Taylor Next-Gen 814ce LTD - Casablanca Beige Metallic Top

Porsche-Inspired Aesthetics Meet Next-Generation Acoustic Innovation

The Guitar Sanctuary is proud to present the limited-edition Taylor Next-Gen 814ce LTD in a rare Casablanca Beige Metallic finish. Inspired by a late-1970s Porsche paint code, the top reveals subtle shifting shades of pale gold as light moves across its metallic sheen.  This special limited run is a customized version of the updated Next-Gen 814CE, which is built around Taylor's flagship Grand Auditorium body shape with solid Indian Rosewood back and sides paired with a solid Sitka Spruce top, this instrument marries classic luxury tone with cutting-edge lutherie.

This Next-Gen model debuts Scalloped V-Class Bracing for deeper low-end fullness and open-string richness, alongside the on-the-fly adjustable Action Control Neck and the all-new Claria Pickup System for natural plugged-in tone. Visual appointments include a radiused Indian Rosewood armrest, Mother-of-Pearl Windansea fretboard inlays, a Firestripe pickguard, Maple body binding, and Taylor Smoked Nickel tuners.
