Taylor Next Generation Builder's Edition 814ce Blacktop Indian Rosewood/Adirondack Spruce #1203316009

The Taylor Next Generation Builder's Edition 814ce Blacktop represents a bold evolution of one of Taylor’s most iconic acoustic designs, blending cutting-edge innovation with refined, player-focused comfort. Featuring a gloss-finished Adirondack spruce top paired with a sleek blacktop aesthetic, this guitar delivers exceptional headroom, clarity, and dynamic range.

Inside, Taylor’s revolutionary V-Class bracing enhances sustain, volume, and intonation across the entire fretboard, making every note ring with precision. The beveled cutaway and ergonomic Builder’s Edition contours ensure a smooth, comfortable playing experience whether you’re seated or standing.

The neo-tropical mahogany neck, shaped for a natural feel, is topped with a West African Crelicam ebony fingerboard and bridge, offering a fast, responsive surface with elegant Element inlays. Premium details like rock maple binding, an Indian rosewood pickguard, and ebony bridge pins with green abalone dots elevate the visual appeal.

Equipped with Taylor’s Expression System® 2 electronics, this 814ce is ready for the stage or studio, capturing its rich tonal character with clarity and balance. Strung with D’Addario XS coated phosphor bronze strings and fitted with Gotoh tuners for precise tuning stability, it’s a modern acoustic built for discerning players who demand both performance and style.
