Showdown: 814ce vs 314ce | Flagship vs. Workhorse
Showdown | S2 E2 Episode two of Showdown features award-winning singer-songwriter Joshua Taylor pits two classic Taylor Grand Auditoriums head-to-head in friendly play-off. Our flagship 814ce (Indian rosewood/Sitka spruce) is our most acclaimed guitar, blending elite-level craftsmanship, richly textured sound and artful aesthetics. The workhorse 314ce (sapele/Sitka spruce) delivers the quintessential all-solid-wood playing experience.
