Taylor Builder's Edition 914ce-v2 Grand Auditorium Acoustic-Electric Guitar (with Case)

The Taylor Builder's Edition 914ce-v2 Grand Auditorium acoustic-electric guitar is the top-of-the-line, visually stunning flagship model for 2026, designed for exceptional tone, comfort, and versatility. Its Grand Auditorium body shape -- Taylor's most versatile -- makes it an excellent choice for both fingerstyle players and light to moderate strummers.

Crafted from all solid Honduran Rosewood back and sides and paired with a Lutz Spruce top, the Builder's Edition 914ce delivers strong bass response, clear highs, and a rich midrange similar to Brazilian Rosewood. The Builder's Edition exemplifies amazing dynamic range and headroom where fine art and performance come together. The Lutz Spruce top adds warmth and power similar to European spruce. An ultra-thin gloss finish enhances projection and responsiveness, allowing the guitar to fully reflect the player's touch, while showing off the wood finished in a stunning Kona shaded edgeburst.

For 2026, this Next Generation Builder's Edition 914ce brings three major performance upgrades: the Action Control Neck for fast, precise neck angle adjustments under full string tension; updated Scalloped V-Class bracing for enhanced low-end bloom, sustain, and intonation; and Taylor's Claria active pickup system, offering clear, plug-and-play amplified tone with intuitive soundhole-mounted controls.

Premium Builder's Edition appointments include a beveled armrest and cutaway, chamfered body and neck edge treatment, Gotoh 21:1 antique gold… read more tuners, curved wing bridge, rosewood pickguard, black and paua shell edge trim on top and back, Kona edgeburst back and sides, and Belle Fleur mother-of-pearl fretboard and peghead inlays.
