Taylor Next Generation 314ce Grand Auditorium Sapele / Sitka Acoustic-Electric Guitar

This is what Taylor Guitars say about the Next Generation 314ce:

Next Generation 314ce

The next-generation Taylor 314ce is one of the brand’s best-selling acoustic-electric guitars, delivering a true Taylor playing experience with all-solid tonewoods, exceptional comfort, and advanced performance upgrades. This updated model benefits from three major innovations: a refined V-Class voicing architecture, a revolutionary neck joint design, and a proprietary pickup and preamp system that reduces the harshness commonly associated with traditional piezo electronics.

Built with solid sapele back and sides and a Sitka spruce top, the 314ce features a Grand Auditorium body with a high-gloss finish for a balanced and versatile sound profile. Players can expect a punchy, articulate midrange, bright and detailed highs, and a warm, woody low end. New scalloped V-Class bracing enhances tonal depth while increasing volume, sustain, and pitch accuracy across the fretboard. The slim, long-tenon Action Control Neck delivers signature Taylor playability, improves low-end resonance, and allows easy, on-the-fly string height adjustments.

Visually, the 314ce pairs understated elegance with road-ready durability. Appointments include Italian acrylic Weathervane inlays, a firestripe pickguard, nickel tuners, and black body binding with black and white purfling. Designed for both live and studio use, the onboard Claria System electronics feature soundhole-mounted controls that make shaping your amplified tone quick and intuitive. A deluxe hardshell case is included for secure storage and transport, making the Taylor 314ce a true all-purpose acoustic-electric guitar for players at any level.
