Overview
Builder's Edition 814ce LTD Macassar Ebony
Upgraded with a rare tonewood combination that yields a highly distinctive acoustic voice, the Custom Builder's Edition 814ce offers a truly singular playing experience. This thoughtfully refined Grand Auditorium pairs an Adirondack spruce top with back and sides of stunning Macassar ebony, an Indonesian hardwood that can adapt beautifully to channel your unique touch. Players can expect robust low-end character with a clear, vibrant treble range and a slight scoop in the midrange, all with impressive power and volume thanks to the Adirondack top and V-Class bracing under the hood. Player-centric features include chamfered body edges, a beveled armrest with a matching cutaway, and ultra-precise Gotoh 510 tuning machines in antique gold. Visually, this model is appointed to complement the striking variegation of the four-piece Simons wedge Macassar back and sides. Details include an ebony Curve Wing bridge, a smoky ebony fretboard, a green abalone rosette with rosewood/maple/black purfling, Element fretboard and peghead inlays, rosewood/maple/black top edge trim, a full-body gloss finish, and a Kona Edgeburst for the back and sides with a shaded edgeburst top.
Features
Unique Tonewoods, Refined Contours, Singular Sound
Macassar ebony, Adirondack spruce, V-Class bracing and a host of comfort enhancements add up to a playing experience unlike any other.
Grand Auditorium
Our flagship shape offers comfort and cross-genre utility, with a clear, balanced tone suited for both fingerstyle and strumming.
Macassar Ebony
Macassar’s exotic beauty is matched by a bold, dynamic tone that can be dark or bright, depending on the player and the top pairing.
Action Control Neck
Building on Taylor’s legacy of easy-playing necks, the new Action Control Neck pairs a long-tenon joint for added warmth and depth with a patented system for effortless string height adjustment.
Adirondack Spruce
Known for its high volume ceiling and dynamic, lively response, Adirondack spruce retains exceptional clarity even with an aggressive attack.
The Claria Acoustic Pickup System
Designed for reliability and ease of use, the Claria System features a reimagined piezo pickup that delivers clear, versatile acoustic tone for any application.
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.

814ce LTD > Custom Shop SJ 200
It’s nearly impossible for me to explain what I believe in terms of this guitar being a tonal and playing experience upgrade, because I don’t have the technical vocabulary to do the task justice. The Taylor is my new #1, replacing a custom shop 1957 reissue SJ 200 which I loved (tonally). It has always been an uncomfortable playing experience but I endured it because it sounded beautiful. Even though the GA body of the Taylor is much smaller, tonality is other worldly by comparison with the Gibson. The comfortability of the GA makes me want to hold it all the time, so playing time, practice, rehearsal and gigging motivation have all skyrocketed. I can’t for the life of me think of anything I would change on the 814. Never said that about another guitar. This is my second Taylor (a 458e preceded this one by about 6 years). I probably won’t be getting another Gibson.
