Taylor Builder's Edition 914ce Honduran Rosewood / Redwood Next Generation

Overview

The Taylor Builder’s Edition 914ce Next Generation pairs rare tonewoods with Taylor’s refined Builder’s Edition design philosophy. Featuring a sinker redwood top and Honduran rosewood back and sides, this Grand Auditorium offers a warm, responsive voice with remarkable depth and clarity. Redwood provides a quick, touch-sensitive response with rich harmonic overtones, while Honduran rosewood contributes strong low-end presence, shimmering highs, and complex tonal layering.

Builder’s Edition instruments are designed to enhance both tone and comfort. Subtle ergonomic refinements, premium materials, and Taylor’s precise craftsmanship make the 914ce exceptionally comfortable to play while maintaining excellent projection and balance. The Grand Auditorium body shape ensures versatility across fingerstyle, strumming, and recording applications, while Taylor’s Expression System 2 electronics provide natural amplified performance.
