three years ago this was my dream acoustic and I finally get to try it out
this guitar belongs to my nephew Charlie who goes by the name kid Neptune you can check him out on
all major streaming platforms YouTube Instagram Spotify Etc and he writes some incredible music
moving on the Taylor 814 CE is a really popular Taylor model these days due to the incredible
sound woods used in the appointments so let's get into the spec it's a solid wood guitar of course
no laminates or layering solid sitka Spruce top Indian Rosewood back and sides tropical
mahogany neck and a West African Crelicam ebony fingerboard and it uses the expression system 3
electronics and pick up as a Venetian cutaway and it has the v-class bracing and a built-in arm rest
and comfort cutaways and it has a black task nut and Micarta saddle with smoked nickel tuners and a
beautiful hard case now of course the spec comes at a price but it is an incredible instrument
Its a
Grand
Auditorium instrument and the sound just sizzles I did compare it to my PRS Angelus A40e and the
sound is somewhat similar but the Taylor has something extra extra harmonics better overtones
are clearer sharper more defined sound at a nice low end and the guitar is easy to play as well I
found that with all Taylor Guitars just effortless to play and they feel great in the hands
it's quite surprising playing this guitar again after playing my k24c Builders Edition as this
is a lot brighter than that guitar and the 814c used to be my dream acoustic but now I
think I prefer the k24ce you can see and hear it played by better players than me
over on the guitar pilgrims Channel or the guitar at work Channel both great channels
that I recommend and this guitar originally belonged to my dear friend Tom and he bought
it a few years ago now before he sadly passed away last year but now my nephew gets to enjoy
it and I'm sure he'll put it on many of his songs that he writes in the future cheers
