Taylor 814CE Grand Auditorium - Next Generation

The Next-Gen Taylor 814ce elevates Taylor’s flagship Grand Auditorium with performance-driven upgrades that enhance tone, playability, and stage versatility. Featuring the classic pairing of Indian rosewood back and sides with a Sitka spruce top, this 800 Series icon now delivers greater midrange fullness, added warmth, and richer high-end detail while retaining its signature balance and clarity.

Built around Taylor’s easy-to-remember ABC upgrades, the 814ce includes the innovative Action Control Neck™, scalloped V-Class™ bracing, and the all-new Claria System electronics. The long-tenon Action Control Neck™ strengthens the neck-to-body connection for enhanced depth and sustain while allowing fast, precise action adjustments without removing strings or the neck. Scalloped V-Class™ bracing enhances rosewood’s natural lows, adds midrange presence, and enriches open-string resonance.

Plugged in, the Claria System delivers smooth, natural acoustic tone with intuitive soundhole-mounted controls for quick adjustments on stage.
