Taylor 814ce Next Generation

Taylor are excited to introduce their 2026 Next-Generation Grand Auditorium models, featuring three notable Taylor innovations which reinforce Taylor’s leadership in playability, sonic range, and acoustic amplification: the Action Control Neck, scalloped V-Class bracing, and our all-new Claria System electronics.

Our latest version of the 814ce — a quintessential Taylor model — updates a modern classic, combining the musical versatility of a cutaway Grand Auditorium with the sonic fidelity and fullrange voice of Indian rosewood and incorporating our new next-gen features. Scalloped bracing, together with the Action Control Neck, accentuates rosewood’s natural lows, brings more fullness to the mids, and enhances the richness in the top end. New onboard Claria electronics promise a smooth plug-and-play experience in any live setting, plus the ability to further shape your amplified tone with precision and ease.
