Taylor Taylor Next-Gen 814CE Rosewood Grand Auditorium with Cutaway and Electronics

Presenting the all new Next-Generation 814-CE from Taylor Guitars. When you combine Taylor’s iconic Grand Auditorium body style with the rich heritage of the 800 Series and infuse it with Taylor's latest performance innovations, a new benchmark is born. The latest version of the 814ce, a quintessential Taylor flagship model, updates a modern classic, combining the musical versatility of a cutaway Grand Auditorium with the sonic fidelity and fullrange voice of Indian rosewood. For 2026, the team at Taylor are excited to unveil a trio of refinements to select Grand Auditorium models within their 2026 lineup, including this Next Gen 814-CE: Taylor's patented long-tenon Action Control Neck. A new scalloped profile for their V-Class bracing architecture All-new Claria System acoustic electronics The new Scalloped bracing, together with the Action Control Neck, accentuates rosewood’s natural lows, brings more fullness to the mids, and enhances the richness in the top end. ew onboard Claria electronics promise a smooth plug-and-play experience in any live setting, plus the ability to further shape your amplified tone with precision and ease. Action Control Neck Debuting on the Gold Label Collection, Taylor's innovative new neck design now comes to the Grand Auditorium body size. The long-tenon neck joint improves the neck-to-body connection, adding warmth and depth to the guitar’s voice. At the same time, the Action Control feature makes adjusting string height quicker and more precise than ever, without even needing to remove your strings or the neck...... Players can dial in their preferred setup in seconds and adapt on the fly to changing styles or shifting climate conditions. It’s the ultimate fusion of tone, stability and setup convenience. Scalloped V-Class Bracing The latest evolution of Taylor’s V-Class bracing introduces a scalloped profile that unlocks a warmer low end and richer open-string resonance, while preserving the balance, pitch accuracy and projection that define V-Class. Models featuring this new bracing are now seasoned with a touch of low-end depth that adds more fullness to the voice. As chief designer Andy Powers puts it: “It’s as if you married the low-end response of traditional flattops with the strong midrange and top-end presence of V-Class.” Claria System Acoustic Electronics Developed with extensive input from touring artists and live sound engineers, Taylor’s new Claria System reimagines the under-saddle piezo pickup to deliver consistent plug-and-play acoustic tone in any setting. Let's face it: Getting your acoustic guitar to sound great when plugged in can be a challenge. Any pickup sounds different to the player than the way they hear their guitar naturally when playing unplugged, and many systems are a struggle to dial in when plugged into a PA system. The Claria System's proprietary preamp tames the harshness of traditional piezos and incorporates soundhole-mounted controls: Volume, Tone and a versatile Mid-Contour knob for optimal performance and a clean, traditional look. The result is consistent, stage-ready tone that’s easier than ever to shape for any setting — from small, intimate gigs, to large-venue performances and anywhere in-between.
