Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Taylor’s Next Generation 814ce Sunset Blvd is a right-handed Grand Auditorium acoustic-electric built with a solid Sitka spruce top, solid Indian rosewood back and sides, and V-Class bracing. The body is presented as balanced across fingerstyle and strumming, while the Venetian cutaway reaches the upper register. Claria electronics place Volume, Mid-Contour and Tone controls onboard for amplified work. Action Control allows string-height adjustment without taking off the neck or strings.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Moving between fingerstyle passages and strummed parts on one Grand Auditorium acoustic-electric
- Amplified performances needing onboard Volume, Mid-Contour and Tone adjustment
- Adjusting string height without removing the neck or strings
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
