Taylor 814CE Grand Auditorium Electro Acoustic Guitar with Case (pre-owned)

Played-in beauty with legendary voice.

The 814CE is where Taylor’s Grand Auditorium design truly shines and this 2000 example carries that legendary voice with elegance and warmth. Its Sitka spruce top and Indian rosewood back and sides combine for a rich, balanced tone that sings across every register. Articulate enough for fingerstyle, robust enough for strumming and resonant enough to fill any room.

Played and enjoyed for over two decades, it shows modest fret wear and slight tarnish on the tuners, along with gentle surface scratches and marks that tell the story of a well-loved instrument. There’s a some lacquer checking on the front near the lower bout on the treble side, adding character rather than distraction and while the original hard case has seen better days with the handle broken off, the guitar itself remains solid, reliable and inspiring to play.

Every note rings with clarity and sustain, a hallmark of Taylor’s precision craftsmanship, and it responds effortlessly to both soft nuance and aggressive attack. For a player who values tone, touch and the lived-in feel of a seasoned instrument, this 814CE is ready to continue its journey with the next owner.
