Each model in this family is the equivalent of his director’s cut version of its standard model counterpart, boasting premium woodworking details that refine the playing comfort on both the body and neck. The Builder’s Edition 614ce features our popular Grand Auditorium body, a torrefied Sitka spruce top, back and sides of figured Big Leaf maple, and our patented V-Class bracing. That combination yields an ultra-responsive, player-reflective sound, elevating maple’s natural transparency in a way that can sound warm, bright or whatever a player’s hands decide. The V-Class architecture improves the volume, sustain and projection, and creates more harmonic agreement between notes by putting the top more in tune with the strings. Our proprietary roasting process for the Sitka spruce top lowers the damping effect and helps deliver a more played-in tone. Ergonomic body details (exclusive to Builder’s Edition) include a beveled armrest with beveled body edge treatment; a double-carved cutaway that allows fluid access to the higher frets without the need to change one’s hand position; and our new Silent Satin finish, which reduces contact noise for a cleaner overall sound. Gold Gotoh 510 tuners (featuring a 21:1 gear ratio) complete the suite of tactile delights. Striking aesthetic details include a new Wild Honey Burst on the back, sides and neck (an optional burst-top version is also available), our mother-of-pearl Sceptor fretboard\/peghead inlay, and inset maple\/black body purfling with matching rosette. The guitar comes equipped with our ES2 electronics and ships in a deluxe hardshell case.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eScale Length:\u003c\/b\u003e 25-1\/2\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNut \u0026amp; Saddle: \u003c\/b\u003eBlack Graphite, Micarta saddle\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBracing:\u003c\/b\u003e V-Class\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTruss Rod Cover:\u003c\/b\u003e West African Ebony\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePickguard:\u003c\/b\u003e None\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNumber of Frets:\u003c\/b\u003e 20\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTuners: \u003c\/b\u003eGotoh\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCase: \u003c\/b\u003eTaylor Deluxe Hardshell Brown\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBody Length:\u003c\/b\u003e 20\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBody Width: \u003c\/b\u003e16\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBody Depth:\u003c\/b\u003e 4 5\/8\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding\/Edge Treatment: \u003c\/b\u003eWest African Ebony\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTop Finish: \u003c\/b\u003eSilent Satin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBack Config:\u003c\/b\u003e 2 or 3 piece No Wedge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBackstrap Finish:\u003c\/b\u003e None\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRosette Size:\u003c\/b\u003e Single Ring\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBridge Inlay:\u003c\/b\u003e None\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBack\/Side Finish:\u003c\/b\u003e Silent Satin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eArmrest Binding:\u003c\/b\u003e Beveled, no binding\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBackstrap Wood: \u003c\/b\u003eNone\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRosette Mat.:\u003c\/b\u003e Wood\/Fiber \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eStain\/Sunburst:\u003c\/b\u003e Wild Honey Burst Back\/Sides\/Neck, Natural Top\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWedge:\u003c\/b\u003e None\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eArmrest: \u003c\/b\u003eYes\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNeck Width:\u003c\/b\u003e 1-3\/4\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFretboard Inlay: \u003c\/b\u003eScepter, Mother of Pearl\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFretboard Binding\/Edge Treatment: \u003c\/b\u003eWest African Ebony\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eHeel Cap Binding: \u003c\/b\u003eWest African Ebony\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eType of Neck Joint:\u003c\/b\u003e Taylor Neck\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNeck\/Heel:\u003c\/b\u003e Hard Rock Maple\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFretboard Wood: \u003c\/b\u003eWest African Ebony\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNeck Finish: \u003c\/b\u003eSatin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eHeel Length: \u003c\/b\u003e3-1\/4\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePeghead Finish: \u003c\/b\u003eSatin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePeghead Binding:\u003c\/b\u003e None\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePeghead Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Standard\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePeghead Purfling:\u003c\/b\u003e None\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eHeadstock Overlay: \u003c\/b\u003eWest African Ebony\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePeghead Inlay:\u003c\/b\u003e Scepter, Mother of Pearl\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePeghead Logo: \u003c\/b\u003eTaylor Mother of Pearl\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBridge Pins: \u003c\/b\u003eWest African Ebony\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eButtons:\u003c\/b\u003e Gold\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFingerboard Ext:\u003c\/b\u003e None\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eEdge Trim:\u003c\/b\u003e None","brand":"Taylor","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":33929157247111,"sku":"A60300261100528S211-ERROR","price":3999.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0343\/4368\/2183\/products\/taylor-acoustic-guitars-om-and-auditorium-taylor-614ce-builder-s-edition-grand-auditorium-sitka-big-leaf-maple-natural-w-v-class-bracing-a60300261100528s211-error-17153870823559.jpg?v=1648718406","url":"https:\/\/www.chicagomusicexchange.com\/products\/taylor-614ce-builders-edition-grand-auditorium-sitkabig-863132","provider":"Chicago Music Exchange","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
