Premium tonewoods, distinctive visual features and comfort-enhancing refinements add up to an heirloom-quality instrument in the Custom Builder's Edition 914ce. This Grand Auditorium guitar boasts beautifully variegated Macassar ebony back and sides in a four-piece Simons wedge configuration paired with an Adirondack spruce top and our V-Class bracing, yielding a warm, rich low-end character complemented by articulate trebles and a slight scoop in the midrange. The result is an adaptable response that caters to each player's unique touch, all with exceptional power and volume to fill any space. Gotoh 510 antique gold tuning machines, chamfered body edges, and beveled armrest and cutaway provide a seamless playing experience, while paua Belle Fleur inlays and rosette, black/koa/paua edge trim, a Kona Edgeburst for the back and sides, a heel burst treatment, and a shaded edgeburst top with a full-body gloss finish complete the visual package.

Features
A Stunning Voice with Unmatched Comfort and Style

Upgraded appointments, comfort-enhancing contours, and an uncommon tonewood pairing offer a truly inspiring musical experience.

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.

Sinker Redwood Top Wood - Tight grain structure and cross-grain stiffness produce a bold and brilliant response with warm overtones. Think cedar on steroids.

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.
