2021 Taylor 914ce (East Indian Rosewood/Sitka) played by Matt Thomas

2021 Taylor 914ce East Indian rosewood/Sitka Spruce
Just arrived to Cedar rock is this like new Taylor 914ce.Our 900 Series stands out as our most luxurious class of rosewood guitars, blending a raft of tone-enhancing details with premium aesthetic features. The 914ce acoustic-electric Grand Auditorium boasts V-Class™ bracing, which functions as a new sonic engine for the guitar. Not only does it enhance the volume and sustain, it also changes the soundboard movement in a way that improves the guitar’s natural intonation, or “in-tuneness.” The result is more power in the upper register and more harmonic agreement between all fretted notes, which helps chord voicings sing like never before. Players who love the deep lows and sparkling highs of rosewood will appreciate how well behaved the overtones are as notes bloom. Premium features include a beveled ebony armrest that makes your picking/strumming arm more comfortable, along with Gotoh 510 tuners, whose 21:1 gear ratio allows for precise tuning. Refined appointments include ebony binding, our Ascension fretboard/peghead inlay in paua and pearl, a paua rosette with koa and ebony purfling, and paua/koa trim along much of the body and neck. All V-Class guitars feature a black graphite nut and a new guitar label that bears the signature of master guitar designer Andy Powers.
Grand Auditorium Shape - Taylor’s signature shape embodies the ultimate all-purpose acoustic.
Sitka Spruce Top Wood - The soundboard choice for most guitars, Sitka spruce produces a broad dynamic range and accommodates a versatile range of playing styles.
Indian Rosewood Body Wood - The tonewood superstar. Popular, traditional, and versatile, Bob Taylor puts Indian rosewood among the greatest tonewoods ever.
Expression System® 2 Electronics - Captures more of a guitar’s dynamic properties using a breakthrough behind-the-saddle design.
Venetian Cutaway - Is known for its soft, round lines. The sloping peak of the cutaway will vary depending on the shape of the guitar.
V-Class Bracing - A revolutionary design that balances the flexibility and stability of the top, V-Class bracing produces unmatched sustain, volume, and intonation.

Man ive seen demos of this guitar and I was a little skeptical, but the recording quality and mic set up on this demo was impeccable and has convinced me to buy one for sure! Amazing demo and playing! thanks so much! Youre a great player!

[@monkeyfinger7949]

The guitar is for sure really great. The mic/recording set up was perfect. Matt's playing blew me away. This was the best demo of a guitar ever, and the harmonics that came off the guitar were other worldly! Great job Matt!

After having a Martin OMJM binding come undone on me after only two years of owning it Taylor’s build quality remains undefeated ! I literally have a 1998 all koa grand concert that I bought used and that thing is a tank !

[@soultylive]

That piece @5:29 wow...illuminates so much all the harmonics that guitar can show up

[@DaltonPhantom]

Thanks for the review, Matt! You're very good!

[@NetMillionaire]

Absolutely stunning guitar 🎸! Super playing! The tone on this guitar is simply outstanding, looks stunning too! I just bought one ☝️ and I find myself playing it for hours on end!
I tested lots of Taylor’s and nearly pulled the trigger on a 3 series builders edition, until I saw this and played it!
It blew me away!
Not cheap but after a few days playing it, I can happily say it’s more than worth it!
I get lost in those tones and find myself playing for hours on end! what about you?

[@AntarcticGuitarEnthusiast]

I completely agree! Please see my comment..this is all a compliment. Peace and Maximum Respect

[@dezmonseth674]

@@robdonell9915 I believe it's dadgad tuning.

[@beamannydanny]

Sure it's a damn nice guitar but your playing stole the show man. Great stuff :)

[@kaushalsuvarna5156]

I agree, not generally a fan of the Taylor tone, but this was special

[@robdonell9915]

Hi, did you used to work at Allegro Music in Fremont, California (early 2000s ) ? If so, you did indeed help me understand acoustic laminated vs solid top guitars.
