Builder's Edition 614ce Acoustic-Electric Guitar - Whiskey Honey Burst

Taylor Builder's Edition 614ce Acoustic-Electric Guitar – Whiskey Honey Burst

The Taylor Builder's Edition 614ce in Whiskey Honey Burst is a visually stunning and sonically bold Grand Auditorium crafted for players who demand refined comfort and top-tier tone. Featuring a solid torrefied Sitka spruce top and solid figured maple back and sides, this guitar offers a transparent, punchy voice with crisp articulation and quick response. Taylor's V-Class bracing and thoughtful Builder's Edition enhancements make it an inspiring, high-performance instrument for both stage and studio.

Torrefied Sitka Spruce for Instant Vintage Tone

The solid torrefied Sitka spruce top has been heat-treated to replicate the tonal characteristics of a vintage instrument. This process removes moisture and resins, resulting in a top that's lighter, more responsive, and delivers immediate warmth and complexity typically found only in well-played guitars. You get vintage tone without the decades of break-in time.

Figured Maple for Clarity and Visual Beauty

Solid figured maple back and sides provide exceptional note separation, crisp articulation, and a focused midrange that cuts through any mix. The stunning flame maple figuring is highlighted by the Whiskey Honey Burst finish, creating a guitar that looks as premium as it sounds. Maple's reflective tonal properties make this guitar ideal for recording, live performance, and any application where clarity matters.

V-Class Bracing for Superior Performance

Taylor's revolutionary V-Class bracing architecture enhances volume, sustain, and intonation across the entire fretboard. Notes ring true from the first fret to the highest, with improved harmonic agreement between strings. This patented design delivers professional-grade performance that players and engineers immediately notice.

Builder's Edition Comfort and Refinement

The Builder's Edition series represents Taylor's most refined playing experience. The beveled armrest provides all-day comfort, while the contoured cutaway offers effortless upper-fret access. The Silent Satin finish feels smooth and natural under your hands, reducing friction for faster playing. Every detail has been considered to enhance your connection with the instrument.

Expression System® 2 Electronics

The Taylor Expression System® 2 captures the guitar's natural acoustic voice with exceptional clarity and detail. Behind-the-saddle sensors deliver transparent amplified tone without the artificial qualities of traditional undersaddle pickups, making this guitar stage-ready for any performance venue.
