Celebrate five decades of exceptional craftsmanship with the Taylor 50th Anniversary 814ce Builder's Edition, now available at Irvine Art and Music. This limited-edition Grand Auditorium acoustic-electric guitar embodies the pinnacle of Taylor’s artistry, featuring a stunning sinker redwood top paired with East Indian rosewood back and sides. Known for its exceptional tonal richness, the sinker redwood top imparts a warm, resonant quality that’s perfectly balanced with rosewood’s robust lows and clear highs — all brought to life through Taylor’s innovative V-Class bracing for optimal sustain, volume, and intonation.

Enhanced with premium features, this 814ce model boasts an ergonomic radiused armrest, a beveled Venetian cutaway for effortless upper-fret access, and chamfered edges that provide unparalleled playing comfort. The neck is crafted from neo-tropical mahogany with a standard carve profile, while the Crelicam ebony fingerboard showcases Taylor’s iconic gold mother-of-pearl Element inlays. Additional touches like maple purfling, a green abalone rosette, and ebony bridge pins with gold acrylic dots add visual elegance, further elevated by the Kona Edgeburst gloss finish.

Cutting-edge Taylor ES2 Electronics
Designed for pristine live sound, the 814ce Builder's Edition comes equipped with Taylor’s Expression System 2 (ES2) electronics. This proprietary 3-section pickup system, located behind the saddle, offers an accurate representation of the guitar’s natural voice. With controls for volume, tone, and feedback suppression, you’ll achieve crystal-clear sound whether you’re performing on stage or recording in the studio.

Sustainable Craftsmanship
Taylor's commitment to sustainability shines through with eco-friendly choices like the Crelicam ebony fingerboard, bridge, and headstock overlay, sourced from responsibly managed West African forests. This dedication ensures every Taylor guitar supports both quality and environmental stewardship, enhancing your playing experience with a positive impact.
