TAYLOR introduced the K14CE in 1998, it was discontinued for a while around 2003 and then reintroduced again in 2011 until 2013. The fluctuating availability of these Koa models is linked to difficulties with the supply of Hawaiian Koa wood. The initial production run of the K14CE had Koa back & sides with Englemann spruce or western red cedar top and the Fishman Onboard Blender system. The 2011 model had Sitka spruce top as standard with Englemann spruce, western red cedar or Koa as optional top woods. The 2011 models had Island Vine fingerboard inlays as standard. Early models up to around 2003 had Fishman Prefix Stereo Blender electronics later models have Taylor Expression system electronics.
