Taylor Builder's Edition 814ce Electro Acoustic, Sinker Redwood

Full Description

Exceptional tonewoods

The Taylor Builder's Edition 814ce Electro Acoustic is crafted with a carefully selected sinker redwood top and Honduran rosewood back and sides, delivering a truly distinctive tonal profile. Sinker redwood offers a warm, mellow sound with enhanced soft-touch sensitivity, making it ideal for expressive fingerpicking and dynamic strumming. The dense Honduran rosewood body provides a rich low end, articulate trebles, and complex harmonic overtones that ring out beautifully with every note. This combination results in a balanced and resonant sound, ensuring depth and clarity across the entire frequency range.

Innovative bracing system

The V-Class bracing system enhances the guitar’s tonal performance by improving sustain and volume while maintaining remarkable clarity. This innovative design allows the top to vibrate more freely, creating greater projection and a more focused sound. The bracing also enhances the guitar’s intonation, ensuring each note rings true with precise harmonic alignment. Whether you require delicate articulation or powerful strumming, the V-Class bracing delivers a dynamic response that adapts to your playing style with exceptional accuracy.

Comfort-focused design

Designed with comfort in mind, the Builder's Edition 814ce features a bevelled armrest, chamfered body edges, and a contoured cutaway for an effortless playing experience. These ergonomic enhancements create a seamless connection between you and the instrument, allowing for extended sessions without strain or discomfort. The carefully sculpted cutaway provides easy access to the higher frets, making intricate melodies and complex chord voicings more accessible. Each element of the design works together to promote a natural playing position, enhancing your ability to focus on expression and creativity.

Elegant aesthetics

The refined visual details of the Builder's Edition 814ce showcase a perfect balance of sophistication and understated beauty. The edgeburst finish enhances the natural characteristics of the tonewoods, highlighting the rich hues of the sinker redwood and Honduran rosewood. The West African ebony fretboard, adorned with mother-of-pearl Element inlays, adds a touch of elegance while ensuring smooth playability. Complemented by antique gold Gotoh 510 tuners and an Indian rosewood pickguard, every detail is meticulously designed to create an instrument that looks as stunning as it sounds.
