Blending innovation with tradition, the 2014 Taylor 814ce set a new benchmark for premium acoustic-electric guitars when it was redesigned by master luthier Andy Powers. Now available at Haggerty’s Music, this Grand Auditorium model offers a revoiced tonal profile, refined aesthetics, and upgraded player comfort—all while retaining the balanced sound and versatility that made the 814ce a flagship favorite. Whether you're performing on stage, tracking in the studio, or playing at home, the 2014 814ce delivers exceptional dynamic range, articulation, and warmth across every register.

The solid Sitka spruce top paired with East Indian rosewood back and sides delivers brilliant highs, rich lows, and a complex midrange. Taylor’s new-for-2014 Advanced Performance bracing with Relief Rout enhances projection and tonal balance, while the thinner 3.5-mil gloss finish improves resonance and natural vibration. A rosewood pickguard, pale maple binding, and Element inlays add tasteful visual upgrades, and the updated Expression System 2 electronics capture your true acoustic tone with stunning fidelity. This instrument ships in a Taylor deluxe hardshell case for reliable protection.
