USED Taylor / 814ce ES1 Japan Limited 2016 Natural [11]

Bringing a Natural Feel to the Classic 814ce
The Taylor 814ce ES1 Japan Limited 2016 is a special edition model that deliberately pairs the classic 800 Series—renowned for its exceptional craftsmanship—with the previous-generation “ES1” pickup. Although the industry had generally transitioned to the ES2 by this time, this model stands out for featuring the ES1, which delivers a more natural, airy sound.

Featuring a solid Sitka spruce top and solid Indian rosewood sides and back, it delivers deep lows, sparkling highs, and excellent separation—a testament to its exceptional craftsmanship. It handles a wide range of playing styles, from fingerstyle to strumming, and offers a versatile sound suitable for any genre.

Furthermore, the soft, airy line output unique to the ES1 allows for expression that faithfully preserves the nuances of the acoustic sound. We recommend this model to players seeking a more natural-sounding electro-acoustic guitar—one that offers a distinct character compared to current models.

This instrument truly showcases the unique specifications of the Japan Limited edition. It’s a model we highly recommend for players who are particular about sound quality.
