Taylor 814ce

Taylor unveiled the 814ce in the 1990s as the flagship of its Grand Auditorium line, blending contemporary luthiery with reliable electronics. With sitka spruce over Indian rosewood, Taylor’s V-Class bracing, and onboard ES2 pickup system, it became a top choice for touring artists needing balance, clarity, and plug-and-play performance. The model continues to evolve with sustainable woods while defining Taylor’s modern acoustic voice.
