Taylor Builder’s Edition K14ce

Crafted to deliver an ultra-refined playing experience with tone and comfort to match, the Builder’s Edition K14ce is a Grand Auditorium acoustic-electric guitar designed to the exacting preferences of our master guitar designer, Andy Powers.

Back and sides of solid, beautifully grained Hawaiian koa produce warm lows and crisp, clear treble notes, with the specially roasted spruce top adding a bit of aged sweetness. Builder’s Edition special features include a beveled armrest and cutaway, chamfered body and fretboard edges, and our Silent Satin finish, with an artful Spring Vine inlay that tops off the visual details.

The Builder’s Edition K14ce ships with ES2 electronics and a deluxe hardshell case.

FEATURES

Grand Auditorium
Taylor’s signature shape embodies the ultimate all-purpose acoustic.

Hawaiian Koa
Few woods carry the allure of Hawaiian koa, with its gorgeous figure and sweet, complex tone.

Torrefied Spruce
Treated with our special roasting process, torrefied spruce tops deliver all the clarity, balance and projection you’d expect from a traditional spruce top with an extra dash of warmth and played-in depth.

Expression System® 2
The Expression System® 2 captures more of a guitar’s dynamic properties using a breakthrough behind-the-saddle design.

Beveled Cutaway
Our beveled cutaway design provides a more player-friendly feel for guitarists who utilize every inch of the fretboard. It features a compound design with a smoothened edge along the corner of the body between the end of the cutaway and the neck heel, providing a more comfortable feel for the fretting hand.

V-Class Bracing
Our patented V-Class bracing is a revolutionary new pattern — a new sonic engine — that marks a major shift away from traditional steel-string bracing patterns.
