Taylor Builder's Edition 814ce Adirondack Spruce/Honduran Rosewood

The Taylor BE814ce LTD pairs rare tonewoods with next-level player-focused design, offering a lush, powerful voice with an ultra-refined playing experience. Built as part of a limited-edition run, this Builder’s Edition Grand Auditorium features Honduran rosewood back and sides paired with a premium Adirondack spruce top, combining rich low-end warmth with dynamic, articulate response across the tonal spectrum.

Honduran rosewood has long been coveted for its complex overtones and extended sustain—an ideal match for the high headroom and clarity of Adirondack spruce. The guitar’s sound is further enhanced by Taylor’s V-Class bracing, which boosts both volume and harmonic consistency from note to note.

Builder’s Edition appointments elevate the playing experience with an armrest bevel, contoured cutaway, chamfered body edges, and a smooth Silent Satin finish. This version of the 814ce also features subtle visual upgrades like maple purfling, a rosewood pickguard, and a black graphite nut. Whether fingerpicking or strumming, the BE814ce LTD delivers premium tone, maximum comfort, and boutique-level exclusivity.
