The new Builder's Edition 614ce may very well provide the most luxurious playing experience of any acoustic guitar in our shop! Andy Powers designed the Builder's Edition guitars to be as comfortable as humanly possible, and they have rolled out the six-string equivalent of a red carpet for players who demand exceptional ergonomics as well as spectacular sound. Like any Taylor, it has exceptional handfeel and it plays easy like Sunday morning--especially on the high frets, where a reshaped cutaway with a finger bevel allows for unprecedented upper-fret access.
Speaking of bevels, the wizards at Taylor have taken their beveled armrest concept and expanded on it, and the results are extraordinary! We Wildwoodians have loved Taylor's armrests for years, because they allow for maximum comfort AND they allow the top to resonate more freely because your arm doesn't rest directly on the soundboard. On the Builder's Edition 614ce, Taylor has beveled the edge of the ENTIRE guitar. When you combine this smooth feel with Taylor's "silent satin" finish--a thin finish meant to cut down on incidental noise--you get a guitar that provides world-beating comfort. Basically, when you pick up a 614ce, it feels so welcoming and inviting that it's almost like you're playing a wooden pillow!
Not that you'll be able to sleep, because they sound so good that you'll want to stay up all night playing them! The torrefied spruce top and the maple back and sides conspire together to bring you a truly singular sound: crisp, articulate, sunny, and transparent, with a healthy dose of that signature Taylor sparkle. Andy Powers has done a magnificent job of re-voicing the 600, and his brilliance is on full display here. Though the Builder's Edition 614ce has many of the classic characteristics of a maple guitar, it has an uncommon warmth and woodiness that is simply irresistible.
