Taylor Builder's Edition 914ce Next Generation w/case

The Taylor Builder’s Edition 914ce Next Generation represents the top tier of Taylor’s Grand Auditorium lineup, combining premium tonewoods with their most advanced design features. Built with a solid spruce top and Indian rosewood back and sides, it delivers a richly textured voice with clear highs, deep low-end presence, and a slightly scooped midrange that stays balanced across styles. The updated scalloped V-Class bracing and Action Control Neck system enhance both resonance and adjustability, while Builder’s Edition contours ensure a smooth, comfortable playing experience. This is a high-performance acoustic designed for players who want maximum tonal depth without sacrificing feel or playability.
