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. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Claria Pickup System was developed with extensive input from touring artists and live sound engineers, the Claria reimagines the under-saddle piezo pickup to deliver consistent plug-and-play acoustic tone in any setting. Boasting a versatile character that translates beautifully when amplified.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVisually, 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 a full-body gloss finish and an edgeburst top treatment on the Sinker Redwood. 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eScalloped V-Class bracing introduces a scalloped profile that unlocks a warmer low end and richer open-string resonance, while preserving the balance, pitch accuracy and projection that define V-Class.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Action Control Neck refines the micro-adjustability of Taylor's standard neck design with a new shimless design that allows a player to make easy, quick micro-adjustments to dial in the string height for any situation. You don’t have to remove the neck or even the strings. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSerial #: 1211255037\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTop Wood: Sinker Redwood\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBack and Side Wood: Honduran Rosewood\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNeck Wood: Mahogany\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFingerboard Wood: West African Crelicam Ebony\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNut Width: 1-3\/4\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eScale Length: 25-1\/2\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBracing: Scalloped V-Class\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eType of Neck Joint: Long-Tenon\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eElectronics: Claria Pickup System\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCase: Deluxe Hardshell, Brown\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eStrings: D'Addario XS Coated Phosphor Bronze Light\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-sheets-root=\"1\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe guitar pictured is the actual guitar that you will receive.
