Features We Love:

Quality Woods

This 814ce is made from premium Blackheart Sassafras and Bearclaw Sitka spruce. This interesting and unconventional wood combo represents the full frequency range and combined with Taylor's construction methods presents us with deep lows and sparkling highs. Add to this the ebony fingerboard, and bridge, and you have a guitar that has the looks to match its stunning tone.

V-Class Bracing

Developed by Taylor’s Master Builder Andy Powers, this is an innovative new style of bracing. It tackles the issue of achieving sustain and tone without sacrificing volume. V-Class bracing allows the guitar’s top to move and vibrate in a more stable manner, resulting in more focus and response from the wood. This control means more volume and projection. The ‘V’ of the bracing travels the middle of the guitar, maintaining rigidity and lending sustain and resonance to your notes. V-Class bracing means a louder, richer sound with better intonation and response.

Taylor Claria System

Improving the ever-popular Expression System 2 was no easy feat, yet somehow Taylor have pulled off the impossible with the Taylor Claria System. This modern evolution of the acoustic pickup system is designed to deliver unmatched performance in any scenario, from the home studio to the largest stages.

Who Is It For?
