Nylon-String Elegance and Performance – The Taylor 814ce-N Acoustic Electric Nylon String Guitar
Players looking to add a new sound to their musical toolkit will appreciate the snappy neo-classical tone of the Taylor 814ce-N, a nylon-string Grand Auditorium acoustic-electric with solid Indian rosewood back and sides. Rosewood’s rich low-end response and sparkling treble range gain additional projection and clarity from the Sitka spruce top, ensuring incredible definition and articulation. Modern player-friendly features include a fretboard featuring a comfortable 20″ radius and a 1-7/8″ nut width, which keeps things adequately spaced for fingerstyle arrangements without putting strain on your fretting hand. Elegant appointments in wood and mother-of-pearl, along with the built-in ES-N pickup, complete the package.
Grand Auditorium
Taylor’s signature shape embodies the ultimate all-purpose acoustic.
Indian Rosewood
The tonewood superstar. Popular, traditional, and versatile, Bob Taylor puts Indian rosewood among the greatest tonewoods ever.
Sitka Spruce
The soundboard choice for most guitars, Sitka spruce produces a broad dynamic range and accommodates a versatile range of playing styles.
ES-N®
This under-saddle transducer was designed for Taylor nylon-string models.
Venetian Cutaway
The Venetian cutaway is known for its soft, round lines. The sloping peak of the cutaway will vary depending on the shape of the body.
