Builder's Edition K14ce Koa Back and Sides w/Torrefied Spruce Top
Serial: 1209034096 Top Wood: Torrefied Spruce Back & Side Wood: Hawaiian Koa Weight: 4.4lbs
Moore Guitars is proud to present this amazingly beautiful sounding Taylor Builder's Edition K14ce. When Taylor Guitars Master Luthier Andy Powers decided that he wanted to create a very special line of guitars, this is the wood combination that was one of the first to hit the market! Taylor Guitars has always had a very symbiotic relationship with Koa, and this is one of the masterpieces! The use of a torrefied spruce top wood absolutely empowers the sonic excellence of the KOA back and sides. Combine those elements with Taylor Guitars patented V-Class Bracing as a sonic chassis along with all the other Builder's Edition aesthetic "ingredients", and you get a true work of musical art!
Crafted to deliver an ultra-refined playing experience with tone and comfort to match, the Builder's Edition K14ce is a Grand Auditorium acoustic-electric guitar designed to the exacting preferences of Andy Powers. Back and sides of solid, beautifully grained Hawaiian Koa produce warm lows and crisp, clear treble notes, with the specially roasted spruce top adding a bit of aged sweetness. Builder's Edition special features include a beveled armrest and cutaway, chamfered body and fretboard edges and a Silent Satin finish. (What's silent satin? You know how in a studio setting when you're using microphones and you move the guitar ever so slightly against your shirt and you can actually hear it through the mics? Not any more!) Add in an artful Spring Vine inlay to top off the visual details. The Builder's Edition K14ce ships with ES2 electronics and a deluxe Taylor hardshell case.
