Taylor Builder's Edition 614ce Electro, Wild Honey Burst

Full Description

Exceptional tonewoods for a bold, articulate sound

The Builder's Edition 614ce is crafted with solid Big Leaf Maple back and sides, delivering a bright, articulate voice with remarkable clarity. Known for its transparent tonal character, maple allows every nuance of your playing to shine, making it an excellent choice for fingerstyle, flatpicking, and dynamic strumming. The torrefied Sitka spruce top adds warmth and sweetness, giving the guitar a matured, played-in feel from the first note. Taylor’s master builder Andy Powers has carefully revoiced this model to bring out extra warmth and depth, ensuring a balanced response across the entire frequency range.

V-Class bracing for power, sustain, and harmonic depth

Inside the 614ce, Taylor’s revolutionary V-Class bracing enhances the guitar’s volume, sustain, and overall tonal response. This innovative design allows the top to vibrate more efficiently, creating a powerful yet controlled resonance that ensures each note rings with clarity and balance. Chords sound fuller and more harmonically rich, while single notes carry greater definition. With V-Class bracing, the guitar maintains a perfectly in-tune sound across the fretboard, reducing the dissonance that can occur with traditional X-bracing. The result is a guitar that not only sounds louder but also more harmonically complex.

Unmatched comfort with Builder’s Edition enhancements

Designed for effortless playability, the Builder's Edition 614ce is loaded with premium comfort features. A bevelled armrest and cutaway provide a smooth, ergonomic feel, allowing you to play for hours without discomfort. The body edges are chamfered for a sleek, rounded contour that eliminates sharp edges, making the guitar feel incredibly natural in your hands. Taylor’s Silent Satin finish reduces handling noise while offering a soft, touch-responsive surface, ensuring that your playing experience is as comfortable as it is expressive. Every detail is designed to enhance your connection with the instrument.

Stage-ready performance with Expression System 2

Equipped with Taylor’s Expression System 2 (ES2), the 614ce captures its natural acoustic voice with stunning clarity and depth. Unlike traditional undersaddle pickups, the ES2 features a behind-the-saddle sensor design that more accurately translates the dynamic range and tonal balance of the guitar. On stage or in the studio, the ES2 ensures that every nuance of your playing is faithfully reproduced. Paired with professional-grade tone-shaping capabilities, this pickup system delivers a natural, dynamic amplified tone that lets your music shine in any setting.
