Upgraded with a rare tonewood combination that yields a highly distinctive acoustic voice, the Custom Builder's Edition 814ce offers a truly singular playing experience. This thoughtfully refined Grand Auditorium pairs an Adirondack spruce top with back and sides of stunning Macassar ebony, an Indonesian hardwood that can adapt beautifully to channel your unique touch. Players can expect robust low-end character with a clear, vibrant treble range and a slight scoop in the midrange, all with impressive power and volume thanks to the Adirondack top and V-Class bracing under the hood. Player-centric features include chamfered body edges, a beveled armrest with a matching cutaway, and ultra-precise Gotoh 510 tuning machines in antique gold. Visually, this model is appointed to complement the striking variegation of the four-piece Simons wedge Macassar back and sides. Details include an ebony Curve Wing bridge, a smoky ebony fretboard, a green abalone rosette with rosewood/maple/black purfling, Element fretboard and peghead inlays, rosewood/maple/black top edge trim, a full-body gloss finish, and a Kona Edgeburst for the back and sides with a shaded edgeburst top. 

Features
Unique Tonewoods, Refined Contours, Singular Sound

Macassar ebony, Adirondack spruce, V-Class bracing and a host of comfort enhancements add up to a playing experience unlike any other.

Grand Auditorium - Taylor’s signature shape embodies the ultimate all-purpose acoustic.

Macassar Ebony Body Wood - Macassar’s exotic beauty is matched by a bold, dynamic tone that can be dark or bright, depending on the player and the top pairing.

Action Control Neck - Building on Taylor’s legacy of easy-playing necks, the new Action Control Neck pairs a long-tenon joint for added warmth and depth with a patented system for effortless string height adjustment.

Adirondack Spruce Top Wood - Known for its high volume ceiling and dynamic, lively response, Adirondack spruce retains exceptional clarity even with an aggressive attack.

Claria™ Pickup System - Developed with extensive input from touring artists and live sound engineers, Taylor’s new Claria™ System reimagines the under-saddle piezo pickup to deliver consistent plug-and-play acoustic tone in any setting.

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.
