2019 Taylor 814ce DLX Cedar Natural
Offered is this marvelous Taylor 814ce Deluxe V-Brace built in 2019. This example has a relatively unique Western Red Cedar top instead of the typical Sitka Spruce, a custom feature designed to give the guitar a slightly warmer tone.
The 814ce Deluxe is a 14-fret Grand Auditorium-sized instrument (16" lower bout width) with a 25.5" string scale and a Venetian cutaway. It has the Western Red Cedar top supported with Adirondack Spruce V-class bracing, a system which Andy Powers developed. The back and sides are Indian Rosewood. It has a tropical Mahogany neck with the sleek, fast shape that Taylor guitars are known for. It has a figured Ebony fingerboard and a 1-3/4" nut width. It has an Ebony bridge with 2-3/16" string spacing. This Deluxe version gets an Rosewood trimmed armrest, Adirondack Spruce braces and upgraded Gotoh 510 tuners. The electronics on this instrument include Taylor's improved ES2 9V system.
The 814CE is a guitar that can do most everything extremely well and the custom Cedar top on this one makes it a bit special. It is extremely well built and a treat to play. It has a clear and very well balanced voice that makes it suitable for all kinds of music, regardless of whether you play with your fingers or a pick. Please check out the provided sound sample.
Built in electronics make this guitar even more versatile.
This guitar was built in 2019 and remains in near mint condition. A couple of tiny shirt button scratches in the middle of the back (see the included photo) are the only flaws of any significance. These scratches are REALLY difficult to see; I missed them myself in the initial appraisal! Otherwise, this guitar is like new and the frets are flawless. It comes in it's original brown Taylor case, also in near mint condition.
If you have wanted a high-end acoustic with all the frills that can do most everything, this marvelous 814ce Deluxe Cedar warrants your consideration. Make this lightly played 2019 example yours for a bunch less than a new one. Very nice indeed!
