collapse expand iconDescription

The Taylor Builder's Edition 614ce V-Class Grand Auditorium acoustic electric guitar is the pinnacle of Taylor's craftsmanship and innovation. Featuring revolutionary V-Class bracing and premium tonewoods like torrefied Sitka spruce and figured maple, this guitar produces a sound that is stunningly full, clear and resonant. The V-Class bracing creates notes that ring out in perfect harmony for chords that bloom and sustain. Maple's natural warmth and richness results in a versatile tone that flatters any playing style.

The Builder's Edition 614ce combines esthetic refinement with player-centric details for an unparalleled playing experience. A beveled ebony armrest and compound cutaway provide ergonomic comfort, while Gotoh 510 tuners with a 21:1 gear ratio ensure precision tuning.

V-Class Bracing Unlocks the Guitar's Full Potential

Taylor's patented V-Class bracing is a breakthrough in acoustic guitar design that boosts volume, sustain and intonation. It creates a more resonant response that produces notes of exceptional clarity and consistency across the entire fretboard. Chords ring fully and freely, with a sonic purity. V-Class bracing gives the Builder's Edition 614ce a dynamic range and tonal balance suited to any playing style.

Premium Tonewoods Produce a Sound That Sparkles

At the heart of the Builder's Edition 614ce is a pairing of torrefied Sitka spruce and figured bigleaf maple. The spruce top provides clear tone and broad dynamic range, crisp articulation and bell like trebles. The maple back and sides enhance sustain, projection and complexity, extending the bass range while preserving maple's innate clarity and focus. Together, these tonewoods generate a sound with shimmering highs, rich lows and a three-dimensional quality that gives each note a voice.

Ergonomics and Appointments Made for Musicians

From its contoured cutaway to provide unfettered access up the fretboard to its beveled armrest for playing comfort, every detail of the Builder's Edition 614ce is designed with musicians in mind. Ebony binding and inlays, along with a silent satin finish, give this guitar an understated elegance. The Expression System 2 produces a natural acoustic tone when plugged in, perfect for live performance and recording. A deluxe hardshell case is included to protect your investment.
