If you are looking for high-quality guitar construction, the Taylor 814ce Acoustic guitar features a Sitka spruce top and Indian rosewood construction that give this instrument incredible clarity and tone. Offered in the Grand Auditorium shape, a Venetian cutaway offers access to the upper regions of the ebony fretboard. The guitar is built at a robust 25 1/2-inch scale length with a body length of 20 inches. Performing musicians who can only afford a single high-quality guitar will appreciate the balance and intonation that offers flexibility from fingerpicking to strumming. Customized and enhanced bracing really brings out the low end on this guitar without sacrificing a midrange that is colorful and resonant. Mother-of-pearl inlays and a marbled fretboard top off the visual appeal of this powerful, all-purpose performing guitar.
