Taylor 814ce LTD - Natural

Limited-edition 814ce with Rare Tonewoods
The Taylor 814ce LTD is a rare find. "Singing" Sitka spruce tops a back and sides made from cocobolo, delivering bold projection and bathing your playing in an undeniable top-end shimmer. Experience exceptional presence, thanks to the 814ce LTD's Grand Auditorium body style. Beyond that, performance bracing and tone-enhancing hide glue complete this acoustic-electric guitar's sonic picture. And when it's time to hit the stage, cutting-edge ES2 electronics are on hand to ensure top-shelf plugged-in performance. The 814ce LTD looks as great as it sounds, boasting an attractive paua rosette edged with ebony and ivoroid, along with eye-catching mother-of-pearl Element fingerboard inlays and a paua/mother-of-pearl Nouveau peghead inlay.




"Singing" Sitka spruce and cocobolo — a great tonal match
The 814ce LTD features a cocobolo back and sides topped with "singing" Sitka spruce. When compared to standard Sitka spruce, the "singing" variety's grain spacing is wider and more uniform. This gives it an especially crisp, resonant sound. Cocobolo is fast, responsive, and articulate, yielding tight lows and crystal-clear highs. When combined, "singing" Sitka spruce and cocobolo exhibit bold projection and an ear-pleasing top-end shimmer. Whether you're strumming or fingerpicking, you'll appreciate the clarity and dynamic punch of the 814ce LTD.






Grand Auditorium body style gives you exceptional presence
Taylor's beloved Grand Auditorium body style, featured on the 814ce LTD, employs the width and depth of a dreadnought. But its waist is narrower, which gives Grand Auditorium-bodied acoustic guitars a sleeker look, with more treble zing. The 814ce LTD's Grand Auditorium body style also helps to sharpen the definition of each note, balancing out nicely with the excellent projection of its "singing" Sitka spruce top. The guitarists at Sweetwater have found that Grand Auditorium bodies are great for fingerpicking and flatpicking alike.




Cutting-edge Taylor Expression System 2 electronics
If you play plugged in, then you're going to love the Taylor Expression System 2 (ES2) electronics built into your 814ce LTD. The key to this fantastic system is the 3-section proprietary pickup located behind the saddle. Because of where it's positioned and how it's integrated into this guitar's saddle, the ES2 pickup provides you with remarkably clear and accurate sound. In addition to a master volume control, a pair of tone controls lets you tweak your highs and lows to get the sound you need, and a discreet phase switch offers vital onboard feedback suppression.
