Which Taylor Is Right for You?
Builder’s Edition 912ce vs. 914ce

The Taylor Builder’s Edition 912ce and 914ce share the same ultra-premium tonewood pairing—**Sinker Redwood tops** and **Honduran Rosewood back and sides**—along with identical high-end appointments including **paua edge trim**, **Hawaiian koa purfling**, **Belle Fleur fretboard inlays**, **Gotoh 510 tuners**, and **V-Class bracing**. Both models deliver a warm, harmonically rich tone with stunning visual elegance and outstanding dynamic range.

So what’s the difference? It all comes down to **body shape**—and how you play.

Builder’s Edition 912ce – Grand Concert

• Smaller, more compact body designed for fingerstyle players and light strummers
• Tighter, more focused tone with exceptional note separation and articulation
• Comfort-first ergonomics ideal for long sessions, seated playing, and studio work
• Quick response and touch sensitivity that rewards a lighter touch

Builder’s Edition 914ce – Grand Auditorium

• Full-sized body with a balanced voice suited for a wider range of playing styles
• Greater projection and low-end presence for strumming, flatpicking, or ensemble playing
• More dynamic headroom for players with a heavier attack or broader tonal needs
• Equally at home on stage or in the studio, offering a versatile sonic palette

So, which Taylor is right for you?

Choose the Builder’s Edition 912ce if you prioritize intimacy, precision, and comfort in a smaller-bodied guitar that excels at articulate fingerstyle playing. Choose the Builder’s Edition 914ce if you want a more versatile instrument with room-filling resonance, ideal for players who shift between strumming, picking, and solo work. Either way, you’re selecting one of Taylor’s most refined acoustic instruments—built for tone, comfort, and inspiration.
