Taylor 914ce-BE-RW Grand Auditorium Builder's Edition - Natural - Includes Taylor Deluxe Hardshell Case
Store finder
Showcasing premium, solid-tonewood construction, elegant appointments and innovative comfort enhancements, the Builder’s Edition 914ce offers sonic complexity and sublime visual aesthetics. This cutaway Grand Auditorium, our most versatile body shape, pairs Indian rosewood back and sides, featuring a Kona edgeburst, with a natural Lutz spruce top. Indian rosewood, one of the most musically rich tonewoods, yields deep lows and bright, sparkling treble notes that ring out with bell-like clarity. Its Lutz spruce top produces a broad dynamic range with extra volume, projection and sustain thanks to tone-enhancing V-Class bracing inside. The body is finished with our smooth, noise-reducing Silent Satin finish and has chamfered edges, a Curve Wing ebony bridge, and a beveled armrest and cutaway. Even the fretboard has rolled edges for a more comfortable playing experience. Visual details include a mother-of-pearl peghead logo, paua/mother-of-pearl inlays with a Belle Fleur design, a single-ring paua rosette with an ebony-bound soundhole and koa purfling on the fretboard and peghead purfling. This model comes equipped with Gotoh 510 tuning machines in antique gold and onboard ES2 electronics. It ships in a deluxe hardshell case.
Key Features
Grand Auditorium - Taylor’s signature shape embodies the ultimate all-purpose acoustic.
Indian Rosewood - The tonewood superstar. Popular, traditional, and versatile, Bob Taylor puts Indian rosewood among the greatest tonewoods ever.
Lutz Spruce - This natural hybrid of Sitka and White spruce also shares characteristics with Adirondack spruce, responding with power, richness and volume.
Expression System 2 - The Expression System 2 captures more of a guitar’s dynamic properties using a breakthrough behind-the-saddle design.
Beveled Cutaway - Our beveled cutaway design provides a more player-friendly feel for guitarists who utilize every inch of the fretboard. It features a compound design with a smoothened edge along the corner of the body between the end of the cutaway and the neck heel, providing a more comfortable feel for the fretting hand.
V-Class Bracing - Our patented V-Class bracing is a revolutionary new pattern — a new sonic engine — that marks a major shift away from traditional steel-string bracing patterns.
