Note: Images are for illustration purposes only.

For those who want a premium guitar at a keen price, check out our pre-loved Taylor 814c Grand Auditorium, which comes with a hard case in good condition.

Its grand auditorium body shape with a cutaway is the perfect balance of highs, mids, and lows, while its spruce top, rosewood sides and back, mahogany neck, and ebony fingerboard and bridge are the details you'd expect from a handcrafted, USA-made instrument.

Grand Auditorium Body Shape

Sitting between dreadnought and grand concert shapes, it's known as the "Swiss army knife" of body shapes, delivering a balanced sound that suits both fingerpicking and strumming. Its waist is comfortable for extended studio sessions and long practice, while the cutaway design opens up the higher register of frets for more intricate playing.

Solid Spruce Top, Rosewood Back & Sides

To achieve an overall balanced tone, Taylor has paired a solid spruce top for brightness with rosewood back and sides for richness. This marriage of tonewoods delivers a balanced sound with a clear, well-defined midrange and volume for projection when playing. 

The bass is full, while the top end omits bell-like highs, bringing together a versatile tonal palette that responds beautifully to both delicate fingerstyle playing and more powerful strumming. The result is a dynamic, articulate voice with impressive clarity, sustain, and depth across the entire frequency range.

Mahogany Neck & Ebony Fingerboard

The comfortable mahogany neck allows easy transitions between the 20 frets, while the ebony fingerboard is smooth and easy to navigate. Flow up and down this neck all day.

Premium Appointments
