AUSTRALIA'S #1 ACOUSTIC GUITAR SPECIALIST
AUSTRALIA'S #1 ACOUSTIC GUITAR SPECIALIST
The Taylor 814ce Builder’s Edition elevates one of Taylor’s most celebrated models into an ultra-refined instrument crafted for serious players. With a Grand Auditorium body and the classic tonewood pairing of Indian rosewood and Adirondack spruce, this model is built for tonal clarity, dynamic range, and long-lasting sustain. Builder’s Edition upgrades take comfort and aesthetics to a new level, including a beveled mahogany armrest, contoured cutaway, and a custom Curve Wing bridge. Each detail is designed to enhance both the playing experience and the sonic performance.
A carefully book-matched four-piece Adirondack spruce top delivers added power and tonal depth, while a modified V-Class bracing design refines the top’s response for a more nuanced and musical output. Premium Gotoh 510 tuners in antique gold offer ultra-precise tuning stability, and the ES2 electronics ensure that this guitar sounds just as inspiring plugged in as it does acoustically. Finished with a silent satin gloss and elegant detailing, the 814ce Builder’s Edition is a world-class guitar for recording, performance, or songwriting.

We endeavour to show the actual instrument in stock whenever possible, but the guitar in stock may differ slightly from the one shown on our website. Materials used can look different from guitar to guitar, including timber grain and colour, parts colours and finishing. If an instrument is a one-of-a-kind or preowned guitar, the picture will always be of the actual guitar in stock, but production models may have slight variations to the picture shown.
If you're after a particular look, feel free to email us at info@acousticcentre.com.au or send us a message through our chat service to request photos of the actual guitar in stock. We are more than happy to send through pictures of all in-stock guitars, to make your choice easier.
