AUSTRALIA'S #1 ACOUSTIC GUITAR SPECIALIST
AUSTRALIA'S #1 ACOUSTIC GUITAR SPECIALIST
The Taylor 814ce Grand Auditorium Acoustic-Electric Guitar stands as the hallmark of Taylor's craftsmanship and sonic innovation. Featuring a solid Sitka spruce top and Indian rosewood back and sides, this flagship model delivers a dynamic tonal range with shimmering highs, lush lows, and richly layered overtones. The Grand Auditorium body provides a perfect balance of depth and clarity, making it ideal for fingerstyle, strumming, or flatpicking across any genre.
At the heart of the 814ce is Taylor’s revolutionary V-Class bracing, which enhances sustain, volume, and intonation across the entire fretboard. Elegant appointments like a rosewood pickguard, maple binding, and mother-of-pearl Element inlays add a luxurious aesthetic to its bold tone. Equipped with the Taylor ES2 pickup system, the 814ce offers natural and articulate amplified sound, making it equally at home on stage or in the studio.

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.
Please note that returns will not be accepted for variations in timber grain / colouring, finish variations and parts colouring, unless there is a fault with the instrument. If you have any questions at all regarding an instrument's appearance, just drop us a line - we're always happy to send photos, and if we have more than one instrument in stock you'll be able to choose the exact guitar that you receive!
