Up for sale, a 2011 Taylor 814ce in excellent, 100% original condition and in perfect working order, complete with the original hardshell case. This Grand Auditorium cutaway acoustic features a CV-braced Sitka spruce top, Indian rosewood back and sides, tropical mahogany neck, and bound ebony fingerboard, outfitted with Taylor’s Expression System 1 electronics.

This Taylor offers the sparkle, clarity, and detail for which the brand is known, yet with an underlying warmth and depth that lends itself to a variety of genres and playing styles. The 1 3/4” nut is ideal for fingerpicking, and the cutaway ensures easy access to the highest registers for complex chords and lead work. Taylor's Expression System 1 electronics utilize a unique Dynamic Body Sensor magnet mounted to the soundboard, a Dynamic String Sensor embedded beneath the fretboard, and a discrete preamp to faithfully reproduce and preserve the instrument’s natural tone. This 814ce weighs 4lbs 13oz, professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 12-53 bronze strings and easy-playing action.
