Taylor 814ce Next Generation

The 814ce, combining Taylor's richest tradition with the most modern innovations of today

The Taylor 814ce has been one of the most respected acoustic guitars in its class for years. The Next Generation version builds on that reputation with a series of improvements that raise the bar once again. Sitka Spruce on the top, Indian Rosewood on the back and sides, the revamped Fanned V-Class bracing, and the new Claria pickup system: this is the 814ce as it's built today, and it sounds better than ever.

The combination of Sitka Spruce and Indian Rosewood is a classic formula that has proven its worth for decades. Deep, warm bass, sparkling highs, and a rich harmonic complexity that suits every playing style. The Fanned V-Class bracing further refines this with better intonation, more volume, and longer sustain. The Grand Auditorium body makes this instrument versatile, from subtle fingerstyle playing to powerful strumming. The Action Control Neck also makes it easy to adjust the string height for optimal playability.

The mahogany neck features the classic Taylor neck profile and leads into an ebony fretboard with Mother-of-Pearl Element inlays and 20 frets. The Claria pickup system offers a natural and consistent amplified sound, with subtle controls in the soundhole that maintain a clean design. The bridge is West African Crelicam Ebony, and the finish is Natural Gloss. Delivered with a hardcase.

The Taylor 814ce Next Generation is for the player who wants the best from Taylor, in an instrument that is ready for the next twenty years. Come play it and hear why the 814ce is a classic.
