Details
The back and sides of the Taylor Builder’s Edition K14ce are made from solid koa,and the top is torrefied Sitka spruce, a combination that produces a remarkably well balanced tone with a subtle emphasis on the midrange and trebles. As with most Builder’s Editions This K14ce includes a beveled armrest, beveled body edge treatment, and a reshaped cutaway that flows smoothly into the heel and incorporates a finger bevel where the cutaway meets the soundboard. Other refined touches include “silent” satin finish, which helps quiet the incidental noise against the guitar body.
Named for the distinctive shape of the bracing system designed by Andy Powers, the V-Class guitars are an intriguing step forward in guitar evolution. Perhaps the most noticeable attribute of the new guitars is the increase in sustain and overall response. These guitars produce impressive sound at the lightest touch and yet they can be played aggressively without breaking up. Another notable feature is the balance of tone up and down the neck. No matter where you play on the neck, the notes ring out clearly without any variation of timbre or volume.
