Taylor C14ce Builder's Edition Grand Auditorium – Striped Western Red Cedar/Mahogany

Warm. Earthy. Unmistakably Builder's Edition.

The Taylor C14ce Builder's Edition is a fingerstyle-forward Grand Auditorium that pairs the woody, dry midrange of mahogany with the lush, overtone-rich warmth of a striped Western Red cedar top. The result is an acoustic that rewards a lighter touch — nuanced, responsive, and deeply musical right out of the case.

Why the C14ce Stands Apart

• V-Class Bracing — Taylor's proprietary interior architecture delivers exceptional tonal balance, intonation accuracy, and uniform responsiveness across the entire fretboard.
• Striped Western Red Cedar Top — Cedar's quick response and warm overtone complexity make this guitar an ideal partner for fingerpickers and singer-songwriters.
• Mahogany Back & Sides — Focused, dry midrange that keeps the mix clear and the tone grounded without sacrificing warmth.
• Beveled Armrest & Cutaway — Builder's Edition ergonomics with chamfered body edges for a smoother, fatigue-free playing experience.
• Expression System 2 Electronics — Taylor's acclaimed under-the-saddle pickup system for natural, stage-ready amplified tone.
• Vintage-Inspired Aesthetics — Hand-sprayed shaded edgeburst, 900 Series peghead inlay (2001–2010 era), Large Engraved Diamond MOP fretboard inlays, and Gotoh 510 Antique Chrome tuners.
