Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Taylor’s right-handed Next Generation 814ce Builder’s Edition is a Grand Auditorium acoustic-electric with a multi-piece Adirondack spruce top, solid Indian rosewood back and sides, and scalloped V-Class bracing. Its design emphasizes a broad dynamic range, stronger low end, sustain, and articulation. The Long-Tenon Action Control neck allows tool-free string-height changes, useful when refining a setup. For amplified work, Claria electronics provide volume, treble, bass, and Mid-Contour control; the armrest, softened body edges, and Venetian cutaway shape the playing interface.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Refining string height quickly when a changing setup calls for an immediate adjustment.
- Moving between acoustic performance and amplified stage work with onboard Claria controls.
- Accessing higher frets through the sculpted Venetian cutaway during lead-focused parts.
