Taylor 814ce Next Generation Natural w/case

The Taylor 814ce Next Generation represents the latest evolution of Taylor’s flagship Grand Auditorium, pairing familiar tonal character with refined, player-focused updates. Built with Indian rosewood back and sides and a Sitka spruce top, this model delivers a wide, lush overtone profile balanced by clear highs and a supportive low end that adapts easily across playing styles. Scalloped V-Class bracing enhances volume, sustain, and harmonic alignment up the neck, while comfort and adjustability take a step forward with the long-tenon Action Control Neck and a radius-style rosewood armrest. The updated Claria pickup system offers intuitive soundhole-mounted controls and a mid-contour knob for shaping amplified tone with precision, making this 814ce equally at home on stage, in the studio, or unplugged.
