With the Taylor 914ce LTD, the Californian cult manufacturer presents a limited Grand Auditorium Western guitar, which convinces both visually and sonically due to its unusual wood combination, consisting of sinker redwood and East Indian rosewood. In addition to detailed ornamentation, the strictly limited special edition features all the amenities that the manufacturer has to offer for its high-end instruments, such as an armrest, the in-house Taylor Expression System 2 and a sturdy molded case. Due to its unique composition of the finest materials, the instrument is limited to only a few copies worldwide.
Made from rare sinker redwood and East Indian rosewood
Coast redwood from the rivers of California
Sinker Redwood: A rare raw material from northern California.
To produce a rich and warm tone, the manufacturer Taylor uses a rough-grained top made of sinker redwood for the 914ce LTD. The rare redwood is obtained from already felled trunks, some of which have lain under water for up to a century and can therefore vary greatly in grain, giving the sound a very unique character. In addition to warm overtones that are particularly long-lasting thanks to the V-Class bracing developed by Andy Powers, the material allows an almost attack with expressive bass frequencies that perfectly complement the sound image. The reddish wood is framed with an ebony binding that merges into an armrest on the upper rib, ensuring perfect playability. Furthermore, the Binding is additionally decorated with inlays of paua and Hawaiian koa, which gives the overall appearance a very noble touch and perfectly matches the single ring paua soundhole rosette.
Back and sides made of even Macassar ebony wood
Rosewood from India
Another highlight of the thoroughly successful Grand Auditorium model is the body made of East Indian rosewood, which perfectly complements the overall sound with its clear note. The even grain of the opened tone wood with its light and dark color gradients gives the instrument a noble and symmetrical appearance, which is further emphasized by a very thin varnish. The body is delimited by a koa backstrip and a corresponding purfling, which creates a tasteful transition to the other components of the body. Also, the delicate bracing of the back favors the strong vibration behavior of the entire construction and allows for a perfect sound development even at low strums, so that besides powerful strummings also fine Pickings can be fully appreciated.
The flat mahogany neck is the heart of the guitar
An excellent playing feel thanks to a neck with perfect dimensions.
Only the finest materials are used in the neck construction of this special edition model as well, so that even the fingering of extensive sequences of notes and chords can be mastered with ease. The flat mahogany neck is fitted with a fingerboard made of West African ebony, decorated with detailed ascension inlays made of green abalone that mark the most important of the 20 frets. In tandem with a compensated Micarta bridge inlay, the 44.45mm-wide Black Graphite nut ensures clean intonation across the 648mm scale, while gold Gotoh 510 tuners with 1:21 ratios ensure clean tuning of the six steel strings. The signature Taylor headstock is adorned with a fine Mother-of-Pearl inlay set into a dark ebony overlay. Completing the overall work is an in-house Taylor Expression System 2, which can be individually adjusted via three pots in the frame.
