TAYLOR 814CE SITKA SPRUCE INDIAN ROSEWOOD

Taylor’s popular 814ce offers players the ultimate all-purpose guitar. Its balance, warmth and articulation are great for fingerstyle, it has enough punch as a strummer to front a band, and the top-end power will fuel lead runs without getting shrill. It’s a great choice for a gigging player looking for one guitar that can cover it all. The revoicing of the 800 Series has brought greater warmth, a more mature midrange, and a looser, more luxurious low end to the 814ce, thanks

The Martin 000-15M features a full solid mahogany construction for an understated look with plenty of elegance. Mahogany-topped guitars exhibit a strong “punchy” tone which works very well for rhythm.
