing this Taylor a complete breeze.

Taylor's Expression System 2 Electronics

Taylor's Expression System 2 pickup and preamp configuration captures all of the warm and resonant sounds that this guitar embodies. Three individually calibrated pickup sensors are placed in three unique positions to capture your playing and pump it through a professional audio-grade preamp system to give you a pristine, well balanced, and articulate signal to fire through your amp or the venue's PA system.

Beautiful Sounds and Striking Looks

To give off an air of sophistication and all around class, your Taylor 914ce is decorated with illustrious Cindy fretboard and bridge inlays. An abalone edge trim and a decorative rosette add a nice touch of visual finesse, and ebony bridge pins with abalone dots bring a subtle elegance. This guitar will make you look as great as it'll make your performance sound.
