The 2013 Taylor 814ce acoustic-electric guitar is a masterful blend of classic craftsmanship and modern innovation. Featuring a Grand Auditorium body style, this guitar delivers a robust, full sound with exceptional presence and clarity, making it a standout choice for both live performances and studio recordings.
 
At the heart of the 814ce’s tonal excellence is its combination of premium tonewoods: a Sitka spruce top and Indian rosewood back and sides. The Sitka spruce top provides a bright, balanced tone with impressive projection and a hint of sparkle, while the Indian rosewood offers deep, resonant lows and a shimmering high end. This classic pairing ensures a rich, versatile sound that excels whether you’re fingerpicking or strumming.
 
The Grand Auditorium body style of the 814ce enhances its sound projection, offering the depth and power of a dreadnought with a more refined, expressive upper register. The sleek, narrower waist of this body shape sharpens note definition and contributes to the guitar’s overall clarity and tonal balance.
 
The Taylor 814ce also features the cutting-edge Taylor Expression System 2 electronics, which deliver natural, vibrant amplified sound. With a master volume control, two tone controls for adjusting highs and lows, and a discreet phase switch for feedback suppression, this system ensures your sound remains true to the guitar’s acoustic qualities, whether you’re on stage or in the studio.
