Description
The Taylor 814ce LTD Cocobolo represents a rare and refined evolution of Taylor's flagship acoustic-electric model; it's a next-generation 814ce outfitted with visually and tonally stunning cocobolo back and sides, built for discerning players who want that unmistakable Taylor balance with an extra dose of boldness and beauty. Whether you're a seasoned stage performer, studio songwriter, or solo player looking for a guitar that can truly do it all, this limited-run 814ce delivers a powerful combination of depth, clarity, and comfort that stands out in any musical context.
Cocobolo isn't just a visual stunner, it's a boutique tonewood known for its articulate high end, rich low-mid warmth, and sparkling harmonic complexity. Paired here with a solid Sitka spruce top and Taylor's new Scalloped V-Class bracing, the result is a voice that blooms with volume and sustain while maintaining that signature Taylor clarity. The scalloped bracing gives this Grand Auditorium a bit more air and body, softening the edges while retaining pitch accuracy and dynamic response across the neck. The result is a blend of precision and soul, perfect for everything from fingerstyle finesse to strummed accompaniment.
Plugged in, Taylor's Claria electronics take center stage. After years of refinement alongside touring pros, Claria delivers Taylor's most player-friendly system yet. With a single under-saddle transducer and powerful onboard preamp, it captures the guitar's natural acoustic tone with warmth, focus, and almost no fuss. The soundhole-mounted controls, Volume, Tone, and Mid-Contour, let you shape your voice quickly onstage without sacrificing any detail in your sound. It's a true plug-and-play system that brings out the best in your performance without overcomplicating the signal chain.
The neck is classic Taylor: smooth, fast, and infinitely comfortable. Crafted from Neo-Tropical mahogany with a satin finish, it features a Standard Carve profile and a 15" ebony fingerboard that feels elegant and easy under the fingers. And thanks to Taylor's Action Control neck system, you can fine-tune the neck angle in minutes without removing the strings, a revolutionary feature that gives you full control over your setup and eliminates the need for invasive neck resets down the line.
Topped off with refined 814ce appointments like a radiused rosewood armrest, natural maple binding, and stunning inlays, this limited-run Cocobolo model is as much a joy to look at as it is to play. It ships in a hardshell case, stage-ready and studio-approved.
At Cream City Music, we're always on the hunt for guitars that push the envelope without abandoning their roots. This 814ce LTD Cocobolo checks every box; it's elegant, expressive, and built for players who want the best of what Taylor has to offer, with a rare tonewood twist that sets it apart from the pack.
