A New Take on the 914ce
Meet the 914ce Special-edition Grand Auditorium, an acoustic-electric guitar representing the pinnacle of Taylor’s guitar-building expertise. This guitar’s tonewood recipe is certainly an interesting one, comprising a sinker redwood top, East Indian rosewood back and sides, a mahogany neck, and an ebony fingerboard. All the tonewoods work together to create a well-balanced sound with rich detail and exceptional projection. Playability is superb as well, thanks to the fan-favorite Taylor neck profile. You can take the 914ce onstage, too, thanks to built-in ES-2 electronics. With the 914ce, you’re purchasing far more than a luxurious acoustic guitar — you’re getting the next family heirloom.

Immaculate tonewoods
The 914ce Special-edition Grand Auditorium is made from the finest tonewoods. For starters, the salvaged sinker redwood top produces a detailed response with bold projection. Next up comes East Indian rosewood back and sides. Rosewood’s authoritative voice gives the guitar plenty of low-end power and a clear midrange. At Sweetwater, we find that the pairing of redwood and rosewood delivers equal measures of power, poise, and projection. If you’re after a unique twist on the rosewood-backed guitar, choose the 914ce Special-edition Grand Auditorium.
Graceful appointments
Due to its limited availability, Taylor lavished the 914ce with elite appointments that transformed the guitar into a work of art. The fingerboard is festooned with Taylor’s Cindy inlay design, which features graceful birds and elegant flowers. You also get stunning inlays on the headstock and bridge. But the pearl work doesn’t stop there. The 914ce features pearl inlays around the entire top, too. Best of all, Taylor kept playing comfort in mind by installing a luxurious armrest on the upper bout.
Superb satin-finished neck
Taylor fans absolutely adore the company’s signature neck profile. For those not in the know, you’re about to. The Taylor neck profile strikes the ideal balance between the friendly, chunky feel of an acoustic guitar neck and the thin, sleek nature of today’s electric guitars. You’ll find it’s equally comfortable when you’re strumming cowboy chords as it is when playing lead and melodies further up the neck. This particular neck has an inviting satin finish that feels incredible. Try it for yourself and see what all the hype is about.
