Taylor Custom Shop C14CE B6028 Custom GA, Catch Custom #28

2026 Custom Shop Limited Run

The Taylor C14ce B6028 Catch Custom 2026 is a masterful Grand Auditorium designed for players who demand both visual elegance and tonal sophistication. Its top is crafted from rich Sinker Redwood, paired with warm, resonant Walnut back and sides, all finished in a full gloss that highlights the natural beauty of the wood. Figured Hawaiian Koa binding and a Mother-of-Pearl/Koa rosette add subtle, eye-catching detail, while the Venetian cutaway provides easy access to the upper frets, making this guitar as playable as it is beautiful.

Beneath the surface, the C14ce features Taylor’s Scalloped V-Class Bracing with a Relief Rout, which enhances sustain, clarity, and projection across the tonal spectrum. The Neo-Tropical Mahogany neck, with its Standard Carve profile, sits comfortably in the hand, while the long-tenon Action Control Neck allows precise adjustment of string height for personalized playability. A 25.5” scale and West African Crelicam Ebony fingerboard with a 15” radius provide a responsive platform for everything from fingerpicking to full-bodied strumming, accented by mother-of-pearl and Hawaiian Koa capstone inlays.

The hardware on the Catch Custom is carefully chosen for both performance and aesthetics. The West African Crelicam Ebony bridge with white Micarta saddle and stained bone pins ensures strong, balanced tone, while Gotoh 510 tuners in antique gold with black buttons offer smooth, reliable tuning stability. The Black TUSQ nut complements the setup, delivering precise string spacing and consistent action. Every element, from the standard bridge to the absence of a pickguard, is designed to let the wood and craftsmanship speak for themselves.

Equipped with Taylor’s Claria System, this acoustic/electric hybrid is ready for the stage or studio, delivering clear, natural amplified tone that preserves the guitar’s dynamic response. D’Addario XS Coated Phosphor Bronze strings provide long-lasting brightness and warmth, and the deluxe brown Taylor hardshell case ensures secure transport. From its hand-selected tonewoods to its thoughtful appointments, the C14ce B6028 is a versatile, high-performance instrument that embodies Taylor’s dedication to playability, tone, and artistry.
