Taylor 814ce Sweetwater Special Edition - Charcoal Burst
814ce Special Editions
Sweetwater and Taylor have partnered to bring you, for the first time ever, an 814ce Special Edition series featuring custom finishes, throwback inlays, and exclusive wood combinations. These guitars are all-new, unique takes on Taylor’s flagship 814 platform and only available at Sweetwater.
Originally created as a solidbody counterpart to the White Falcon, the Penguin’s lineage reaches back to the early days of rock ’n’ roll. This limited-edition Gretsch blends the best of the Penguin legacy with a unique paisley pattern peering out from beneath a gold edge burst. The Paisley Penguin also features TV Jones Filter'Tron pickups and a B3GP String-Thru Bigsby.
Just arrived — our latest collaboration with Gibson Custom features Sweetwater exclusive R9 models with unique finish and hardware options, hand-selected tops, and Sugarbucker pickups. Designed in conjunction with Gibson, these slightly under-wound Alnico IV pickups pay homage to the early iterations of lower-output PAFs combined with wax-potted reliability.
