814e Select Rosewood, Sitka Spruce Top, Grand Auditorium,
6-String, Cutaway, Taylor’s popular acoustic/electric 814e shines
as a superb all-purpose guitar. Its balance, warmth and
articulation are great for fingerstyle, it has enough punch as a
strummer to front a band, and the top-end power will fuel lead
runs without getting shrill. Equipped with Taylor Expression
System 2 electronics, it makes a great choice for a gigging
player looking for one guitar that can cover it all. The
revoicing of the 800 Series has brought greater warmth, a more
mature midrange, and a looser, more luxurious low end, thanks in
part to the customized bracing and a new, custom-calibrated
Elixir HD Light string gauge set. Premium appointments include
maple binding and back strip, rosewood top edge trim, rosewood
pickguard, Element fretboard inlay, and smoky ebony fretboard.
