Taylor 314ce Studio Grand Auditorium Acoustic-Electric Guitar, Torrefied Spruce/Sapele, Natural

As a new version of a Taylor classic, the Taylor Guitars 314ce Studio represents a fresh take on one of the name's fan favorite models. Taking cues from the Taylor 314ce, this Studio version carries the same workhorse sound and spirit for players to play and create with.

This Taylor Studio is constructed from combination of all-solid woods. A back and sides combo of sapele with a torrefied Sitka spruce top constitutes this acoustic for a rich, colorful voice. The Sitka spruce, heat-treated through a process called torrefaction, plays with a worn-in and aged sound that is usually reserved for older tonewoods. Altogether, this Sitka top projects with a well-loved sound right out of the case and is visually impressive with a gloss finish.

From this cutaway body, this Taylor Studio designs in a mahogany neck with a West African Crelicam ebony fingerboard. This responsibly-sourced wood is smooth across the fingers and presents a rich, dark shade to complement the natural grains and colors of the body and neck's woods. Four-millimeter Italian acrylic fretboard inlays punctuate the ebony for a dazzling set of fret markers while a faux tortoiseshell pickguard accompanies.

A few key Taylor features appear on this Studio model. For one, this 314ce comes built with Taylor's specialized V-Class bracing pattern that stabilizes and maximizes projection for a lush and authoritative acoustic voice. This voice is matched by Taylor's Expression System 2 electronics system that offers an option for players to plug in and bring this Taylor's colorful voice to amplified performance. For traveling from performance to performance, Taylor includes a structured gig bag alongside this 314ce.

For a classic Taylor experience reimagined, this 314ce Studio offers iconic Taylor playability and sound for anyone to fall in love with.
