Taylor Next Generation 814ce LTD Cocobolo Acoustic-Electric – Natural
*Please note - as a company policy, serial numbers have been covered to reduce fraudulent activity.
The Taylor Next Generation 814ce LTD Cocobolo represents a stunning evolution of one of Taylor’s most iconic acoustic-electric models. This guitar is in mint condition and was removed from the box only for inspection, testing, and photography. Electronics function flawlessly and sound exceptional both acoustically and plugged in. Includes the original Taylor deluxe hardshell case, paperwork, and case candy.
This limited-edition 814ce pairs Taylor’s innovative Next Generation design upgrades with breathtaking premium tonewoods, resulting in an instrument that is equally refined, powerful, and inspiring to play. From delicate fingerstyle passages to aggressive strumming, this guitar responds with remarkable balance, clarity, warmth, and projection.
At the heart of this guitar is a beautifully voiced combination of a solid Sitka spruce top and highly figured cocobolo back and sides. Cocobolo — a prized member of the rosewood family often compared to Brazilian rosewood — delivers deep, piano-like lows, rich harmonic overtones, and shimmering high-end detail. Combined with the articulate response of Sitka spruce, the result is an exceptionally dynamic and luxurious sounding instrument. This example is especially resonant with outstanding sustain and note separation, making it equally suited for recording, live performance, and solo playing.
One of the standout features of the Next Generation 814ce is Taylor’s Scalloped V-Class bracing, a refined evolution of Andy Powers’ groundbreaking V-Class architecture. This updated design preserves the signature balance, sustain, and pitch accuracy V-Class is known for while adding a warmer, fuller low-end response more reminiscent of a great vintage X-braced acoustic. Chords bloom with rich harmonic depth while single notes remain focused, articulate, and incredibly clear all the way up the neck. The result is a guitar that feels alive and responsive in every playing style.
Equipped with Taylor’s new Claria electronics system, the Next Generation 814ce delivers one of the most natural plugged-in acoustic tones Taylor has produced to date. The under-saddle pickup and powerful onboard preamp provide warm, detailed acoustic tone with minimal EQ required. Simple soundhole-mounted controls for Volume, Tone, and Mid Contour make it easy to dial in an outstanding live or studio sound within seconds.
The mahogany neck features Taylor’s ultra-comfortable Standard Carve profile paired with a smooth Crelicam ebony fingerboard and 15” radius for effortless playability. Taylor’s innovative Action Control neck system allows for precise neck angle adjustments with ease, ensuring long-term serviceability and consistently excellent action.
