Pull out all the stops, and then pull out some more, and you’ll get Taylor’s primo line of Builder’s Edition instruments. This 2018 K14ce is like new, but wide open under the hood. Koa back and sides pair up with Sitka Spruce on top in a satin finish that feels like velvet to the touch. At the lower bout they’ve added a Ryan-style arm bevel, and the Venetian Cutaway has been reengineered with a smooth contour to the neck heel and a beveled top edge for effortless upper fretboard work for the left hand. The Expression System 2 is plug-n-play perfection, warm and faithfully acoustic at a touch. The Grand Auditorium body boasts a generous 16 inch lower bout for added projection and power. We’re happy to report that this K14ce Builder’s Edition has a lot of gears, and responds beautifully to both a light attack and a more aggressive hand.
