Taylor Builder’s Edition 814ce Acoustic-electric Guitar – Blacktop

The Taylor Builder’s Edition 814ce Acoustic-Electric Guitar in Blacktop represents the pinnacle of modern acoustic design, blending premium tonewoods, innovative engineering, and player-focused comfort into one flagship instrument.

This striking variation of Taylor’s renowned 814ce features a bold black-finished Adirondack spruce top paired with solid Indian rosewood back and sides, delivering a powerful, articulate voice with deep low-end warmth, sparkling highs, and rich harmonic overtones. Taylor’s advanced V-Class bracing enhances sustain, volume, and intonation across the entire fretboard, making it equally suited for delicate fingerstyle work and aggressive strumming.

Designed with performance in mind, the Builder’s Edition introduces refined ergonomic elements such as a beveled armrest and cutaway, along with chamfered body edges that create a smooth, comfortable playing experience in any position. The Grand Auditorium body shape offers exceptional versatility, making this guitar a true all-purpose instrument for stage, studio, or home.

Equipped with Taylor’s Expression System 2 electronics, the 814ce Blacktop delivers natural, dynamic amplified tone, while its sleek aesthetic—highlighted by the dark top and Kona burst back and sides—adds a modern, sophisticated edge to a timeless design.

This is more than just a premium acoustic—it’s a refined, player-centric instrument built for musicians who demand both sonic excellence and effortless playability.
