This Next Generation Builder's Edition 914ce represents the evolution of one of Taylor's most celebrated acoustic platforms, blending groundbreaking engineering with exquisite craftsmanship to create an instrument that feels as inspiring as it sounds. Available at Haggerty's Music, this Grand Auditorium is built for players who demand uncompromising tone, exceptional comfort, and refined visual artistry. Every detail has been thoughtfully designed to enhance the musical connection between player and instrument, making this a guitar equally at home on stage, in the studio, or in the living room.

At its heart is a premium pairing of a solid Lutz spruce top and solid Indian rosewood back and sides, producing a voice that is powerful yet remarkably balanced. Crisp, articulate trebles, rich bass response, and blooming harmonic overtones combine with Taylor's scalloped V-Class bracing to deliver increased projection, warmth, sustain, and pitch accuracy across the entire fretboard. The innovative long-tenon Action Control Neck further enhances resonance while allowing quick, precise string height adjustments, ensuring the guitar remains perfectly dialed in for years of effortless playability.

Comfort has always been central to the Builder's Edition philosophy, and the 914ce is no exception. A beautifully sculpted beveled armrest and beveled cutaway eliminate hard edges where your body meets the guitar, creating an exceptionally natural playing experience whether you're fingerpicking intricate passages or strumming with authority. The satin-finished neo-tropical mahogany neck and ebony fingerboard provide Taylor's signature fast, comfortable feel that invites hours of uninterrupted playing.

Visually, the 914ce is every bit as impressive as its voice. Elegant Belle Fleur inlays crafted from mother-of-pearl, a bound paua rosette, koa purfling accents, antique gold Gotoh 510 tuners, and the rich Kona Edgeburst on the back and sides elevate this instrument into true heirloom territory. Equipped with Taylor's Claria Acoustic Pickup System for natural amplified performance and protected by a deluxe Taylor hardshell case, this remarkable Builder's Edition is ready to inspire wherever music takes you.
