Patented V-Class Bracing Meets Rosewood & Spruce Taylor's revolutionary V-Class bracing helps improve sustain and volume, and behaves like an acoustic transducer for the top of guitar. In addition to enhancing volume and sustain, it manipulates the soundboard energy in a way that improves intonation. This yields greater volume and power in the upper register and improves the sonic arrangement of fundamental notes and overtones. Paired with rich-sounding rosewood and Sitka spruce in Taylor's versatile Grand Auditorium shape, this 814ce still has all the tonal depth, complexity, and versatility as it did before, but with more overtones, sustain, and sonic horsepower. 800 Series Tonal and Aesthetic Refinements Taylor's 800 Series is the culmination of tone-enhancing options and elegant aesthetic refinements, all of which were selected by master luthier and guitar designer, Andy Powers. A thinner, 3.5 mil finish allows for greater resonance, customized wood thicknesses optimize the projection of the Grand Auditorium body shape, and hide glue adhesives employ a greater transfer of energy. Mother-of-pearl Element inlays for the fretboard and headstock complement the natural, smoky ebony fretboard and headstock overlay. Maple bindings, rosewood top trim, a rosewood pickguard, and a striking abalone rosette trimmed with rosewood round out the stunning aesthetics. Amazing Acoustic Amplification The Taylor Expression System 2 is simply an amazing achievement in the world of acoustic amplification.
