Taylor Builder's Edition 814ce Sinker Redwood/Honduran Rosewood, Ebony Fingerboard, Edgeburst

~Guitar pictured is the actual guitar that you will receive~

This all-new pair of Grand Auditorium models bring all the refinement and comfort-centric design elements that set Taylor’s Builder’s Edition collection apart— chamfered body edges, hand-friendly cutaways and beveled armrests, all creating a seamless interaction between player and guitar.

The duo includes two variants: one with Honduran rosewood back and sides and an Adirondack spruce top and another with a sinker redwood soundboard. Honduran rosewood’s density and high damping factor make it a dream body wood, serving up complex harmonic texture and blooming overtones complemented by high-fidelity trebles and a rich low-end response. Adirondack spruce yields a remarkable dynamic range, allowing players to dig in with a strong attack without sacrificing clarity or articulation. The gorgeously striped sinker redwood featured in these models generate cedar-like warmth and a more rounded, mellow quality compared to spruce, with a high volume ceiling and exceptional soft-touch sensitivity. 

Visually, both Builder’s Edition 814ce models sport an elegant, yet understated look. A subtle Kona edgeburst showcases the naturally striking variegation of the Honduran rosewood back and sides. Both models feature an edgeburst top treatment and a full-body gloss finish. Other visual highlights include a smoky West African ebony fretboard, single-ring green abalone rosette with Indian rosewood trim, black/maple/rosewood top purfling, Element fretboard inlays in mother-of-pearl with a matching headstock logo, Indian rosewood pickguard, and antique gold Gotoh 510 tuners.
