Sound Pure's Take

Condition: Used, Excellent

SP Luthier Notes: This instrument has been carefully inspected and, if necessary, serviced by our certified luthier to ensure it is in excellent playing condition.

Channeling unmatched nylon-string elegance, this Taylor 814ce-N is a breathtaking platform for expressive songwriting and a deeply inspiring artistic investment! Crafted with a solid Sitka spruce top and solid Indian rosewood back and sides, this Grand Auditorium delivers rich harmonic depth, crystalline clarity, and smooth dynamic projection. The tropical mahogany neck paired with a West African Crelicam ebony fingerboard provides fluid playability across every fret, while elegant maple binding and mother-of-pearl inlays bring striking aesthetic charm. Meticulously cared for with attentive labor, this unique specimen arrives in supremely playable condition, offering complete structural integrity that ensures total performance reliability. Equipped with Taylor's ES-N pickup system for natural plugged-in tone and weighing just 4 pounds 4 ounces, this nylon-string masterpiece elevates your music with pure acoustic warmth!
