TAYLOR USED Next Generation 814ce Taylor

Taylor Guitars Next Generation Series is born.

Approximately eight years after the birth of V-Class bracing, Taylor Guitars' "Next Generation Series" was completed after years of design verification and incorporating feedback from players around the world.

At its core is the latest evolution of Scalloped V-Class bracing.
While retaining the V-shaped structure that suppresses unwanted twisting of the top wood, the bracing is scalloped to bring out the body top's inherent vibrations in a more natural way, maximizing its potential.
The lower register produces a warmer, deeper sound, and the open strings have a rich resonance with a sense of airiness. The V-class features, such as accurate pitch, directness of sound, and excellent projection that prevents the sound from getting lost in an ensemble, are also retained.
With fingerstyle playing, you'll experience a three-dimensional, deep response, while with strumming, you'll feel a full core tone and clear projection.

One of the key features of this model is the newly developed Action Control Neck, which allows for simultaneous control of playability and sound.
By employing a long tenon neck joint, the efficiency of vibration transmission with the body is enhanced, resulting in a warm tone and rich sustain.
Furthermore, simply adjusting the bolt inside the soundhole allows for quick and precise string height adjustments, providing flexibility to adapt to changes in playing style, season, and environment without having to remove the neck or strings.
This neck construction, unique to Taylor guitars, not only provides ease of playing but also directly impacts the attack and response of the sound.

This particular model is part of Taylor's flagship 800 series, which now boasts a global reputation and high market share.
This guitar combines classic wood materials—a Sitka spruce top and Indian rosewood sides and back—with carefully selected, high-quality materials.
The 814ce, featuring a grand auditorium cutaway shape, is a model that achieves a high level of balance between excellent sound response, clear tonal definition, rich volume, and deep bass.

The neck is made of tropical mahogany and ebony.
Taylor's "Smoky Ebony" is a material that utilizes the unique characteristics of wood while also being environmentally conscious, and it makes no compromises in terms of strength or sound.
The moderately rounded, soft V-shaped neck grip fits naturally in the hand, providing a comfortable playing experience regardless of your playing style.
Furthermore, the 800 series boasts a unique appeal with its woody warmth and elegant look, featuring details such as elbow cuts, abalone inlays, and purfling.

Furthermore, it is equipped with the newly developed Claria pickup system.
This is Taylor's latest generation pickup system, developed with the concept of providing stable sound in all situations, from large hall stages to home playing environments.

The redesigned under-saddle piezo pickup combined with a dedicated preamplifier reduces the harshness and edginess often associated with conventional piezo pickups, enabling a wide range of tonal possibilities, from warm, full bass to clear, well-defined sounds.
It is less affected by the PA environment and volume levels, and maintains a natural sound image that always blends seamlessly into the mix, from solo performances to band ensembles.

This system is easy to use not only on live stages but also during rehearsals, home recording sessions, and practice sessions at home, making it highly practical.

Taylor, a brand that never stops evolving, presents the ultimate form of next-generation acoustic guitar.
Please experience its sound and playability for yourself.
