Crafted with top-tier tonewoods and master-level detailing, the Builder's Edition 914ce raises the bar for our family of refined, player-focused acoustic guitars. This Grand Auditorium features back and sides of solid Honduran rosewood, a dense, hard wood that yields stunning harmonic texture with warm laws, piano-like trebles and a smooth attack. We've selected sinker redwood for the top, a wood sourced from old-growth logs submerged in Northern California riverbeds. Redwood's warmth and touch sensitivity are comparable to cedar, but with a higher volume ceiling and an enhanced dynamic range. With our V-Class bracing inside, the result is a high-fidelity sound complemented by lush overtones and remarkable pitch precision. Comfort-enhancing features include a beveled armrest and cutaway, chamfered body edges, and a smooth Curve Wing bridge, yielding a truly seamless feel. The Builder's Edition 914ce is artfully detailed with Hawaiian koa purfling, paua edge trim, an ebony backstrap, Gotoh 510 tuners in antique gold, Belle Fleur inlays in paua and mother-of-pearl, and a gorgeous Kona edgburst for the back and sides with a full-body gloss finish.

Features

Top-Tier Craftsmanship Meets World-Class Tonewoods
Honduran rosewood and sinker redwood deliver sophisticated sound to complement bold visual artistry and comfort-focused enhancements.

Grand Auditorium - Taylor’s signature shape embodies the ultimate all-purpose acoustic.

Honduran Rosewood Body Wood - Extremely dense compared to other rosewood species, Honduran rosewood sings with a uniquely smooth voice that makes it worthy of our finest guitars.

Sinker Redwood Top Wood - Tight grain structure and cross-grain stiffness produce a bold and brilliant response with warm overtones. Think cedar on steroids.

Expression System® 2 - Captures more of a guitar’s dynamic properties using a breakthrough behind-the-saddle design.

Beveled Cutaway - Our beveled cutaway design provides a more player-friendly feel for guitarists who utilize every inch of the fretboard. It features a compound design with a smoothened edge along the corner of the body between the end of the cutaway and the neck heel, providing a more comfortable feel for the fretting hand.

V-Class Bracing - Our patented V-Class bracing is a revolutionary new pattern — a new sonic engine — that marks a major shift away from traditional steel-string bracing patterns.
