Taylor 814ce Builder’s Edition Blacktop

The Taylor 814ce Builder's Edition Blacktop guitar is a masterful blend of premium craftsmanship and rich tonal quality. Its Adirondack spruce top provides incredible power and projection, while the Indian rosewood back and sides deliver warmth and lush overtones that enhance every chord. The neck is crafted from sturdy Neo-Tropical mahogany, complemented by a smooth West African Crelicam ebony fretboard for effortless playability. V-Class bracing enhances sustain and volume, making it perfect for both soft fingerpicking and robust strumming. The guitar’s striking black top finish adds visual allure, and it includes Taylor’s advanced Expression System® 2 electronics for top-tier amplified sound. A beveled cutaway offers easy access to higher frets, and it comes in a Taylor Deluxe hardshell brown case for safe transport and storage.
