Taylor Builder’s Edition 914ce Natural

The Pinnacle of Taylor Craftsmanship

The Taylor Builder’s Edition 914ce Natural represents the ultimate expression of Taylor’s luthiery artistry—combining master-grade tonewoods, meticulous detailing, and ergonomic refinement into one breathtaking Grand Auditorium guitar. Built in the USA with all-solid tonewoods and voiced with Taylor’s revolutionary V-Class bracing, this flagship acoustic-electric delivers an inspiring blend of power, balance, and harmonic complexity suited for discerning players and professionals alike.

Every detail of the Builder’s Edition 914ce is carefully considered to enhance tone, comfort, and beauty. The solid Lutz spruce top—a hybrid of Sitka and White spruce—provides the dynamic range and responsiveness of an aged instrument, while the solid Indian rosewood back and sides contribute a deep, resonant low end and shimmering overtones. Together, they create a sound that is articulate yet full, rich yet transparent, equally suited for fingerstyle, strumming, and flatpicking.

Ergonomically sculpted for effortless playing, this model features a beveled armrest and contoured cutaway that flow seamlessly into the elegant Grand Auditorium body. The mahogany neck and ebony fingerboard ensure silky playability, while the luxurious Belle Fleur inlays and Paua rosette underscore its high-end aesthetic.

Onstage or in the studio, the Taylor Expression System 2 electronics capture the instrument’s natural acoustic character with remarkable depth and clarity, ensuring every nuance of your performance translates beautifully when amplified.
