Taylor 514ce, Next Generation

Next Generation 514ce

Newly revitalized with Next-Gen features, the 514ce delivers an exceptional playing experience at the intersection of comfort, tone and musical utility. Mahogany back and sides paired with a top of Western Red cedar serve up a focused midrange response with warm, rounded character and remarkable soft-touch sensitivity, making it an ideal choice for a broad range of playing styles. Inside, Taylor's scalloped V-Class bracing enhances volume, sustain and open-string expressiveness, combining with an Action Control Neck that generates a touch of additional low-end presence while also offering easy, quick string height adjustments. Visual details include a natural full-body gloss finish, Meridian fretboard inlays in Italian acrylic, a green abalone rosette, and a faux-tortoiseshell pickguard. It includes Claria electronics for dependable live sound in any venue and ships with a deluxe hardshell case.

Features

Grand Auditorium Body Shape: Taylor's flagship shape offers comfort and cross-genre utility, with a clear, balanced tone suited for both fingerstyle and strumming.

Neo-Tropical Mahogany Back & Sides: A midrange powerhouse. Mahogany is prized for balance and articulation, making it one of the best all-around tonewoods there is.

Western Red Cedar Top: A true performer for those with a lighter touch, cedar tops yield extra warmth and pair nicely with mahogany and rosewood.

Action Control Neck: Building on Taylor’s legacy of easy-playing necks, the new Action Control Neck pairs a long-tenon joint for added warmth and depth with a patented system for effortless string height adjustment.

The Claria Acoustic Pickup System: Designed for reliability and ease of use, the Claria System features a reimagined piezo pickup that delivers clear, versatile acoustic tone for any application.

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.
