Description

The Taylor 314CE Grand Auditorium V-Class is an amalgamation of ingenious craftsmanship and sustainable materials, staying true to Taylor's heritage while keeping an eye on the future.

Rooted in the company's storied past, the Grand Auditorium shape has been a foundational element of the Taylor line. The 314CE carries on this tradition, featuring a cutaway design for greater access to the higher frets, and a Sitka spruce top with Sapele back and sides. This pairing produces a versatile tonal output, suitable for an array of playing styles.

The innovative V-Class bracing sits beneath the top, a creation that continues to redefine Taylor's approach to sound generation. This design enhances the guitar's volume, sustain, and intonation, resulting in a more musically vibrant guitar.

Keeping aesthetics at par with functionality, the guitar's ornamentation doesn't go unnoticed. Italian Acrylic Gemstone inlays rest on the West African Crelicam Ebony fingerboard, a material sourced in a socially and environmentally responsible way, embodying Taylor's commitment to sustainability.

The tropical mahogany neck hosts 20 frets on a fingerboard with a 15" radius, offering a comfortable grip for both chord and lead playing. Further, the guitar boasts the proprietary Expression System 2 (ES2), a groundbreaking behind-the-saddle pickup design for capturing dynamic nuances.

With a gloss top and satin finish neck, the Taylor 314CE radiates an understated elegance.

The 314CE Grand Auditorium V-Class is a testament to Taylor's ceaseless innovation and unwavering commitment to sustainability. Packaged in a Taylor Deluxe Hardshell Brown case, this guitar is ready for the stage, the studio, and beyond.
