Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Built around a Grand Auditorium body, this limited-edition 814ce combines a solid Sitka spruce top with cocobolo back and sides, scalloped V-Class bracing, and Taylor’s Claria electronics. The acoustic voice is described as powerful and nuanced, with crisp articulation, focused low end, and clear mids. For amplified work, the Claria system provides onboard volume, mid-contour, treble, and bass adjustment. A satin tropical mahogany neck, ebony fingerboard, radius-style armrest, and Action Control neck make its player-focused details part of the package.
