"The spruce top on this builders edition really opens the voice of the koa up, taking a little bit of the mids out presents a little more cut on the top end."- Ian, Taylor Guitars Expert at Rudy's Music From Taylor Guitar’s Website: "The Builders Edition K14ce is wonderful combination of sonic advancement in guitar design, comfortable player appointments, and beautiful looks. The unique looks and sound of Hawaiian Koa bring a warm mid-range voice. Comfortable to play by combining a body armrest and a whole new designed cutaway that provides access to every note on the fretboard grants the player an experience that he or she will never forget - and never want to be without."
