The Korena take
Taylor’s 814ce brings an Adirondack spruce top, solid Indian rosewood back and sides, and V-Class bracing to a Grand Auditorium acoustic-electric. Its described voice combines articulate highs, warm lows, and resonant mids, with balanced volume and projection for fingerpicking or strumming. Expression System 2 electronics use a behind-the-saddle transducer with adjustable sensors, onboard volume, active bass and treble, and a phase switch for amplified use in live or studio settings. A Taylor deluxe hardshell case is included.
Strong match
Who this is for
