Taylor 814ce
Completely updated for 2026: the Taylor 814ce Next Generation!
The Grand Auditorium model now features brand-new scalloped V-Class bracing for improved top response, an Action Control Neck for quick and precise string height adjustments, and even more beautiful amplified tone thanks to the Taylor Claria pickup system. There's a reason the 814ce is Taylor's most beloved guitar: with its combination of refined craftsmanship, rich and complex tone, and artful aesthetics, the versatile 814ce embodies everything Taylor stands for as a guitar maker.
With premium tonewoods, refined details, top-notch craftsmanship, and a distinctly powerful, contemporary tone, the Taylor 800 series combines a seamless playing experience with unparalleled clarity and balance. The proven combination of solid Indian rosewood and Sitka spruce produces a versatile tone rich in harmonic texture and bright overtones, elevated to new heights by the new scalloped V-Class bracing. Notes sustain longer, allowing the rich overtones of rosewood to bloom with greater clarity than ever before, and the advanced bracing provides greater power and tuning stability across the entire tonal spectrum for a rich and expressive sound.
This beautiful tone is also perfectly amplified by the new Claria pickup system. Developed with extensive input from touring artists and live sound engineers, this system reimagines the under-bridge piezo pickup to deliver consistent, instantly playable acoustic tone in any environment.
Other design elements include a radius-style rosewood armrest bevel and smoked nickel tuners, along with 800 Series standard finishes such as an ebony fingerboard and bridge, maple binding with rosewood purfling, an abalone rosette edged with rosewood, and pearloid Element fingerboard and headstock inlays.
The guitar comes with a TFOA passport and a hardshell case.
