Taylor Limited Edition Builder's Edition 814ce Adirondack Spruce/Macassar Ebony Acoustic Electric Guitar - Shaded Edgeburst - #1201226078

Unique Tonewoods, Refined Contours, Singular Sound - The Taylor Limited Edition Builder's Edition 814ce Adirondack Spruce/Macassar Ebony Acoustic Electric Guitar in Shaded Edgeburst

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.
