Description
Blending a standout tonewood combo with a super-versatile body shape and Taylor’s latest player-first innovations, the 814ce LTD Cocobolo is a seriously tempting bit of kit for just about any guitarist. This limited-edition take on Taylor’s flagship Grand Auditorium pairs a solid Sitka Spruce top with stunning Cocobolo back and sides — a dense Mexican hardwood that not only looks incredible but delivers a clear, articulate top end with sparkling mids.
Player‑focused innovation, inside & out
Under the hood, scalloped V-Class bracing brings out extra low-end presence while boosting volume and sustain, giving the guitar a more focused, powerful voice. The long-tenon Action Control Neck improves overall resonance and makes fine-tuning your setup refreshingly easy, while the intuitive Claria electronics ensure you sound just as good plugged in as you do acoustically. Add the comfortable radius armrest into the mix and you’ve got a guitar that feels effortless to play, whether you’re on stage, in the studio or at home.
A real head‑turner
Finished off with some classy visual touches — Element shell fingerboard inlays, Maple binding, an abalone rosette, Rosewood pickguard and a glossy finish with a shaded edgeburst on the back and sides — this 814ce LTD isn’t just a joy to play, it’s an absolute looker too. A proper inspiration machine!Key Features
