800 series
The 800 Series stands as a quintessential
offering within the Taylor acoustic line due in
part to its connection to Taylor’s earliest days.
While the appointments have evolved over
the years from an early workmanlike aesthetic
into its more contemporary fretboard inlay and
figured maple binding, the series will always be
a Taylor classic, with the 814ce standing out
as a perennial bestseller among our upper-end
models. Over the years, countless professional
musicians, from session players to sidemen,
have confidently plied their craft with an 800
Series guitar, and it remains a popular choice
among working players who want a great
rosewood/spruce guitar.
