Taylor 814ce LTD Grand Auditorium Acoustic-Electric Guitar (with Case)

Meet the 814ce LTD Casablanca Beige top Grand Auditorium acoustic-electric guitar from Taylor Guitars. This limited edition model takes the flagship 814ce Next Generation guitar and adorns it in a stunning metallic beige top finish, inspired by a rare late-1970s Porsche color. The 814ce embraces the classic rosewood and spruce combination in an elegant, understated maple binding with a remarkably comfortable radius armrest.

The guitar starts with all solid woods consisting of Indian Rosewood for the back and sides, and Sitka Spruce for the top. This classic tonewood combination gives the player plenty of bass and top-end response with a nice, scooped-out midrange. The extra-thin finish on the back and sides allows the guitar to project and more accurately reflect the player's style. The Grand Auditorium body shape is the most versatile body shape in Taylor's lineup. Whether you're a fingerstyle player or strummer, the Grand Auditorium body shape covers the most ground.

Three major, game-changing innovations define this generation.

Action Control Neck. A long-tenon neck joint design that not only improves tone and sustain but allows a qualified technician to adjust the neck angle in seconds with the strings still on and the guitar under tension. The result? The ability to set up the guitar for individual playing styles like never before.

Scalloped V-Class Bracing. With changes to the internal architecture, the guitar now brings more low end and bloom to the table while embracing… read more all sustain and intonation benefits of the original V-Class bracing system.

And finally, Claria pickup system, a revolutionary active pickup system that redefines acoustic amplified tone with a proprietary high-definition, active high-fidelity preamp and under-saddle pickup system. Simply put, the most plug-and-play pickup system with volume, tone, and contour-shaping soundhole controls to achieve the ultimate amplified acoustic sound. The Next Generation 814ce features an extra-thin all-gloss finish on the body, Element mother-of-pearl fretboard and peghead inlays, Venetian cutaway, maple binding with a rosewood radius armrest, rosewood pickguard, and ships in a deluxe hardshell case.
