A richer, more vibrant voice than ever before thanks to customized bracing You'll notice that the Taylor 814ce-N boasts exceptionally vibrant tones with a unique character. Taylor went back to the drawing board and redesigned their bracing patterns, to get the optimum response out of each of their iconic body shapes. Taylor even added side bracing to add rigidity to the sides and enhance top and back movement. In the words of luthier Andy Powers, the updated Advanced Performance bracing pattern gives the updated 814ce-N a "nice, cushy swell and long sustain, even with a delicate touch."Grand Auditorium body style, for exceptional resonance and clarity Taylor's beloved Grand Auditorium body style employs the width and depth of a dreadnought. However, its waist is narrower, which gives Grand Auditorium-bodied acoustic guitars a sleeker look, with more treble zing. The Taylor 814ce-N's body style also helps to sharpen the definition of each note. When used for a traditionally small-bodied classical instrument, the sonic result is breathtaking - and like nothing you've heard before.Exceptional tone, volume, and balance thanks to custom-tailored wood thickness One of the things we like best about Taylor at Sweetwater is that their various body styles are designed for specific purposes, allowing you to choose a guitar that's the perfect match for your style. With the 814ce-N, Taylor takes that to another level by carefully matching the thickness of the spruce top and rosewood back and sides to the body style. They determined what the optimum wood thickness for the 814ce-N's Grand Auditorium body would be, to give you maximum tone and light weight while also being equally strong. Taylor is also using real animal protein glue (fish, in fact) instead of synthetic glue. Luthiers have been using protein glues for centuries for their incredible strength, and also for their tone. Protein glue optimizes transfer of vibrations and also holds amazingly well, which means you're sure to get a lifetime of fantastic tone from the Taylor 814ce-N acoustic-electric guitar.Premium plugged-in tone with Taylor's ES-N electronics Designed to faithfully reproduce the Taylor 814ce-N's native tone, Taylor's ES-N system uses patented Dynamic Sensors - optimized for nylon strings - to capture top and string vibration like never before. The Taylor ES-N system is seamlessly integrated into the design of the guitar from the ground up. You can use the onboard tone controls to give your sound added flavor, or set them flat if you want an uncolored, exceptionally clean sound.Taylor 814ce-N Nylon-string Classical Acoustic-electric Guitar Features: Grand Auditorium body style gives you a dreadnought-esque projection with a more expressive upper register Sitka spruce top provides a light and expressive sound Indian rosewood back and sides add clarity and projection Graceful Venetian cutaway gives you access all the way up the fingerboard Onboard Taylor ES-N electronics give you natural sound even when plugged in live Hardshell case included SpecificationDetail String Type Nylon Number of Strings 6 Body Shape Grand Auditorium Body Style Single Cutaway Left-/Right-handed Right-handed Finish Gloss Top Wood Sitka Spruce Back & Sides Wood Indian Rosewood Body Bracing Advanced Performance Bracing Binding Pale Maple Neck Wood Tropical Mahogany Radius 20" Fingerboard Material Ebony Fingerboard Inlay Mother-of-Pearl Element Number of Frets 20 Scale Length 25.5" Tuning Machines Taylor Slot Head Tuners Nut/Saddle Material Tusq Nut/Micarta Saddle Nut Width 1.875" Electronics ES-N Strings D'addario Pro Arte Carbon Case/Gig Bag Hardshell Case Body Length 20" Body Width 16" Body Depth 4.625" RETURN INFORMATION We want you to be completely happy with your purchase from Sweetwater.
