Showdown | S2 E3

In this Showdown episode, we feature the Builder’s Edition 614ce (maple/torrefied spruce) and the Builder’s Edition K14ce (Hawaiian koa/torrefied spruce). Both cutaway Grand Auditorium models are guided by the forward-leaning design philosophy that underpins every model in our Builder’s Edition Collection: comfort-focused ergonomic enhancements, stunning aesthetics and super-high-fidelity, ultra-balanced sound. Both feature an easy-playing Taylor neck, V-Class® interior bracing and a roasted soundboard. Because our maple guitars are voiced to deliver more sweetness and warmth, this play-off against a koa model is particularly interesting. What do you think?
