The Taylor Builder's Edition 614ce is an exquisite acoustic-electric guitar that showcases Taylor's commitment to innovation and craftsmanship. It is part of Taylor's prestigious Builder's Edition series, which represents the pinnacle of Taylor guitar design and features several player-focused enhancements.
The Builder's Edition 614ce boasts a Grand Auditorium body shape, which strikes a balance between comfort and tonal versatility. The top is crafted from solid torrefied Sitka spruce, a special aging process that enhances the wood's tonal properties and responsiveness. The back and sides are made of solid figured maple, which adds clarity, projection, and a stunning aesthetic appeal.
One of the standout features of the Builder's Edition 614ce is the innovative V-Class bracing. This unique bracing design improves the guitar's sustain, volume, and intonation by enhancing the overall resonance and stability of the instrument. It also improves the guitar's tonal balance and clarity, resulting in a more harmonically rich and focused sound.
The neck of the Builder's Edition 614ce is crafted from tropical mahogany and features Taylor's ergonomic armrest bevel, providing enhanced comfort and reducing fatigue during long playing sessions. The fingerboard is made of West African Crelicam ebony, which offers a smooth playing surface and contributes to the guitar's excellent note definition and sustain.
Equipped with Taylor's Expression System 2 (ES2) electronics, the Builder's Edition 614ce delivers a natural and dynamic amplified sound. The ES2 system faithfully captures the guitar's acoustic tone, ensuring that your plugged-in performances retain the same organic character and response as the unplugged sound.
Additional features of the Builder's Edition 614ce include a beveled cutaway for easy access to the upper frets, Gotoh 510 tuners for precise and reliable tuning stability, and a contoured neck heel for improved upper-fret access.
