Taylor Presentation Series PS14ce Grand Auditorium

Taylor Presentation Series PS14ce Grand Auditorium

Extraordinary tonewoods adorned in Taylor's finest aesthetic appointments make the Presentation Series their richest showcase of craftsmanship detail.

This year Taylor have refreshed the series by pairing sinker redwood tops with backs and sides of Honduran rosewood, whose stunning musical traits have made it the ultimate wood choice for marimba bars. This variety (Dalbergia stevensonii) is harder and denser than its Brazilian and East Indian counterparts, resulting in a low damping factor that helps produce incredibly rich harmonic overtones and a gorgeously smooth, musical voice. Sinker redwood adds its own singular traits, with warmth and touch-sensitivity comparable to cedar, but with a higher volume ceiling. Together with V-Class voicing, these guitars will sing like no other.

In honor of the new tonewood pairing, Taylor master builder Andy Powers designed a new California Vine inlay suite for the series, accenting the fluid vine treatment (in sparkling paua) along the fretboard with inlays in the peghead, bridge, and as an added element of ornamentation, in the rosewood pickguard. In both sound and visual appeal, these guitars are musical masterpieces.
