Details

Among Taylor's most popular models and one of the best-selling U.S.-made acoustic guitars on the market, the 314ce offers a quintessentially Taylor experience with all-solid tonewoods and an accommodating feel. This Grand Auditorium boasts back and sides of solid sapele paired with a Sitka spruce top, producing a punchy, shimmering midrange with a warm, woody low-end character to balance its vibrant trebles. Taylor's V-Class bracing architecture adds a boost to power and sustain, and the always-comfortable Taylor neck makes for a smooth feel for any playing style. With a firestripe pickguard and crisp white binding adding a touch of visual style to its workhorse personality, plus ES2 electronics and a hardshell case, the 314ce is the ultimate Swiss-army-knife guitar.

Features

• Grand Auditorium Body Shape: Taylor’s signature shape embodies the ultimate all-purpose acoustic.
• Sapele Back & Sides: One of the best all-around tonewoods there is, sapele will deliver for any playing style.
• Sitka Spruce Top: The soundboard choice for most guitars, Sitka spruce produces a broad dynamic range and accommodates a versatile range of playing styles.
• Expression System 2 Electronics: The Expression System 2 captures more of a guitar’s dynamic properties using a breakthrough behind-the-saddle design.
• Venetian Cutaway: The Venetian cutaway is known for its soft, round lines. The sloping peak of the cutaway will vary depending on the shape of the body.
• V-Class Bracing: Taylor's patented V-Class bracing is a revolutionary new pattern — a new sonic engine — that marks a major shift away from traditional steel-string bracing patterns.
