Taylor 814 Acoustic Guitar - Tobacco Sunburst

Taylor 814 Acoustic Guitar - Tobacco Sunburst 

The Taylor 814 Grand Auditorium is part of Taylor's 800 Series, known for its high-quality materials and craftsmanship. The Grand Auditorium body shape is relatively small, offering a more intimate playing experience and a balanced tone. The 800 Series guitars typically feature a Sitka spruce top and Indian rosewood back and sides. These tonewoods contribute to a rich and articulate sound with a focus on clarity.

This is a limited edition guitar model used by artists during a charity event called Guitars for the Gulf, a renowned charity event that recently featured the Taylor 814, which caught the attention of musicians and enthusiasts alike. Not only was it played by talented artist Jewel, but it also by Don Felder, a member of the iconic rock band, the Eagles. The event aimed to raise funds for Gulf Coast restoration projects, and the guitar model served as a symbol of support for this vital cause. The fusion of musical talent, privileged ownership of the guitar, and the spirit of philanthropy made this particular event truly memorable.
