Taylor Builder's Edition 914ce Grand Auditorium Acoustic-Electric Guitar Kona Edgeburst

An exciting addition to Taylor's Builder’s Edition line, the 914ce Grand Auditorium acoustic-electric guitar achieves stellar acoustic tone, sustain and playability. This Taylor 914ce combines back and sides of Honduran rosewood with a top of beautifully striped sinker redwood, creating a guitar with unparalleled harmonic complexity, piano-like trebles and robust lows. The innovative V-Class bracing optimizes the guitar's response, improving volume, sustain and intonation. Playability gets an upgrade as well, with a comfortably sculpted armrest, contoured body edges, curved bridge and a host of other enticing appointments.

Thoughtfully Curated Tonewoods

The Taylor Builder’s Edition 914ce pairs back and sides of Honduran rosewood with a sinker redwood top, a stunning combination usually reserved for the company's Presentation Series. The Honduran rosewood is denser than Indian rosewood, producing complex harmonics with refined response across the frequencies—warm lows, clear trebles and piano-like clarity. The top features sinker redwood from old-growth logs recovered from Northern California rivers, yielding a woodgrain with dramatic striping. It provides the pleasing warmth and touch sensitivity of cedar, along with enhanced projection and dynamics. Together these rare and resonant tonewoods create a voice with exceptional nuance and presence.

Tonally and Aesthetically Gorgeous Neck

The mahogany neck on the Builder’s Edition 914ce boasts easy playability and added sonic character. With its genuine West African ebony fingerboard, you can feel the exquisite resonance across its 20 frets. Antique gold Gotoh 510 tuning machines and a black graphite nut ensure rock-solid tuning stability.
