Taylor 814ce Builder's Edition 50th Anniversary Limited-Edition Grand Auditorium Acoustic-Electric Guitar Kona Edgeburst

The Taylor 814ce Builder's Edition 50th Anniversary limited-edition Grand Auditorium acoustic guitar combines two phenomenal tonewoods—Indian rosewood and sinker redwood—to deliver a kaleidoscopic range of tones. This special 50th anniversary model pairs the warm, rich lows of Indian rosewood with the cedar-like warmth and excellent projection of sinker redwood. Together, they produce remarkable tonal complexity that's enhanced by Taylor's advanced V-Class bracing. Visually striking touches like the abalone rosette, gold tuners, and Kona burst edge over rosewood celebrate Taylor's five decades of guitar innovation.

Ergonomic Contours and Bevels for Playing Comfort

In addition to its visual elegance, the limited-edition 814ce Builder's Edition 50th Anniversary features carefully considered ergonomic contours for comfort. The beveled armrest, scooped cutaway and slimmer body thickness improve access to the highest frets. The contoured Curve Wing bridge and rounded body edges maximize playing ease. In whatever style of genre you play, this thoughtfully designed guitar feels fantastic in your hands.

Innovative V-Class Bracing for Balanced Tone

Taylor's groundbreaking V-Class bracing architecture turbocharges this limited-edition 814ce's voice with greater sustain, volume and harmonic complexity compared to traditional bracing. Carefully tuned for each body shape, V-Class bracing optimizes the guitar's natural resonance as you play. Notes ring out with beautiful balance across the tonal spectrum. Both heavy strumming and delicate fingerpicking are rewarded with clear, layered overtones.
