These include a new variant of Taylor's V-Class® voicing architecture, a revolutionary neck joint design and a new proprietary pickup\/preamp combo that tames the harshness of traditional piezos.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis versatile model boasts solid sapele back and sides paired with a Sitka spruce top in a gloss-finish Grand Auditorium body. The result is a punchy, shimmering midrange with vibrant trebles balanced by a warm, woody low end. Its tonal depth is enhanced by new scalloped V-Class bracing, which also increases volume, sustain and pitch accuracy. A slender, long-tenon Action Control Neck™ delivers signature Taylor playability and boosts low-end resonance. The groundbreaking design enables players to make easy, on-the-fly string height adjustments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith a visual style to match its workhorse personality, this model features new Weathervane inlays in Italian acrylic, a firestripe pickguard, nickel tuners and black binding with black and white purfling. Whether you’re performing in the corner of a café or on a festival stage, onboard Claria System electronics make it easy to dial in your preferred amplified tone with soundhole-mounted controls. Plus, a hardshell case offers premium protection for storage and transport. All in all, the 314ce makes a strong case as the ultimate Swiss-army-knife guitar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGrand Auditorium Body Shape:\u003c\/strong\u003e Taylor's flagship shape offers comfort and cross-genre utility, with a clear, balanced tone suited for both fingerstyle and strumming.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSapele Back \u0026amp; Sides: \u003c\/strong\u003eBalanced and consistent across the frequency spectrum.
