Frequently Asked Questions

Sinker wood often has tighter grain and a slightly more mature tone due to its slow growth and exposure to the elements, resulting in a richer, more complex sound.
The 814ce typically features a comfortable Taylor Performance neck profile with a 44mm nut width, which should accommodate most hand sizes, though it’s slightly wider than some standard profiles.
The ES2 system is known for its natural acoustic reproduction and excellent feedback rejection, offering a more transparent amplified tone than many other systems.
