The specialist's opinion
The Taylor Builder's Edition 814ce Honduran Sinker Redwood takes Taylor Guitars' 800 Series heritage a step further by incorporating rare wood choices and advanced ergonomic optimizations.
This model aims for a fluid playing experience, with a particularly dynamic acoustic response.
Honduras rosewood back and sides, denser than traditional rosewood, offer a balanced response and extended harmonic depth. The redwood sinker top brings a cedar-like warmth, with great touch sensitivity, ideal for dynamic and expressive playing.
The V-Class bracing enhances volume, sustain and trueness along the entire length of the neck, while reinforcing coherence between notes. Ergonomics are at the heart of this Builder's Edition, with a beveled mahogany armrest, sculpted cutaway and chamfered edges that significantly improve playing comfort.
The Curve Wing bridge contributes to the smooth vibratory response, while the Gotoh 510 Tuners ensure high tuning accuracy thanks to their 18:1 ratio. Element mother-of-pearl inlays and a glossy finish with shaded edgeburst complete a sober, high-end aesthetic.
Designed for demanding guitarists, this 814ce Builder's Edition combines sensitivity, precision and comfort in a resolutely modern instrument.
