Taylor Builder’s Edition K14ce
Taylor’s V-Class guitars introduce several newsworthy innovations, including a new bracing system with instantly perceptible sonic consequences. In V-Class instruments, the top bracing includes two long braces configured in a V shape with its point at the endpin, and Joe Gore was impressed with how dramatically this improves volume, sustain, and intonation. This Grand Auditorium-sized model reveals why the buzz surrounding Taylor’s recent innovations is so deafening.
