Stunning “fiddleback” walnut lends its characteristically warm sound to the 814ce-LTD; blonde maple binding contrasts beautifully with the glossy, highly figured walnut back and sides. A Sitka spruce top helps create a satisfying well of resonance. It is truly a marriage of tone and style to welcome the changing season.

Walnut
Stunning “fiddleback” walnut lends its characteristically warm sound to the 814ce-LTD; blonde maple binding contrasts beautifully with the glossy, highly figured walnut back and sides.
Grand Auditorium (GA)
The GA is Taylor’s most versatile and popular shape, excelling at light-touch fingerstyle to full-blown strumming. Great for mic’ing and recording, the GA’s balanced mid-range and bright tone exemplify the Taylor voice.
Expression System®
Using proprietary pickup technology developed at Taylor, the Expression System® amplifies your guitar with an unrivaled, natural live sound. Onboard tone controls provide added flavor, or set flat for an uncolored, exceptionally-clean amplified sound. It’s your tone. Amplified.
Gloss Top, Back & Sides
The finish used to create this guitar's lustrous gloss top, back, and sides was developed at Taylor for maximum durability and resistance to cold-checking. This ultra violet-cured finish is also more environmentally friendly than traditional lacquer finishes.
