Sinker redwood is reclaimed from old-growth logs that sank in Northern California rivers a century or more ago and were never exposed to air until they were milled, and Scalloped V-Class Bracing with Relief Rout gives that top the structural control to translate its full dynamic range into the string.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRedwood behaves like cedar's louder, more headroom-rich cousin — a fast, touch-sensitive response with a higher ceiling before it compresses under a hard strum. Paired with Honduran rosewood's harmonic complexity and piano-like low end, the 814ce comes out warm and lush at a whisper and still opens up fully under a flatpick, which is why fingerstyle players and studio players both reach for this pairing: it rewards dynamics instead of flattening them out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuilder's Edition appointments carry the tier through every detail: chamfered body edges, a beveled armrest and cutaway, gold Gotoh 510 tuners, a green abalone rosette around a bound sound hole, and a full-body gloss finish over the Shaded Edgeburst top. Taylor's Claria pickup system adds a soundhole-mounted Mid-Contour control alongside volume and tone, so the amplified voice can be shaped rather than just turned up. Every 814ce ships under our \u003ca href=\"\/pages\/dread-not-guarantee\"\u003eDread-Not Guarantee\u003c\/a\u003e — a 30-day in-home trial and a full year to trade it in for 90% credit toward anything else in the store, backed by a free humidity monitoring kit. It is a guitar built for a player chasing a genuinely rare tonewood pairing and a stage-ready electronics package in the same instrument.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Acoustic Shoppe is an Authorized Taylor Premier Dealer and Gold Label Advantage Dealer.
