Taylor 814CE Next Generation 2026

• Versatile Grand Auditorium with broad cross-genre utility

• Indian rosewood and spruce yield balanced, textured voice

• Scalloped V-Class bracing adds more volume and sustain

• Action Control Neck makes string height adjustments quick and easy

• Includes Claria electronics and hardshell case

With a long history of inspiring players across genres and styles, Taylor's flagship Grand Auditorium now showcases even more player-focused design elements. This model sports the beloved pairing of Indian rosewood and Sitka spruce, which yield a lush overtone profile to complement top-end clarity and a rich bass range. Inside, our scalloped V-Class bracing framework dials up more power, longer sustain and improved harmony between notes all the way up the fretboard. Other upgrades include a radius-style rosewood armrest, the long-tenon Action Control Neck for unmatched adjustability and resonance, and new Claria electronics, which feature soundhole-mounted controls and a mid-contour knob that makes it easy to dial in the perfect amplified sound. Other details include Element fretboard inlays, a rosewood pickguard, maple binding and a full-body gloss finish. It ships with a deluxe hardshell case.
