Sound Pure's Take
Condition: Used, Very Good
SP Luthier Notes: A neck reset was performed to restore proper neck angle and action.
This Taylor 814 is a quintessential Grand Auditorium acoustic that showcases Taylor’s legendary craftsmanship and classic tone-wood pairing. Weighing 4 pounds 12 ounces, it combines a solid spruce top with solid rosewood back and sides for rich, booming lows, pristine highs, and exceptional dynamic range. A smooth mahogany neck is paired with an ebony fingerboard across 20 frets, highlighted by mother-of-pearl inlays, cream binding, and a matching rosewood headstock veneer. Outfitted with gold Taylor tuning machines and an abalone rosette, it comes equipped with a Fishman Acoustic Matrix Natural pickup system for clear, direct plugged-in response. Complete with a hardshell case, this elegant 814 delivers timeless balance, playability, and projection for both studio and stage.
