Taylor 314ce Studio Electro Acoustic Shaded Edge Burst

This is what Taylor Guitars say about the 314ce Studio:

Pro Sound, Studio Feel, Stunning Finish
The Taylor 314ce Studio delivers professional-grade tone and playability in a beautifully appointed package that’s more accessible than ever. Crafted with all-solid tonewoods and tone-enhancing interior bracing, this versatile Grand Auditorium acoustic-electric is designed for comfort, responsiveness, and broad musical appeal.

Solid sapele back and sides offer a warm, focused midrange—similar to mahogany—while a torrefied Sitka spruce top provides robust projection and a touch of vintage character, thanks to Taylor’s specialized roasting process. V-Class bracing enhances sustain, volume, and tonal clarity, bringing out the best in every note across the fretboard.

Designed for effortless playability, the 314ce Studio features a narrower 1-11/16" nut width and a sleek neck profile for smooth, comfortable fretting—perfect for players of all levels. Built-in ES2 electronics deliver clear, natural amplified sound for stage or studio use.

Finished with a rich shaded edgeburst and full-gloss body for visual flair, this model also includes a structured gig bag for reliable protection on the go.
