Overview

V-Class bracing unlocks the 814ce's full potential for expressive playing.

The Taylor 814ce acoustic-electric guitar provides an inspiring playing experience. The redesigned 800 Series features refinements to bring out maximum musicality and fun. The innovative V-Class bracing delivers impressive volume, sustain and sonic detail. Comfortable features like the radius armrest make playing a joy. The ES-2 professional pickup system faithfully conveys your tone. Whether fingerpicking, strumming or flatpicking, the 814ce responds with a clear, balanced sound. The rosewood back and sides paired with a Sitka spruce top produce a shimmering tone with plenty of warmth and projection.

V-Class Bracing Unlocks the Guitar's Voice

Taylor's groundbreaking V-Class bracing opens up the guitar's soundboard to vibrate more freely. The result is a bigger, bolder tone with more overtones. Chords ring out with piano-like clarity and single notes bloom with harmonic richness. Strumming, picking and slapping techniques all come through with articulate detail. The V-Class bracing makes the 814ce an incredibly responsive instrument.

Premium Tonewoods for a Lifetime of Song

The 814ce's solid Sitka spruce top, Indian rosewood back and sides are carefully selected for their tonal quality and beauty. These tonewoods only improve with age and playing time. The spruce top will mellow and open up, producing sweeter highs and a more complex midrange. The rosewood back and sides add warmth, depth and projection. Their colors will also darken and take on a fine patina. You'll enjoy a lifetime of music from this guitar.

Plug in and Play with the ES-2 Pickup System

Taylor's ES-2 pickup system captures the 814ce's tone with stunning realism. The discrete saddle transducer senses string vibration with clear, balanced output. Bass, treble and volume controls let you shape the tone to suit the venue. The ES-2 system makes the 814ce performance-ready for any situation where you need to plug in. Its simple controls and natural sound are ideal for singer-songwriters and other solo artists.

Play in Comfort with the Radius Armrest

The 814ce's radius armrest provides comfortable support for your picking arm. Its curved shape follows the contour of your forearm for a natural feel. The armrest reduces tension in your arm so you can play longer without fatigue. It's securely attached to the guitar's side, but can be removed if desired.
