Experience the Tonal Revolution: The Taylor Custom Catch C14e 9-String.
Straight from the exclusive 2026 NAMM Catch Event, this custom C14e is a masterclass in modern luthiery, blending the lush, symphonic texture of a 12-string with the playability and focus of a 6-string.
Built on the "Next Generation" Grand Auditorium platform, this instrument features the pioneering Action Control Neck, allowing you to adjust string height instantly through the soundhole without removing strings or touching the truss rod.
The tonewood selection is elite: a premium Sitka Spruce top paired with rare Honduran Rosewood back and sides in a sophisticated 4-piece Simons Wedge configuration. This combination delivers a "cannon-like" projection with deep, warm lows and shimmering highs, further refined by the new Scalloped V-Class bracing.
As a 9-string model, it doubles the D, G, and B strings, providing a rich, natural chorus effect that adds immense depth to rhythm work and fingerstyle arrangements alike.
Finished with exquisite Cocobolo binding and a Dark Stained Sycamore pickguard, this is a rare, heirloom-quality instrument designed for the player who demands the absolute peak of Taylor’s 2026 innovations.
