Taylor have impressed us with this New Taylor 814ce 800 Series Builders Edition Grand Auditorium Electro Acoustic (55552) in Guitars, it’s in stock, and ready to ship with fast, reliable delivery across the UK, Ireland, and Europe. For more details within Guitars, additional Acoustic Guitars options, full specifications, demos, images, videos, and secure online ordering, read on below.

Many musicians consider the 814ce as the quintessential Taylor acoustic guitar, thanks to its classic Rosewood/Spruce tonewood pairing in tandem with Taylor's flagship contemporary, cutaway Grand Auditorium body style. Together, the 814ce's rich tone, musical versatility and superb playability have given players a refined workhorse tool for many different playing techniques and musical applications. The 814ce model is now a part of Taylor's luxurious Builder's Edition collection — further enhancing its performance virtues with a raft of premium craftsmanship details.

Among the suite of material refinements are a soundboard upgrade, from solid Sitka Spruce to a carefully matched four-piece top of solid Adirondack Spruce. The high-end craftsmanship reflected in the Builder's Edition philosophy acknowledges the evolving future of the world's forests, where a great soundboard will require careful woodworking joinery to utilize smaller sizes of the high-grade timber preferred for an heirloom instrument. The artful craftsmanship yields a high-quality soundboard and displays a beautifully consistent grain structure.

Key Features

  • Indian Rosewood Back & Sides — Yields crisp highs that are balanced by a deep, woody low-end that emerges as the guitar is played in.
  • West African Crelicam Ebony Fingerboard — A dark and silky-smooth material that adds brightness and snap into the tonal equation.

  • Included Deluxe Hardshell Case — An essential accessory for protecting and transporting the guitar to rehearsals, performances and recording sessions.

Stuff About Acoustic Guitars

Acoustic guitars produce their sound naturally through the vibration of the strings and body, offering a direct and expressive playing experience. They come in a wide range of styles, including steel string and classical designs, each with its own feel and tonal character. Body shape, wood choice, and construction all influence warmth, projection, and balance, making acoustics suitable for everything from gentle fingerstyle to confident strumming. Whether used for songwriting, practice, or performance, acoustic guitars provide a simple, honest connection between the player and the music.

Stuff About Electro-Acoustic Guitars

Electro-acoustic guitars combine the natural sound and feel of an acoustic guitar with built-in electronics for amplification. Fitted with pickups and preamp controls, they allow you to plug directly into an amp, PA system, or recording setup while retaining an acoustic character. They’re ideal for live performance, rehearsal, and home recording, offering volume control and tonal adjustment without relying solely on microphones. Electro-acoustic guitars suit players who want the warmth and responsiveness of an acoustic instrument with the flexibility to play amplified when needed.

Stuff About Guitars

Guitars cover a wide range of instruments designed to suit different styles, techniques, and sounds, from acoustic and classical models to solid body, semi-hollow, and hollow electric designs. Factors like body shape, scale length, neck profile, string type, and pickups all influence how a guitar feels and responds, making each type suited to different players and musical approaches. Whether used for rhythm, lead, songwriting, or experimentation, guitars are expressive, versatile instruments that form the heart of countless genres and playing styles.
