The Swiss-Army-Knife Taylor That Just Feels Right
If you want one acoustic-electric that can cover every gig, session and songwriting hang, the Taylor 314ce is that guitar. All-solid woods, V-Class punch and the easy Taylor playability all add up to a lifer, not a placeholder.
All-Solid Sitka Spruce And Sapele For Balanced Power
The solid Sitka spruce top gives you that familiar Taylor shimmer and headroom, so you can dig in without the tone collapsing. Solid sapele mahogany back and sides add a focused, woody midrange with a warm low end that never gets muddy.
The result is a voice that sits perfectly in a mix and feels alive under your right hand. Strum big open chords, flatpick lines or play delicate fingerstyle and it responds with clarity, bloom and just the right amount of grit when you lean on it.
V-Class Bracing: Louder, Longer, Truer
Taylor’s V-Class bracing is not marketing fluff. It stiffens the top where you want sustain and lets it flex where you want volume, so notes ring longer, chords sound more in tune up the neck and the whole guitar feels more responsive.
Real talk, you get more projection without having to play harder, and the improved intonation makes recording and live work a lot less of a fight. It is one of those upgrades you notice the first time you hit a big chord.
Grand Auditorium Comfort With Cutaway Access
The Grand Auditorium body shape is Taylor’s sweet spot between dreadnought power and small-body comfort. It sits close to the body, balances well on a strap or in your lap and feels like home whether you are on stage or on the couch.
The Venetian cutaway keeps the upper register wide open for leads, chord extensions and modern worship voicings. Combined with the smooth, satin-finished neck, it is a fast, fatigue-free playing experience for long sets and long sessions.
Stage-Ready ES2 Electronics
The onboard Expression System 2 keeps your plugged-in tone honest. It captures the natural acoustic voice of the guitar with more body and less quack than old-school undersaddle pickups.
Run it straight into a PA, acoustic amp or your favorite pedalboard and it stays clear, dynamic and feedback-resistant. Dial in your sound quickly and spend the rest of the night thinking about the song instead of the gear.
Built To Work, Night After Night
This 314ce is all about reliable, pro-grade performance. The West African Crelicam ebony bridge and fingerboard feel smooth and solid under your hands, the Taylor nickel tuners lock in tuning stability and the Tusq nut with Micarta saddle keeps things intonating cleanly.
It ships in a Taylor deluxe hardshell case, and the photos you see are of the actual guitar in our Evansville shop. It has been inspected three times, set up by our techs and is ready to go to work as soon as you open the case.
