Taylor 314ce Grand Auditorium Acoustic-Electric Guitar The Taylor 314ce delivers exceptional tone, playability, and versatility—ideal for stage, studio, or home. With its Grand Auditorium body, solid Sitka spruce top, and solid sapele back and sides, this U.S.-made Taylor balances clarity, warmth, and dynamic range. The V-Class bracing adds more sustain and volume while improving intonation across the fretboard, making this one of the most popular acoustic-electric guitars in Taylor's lineup. Solid Sitka Spruce Top for Versatile Tone The solid Sitka spruce top is the most popular tonewood choice for acoustic guitars, and for good reason. It delivers crisp articulation, strong projection, and excellent dynamic range that responds to both delicate fingerpicking and aggressive strumming. Sitka spruce offers a balanced tonal profile with clear highs, present midrange, and solid bass response—making it ideal for players who perform across multiple musical styles. Solid Sapele Back and Sides for Warmth and Focus Solid sapele back and sides provide a focused midrange with warm, woody character similar to mahogany but with slightly more brightness and clarity. This tonewood combination delivers excellent note definition and balanced frequency response, making the 314ce perfect for recording, live performance, and solo playing. Sapele's consistent tonal qualities ensure reliable performance night after night. V-Class Bracing for Superior Intonation Taylor's revolutionary V-Class bracing architecture enhances volume, sustain, and intonation across the entire fretboard. Notes ring true from the first fret to the highest positions, with improved harmonic agreement between strings. This patented design delivers professional-grade performance that's immediately noticeable—chords sound more in tune, and notes sustain longer with greater clarity. Grand Auditorium: The Ultimate Versatile Body Shape The Grand Auditorium body shape is Taylor's most popular design, offering exceptional versatility that works across all playing styles. It balances the bass response of a dreadnought with the articulation and comfort of a smaller-bodied guitar. The Venetian cutaway provides comfortable upper-fret access for lead playing and complex chord voicings. Whether you're fingerpicking, strumming, or flatpicking, the Grand Auditorium delivers. Expression System® 2 Electronics The Taylor Expression System® 2 (ES2) captures the guitar's natural acoustic voice with exceptional clarity and detail. Behind-the-saddle sensors deliver transparent amplified tone without the artificial qualities of traditional undersaddle pickups, making this guitar stage-ready for any performance venue or recording session. Plug in with confidence knowing your acoustic tone will translate faithfully.
