DISC Taylor 314ce-N LH Left Handed Electro Acoustic Guitar (2017)

Full Description

A Grand Auditorium Body

The Grand Auditorium is an original Taylor design that was introduced in 1994. It is one of Taylor’s most popular and versatile body shapes, producing an original acoustic voice that’s big enough to handle medium-strength picking and strumming. It features an impressive balance across the tonal spectrum, especially in the midrange, producing clear, well-defined notes suited to both strumming and fingerstyle playing. It is particularly an ideal choice for singer-songwriters who require a versatile instrument for composing and travelling.

Venetian Cutaway

The Venetian Cutaway is renowned for its soft, round lines, creating a visually stunning look that is recognisable on any body. This type of cutaway allows easier access to the upper frets for a comfortable play, and enables you with more freedom throughout the fingerboard.

Nylon Strings

Unlike other models, the Taylor 312ce-N is equipped with nylon strings, offering a unique tone that combines a sweetness, fatness and brilliance. Nylon strings are particularly popular with flamenco playing and many from of Latin music, exerting less tension than steel strings to allow the tone to vibrate more easily.

Sitka Spruce and Sapele

The Taylor guitar features a beautiful sitka spruce top, offering a broad dynamic range and a crisp articulation. Sitka spruce is the most commonly used wood for guitar tops as it generates a broad dynamic range and accommodates numerous playing styles, from aggressive strumming to fingerpicking. This stunning tonewood is contrasted with sapele back and sides, which delivers a consistent and balanced tone with an excellent top-end shimmer. This stunning combination of tonewoods not only provides you with a beautiful guitar, but also offers a great combination of tones.

Mahogany Neck and Ebony Fingerboard

Tropical Mahogany is used for the Taylor guitar’s neck, delivering a soothingly warm and mellow tone with good presence in the lower mids. Taylor’s unique NT neck design provides players with a perfectly straight and stable guitar neck, enhancing its resistance to common problems such as changes in humidity. An ebony fingerboard provides the acoustic guitar with extra tightness and clarity, creating a fast attack for added definition.

Taylor's ES-N Electronics

The ES-N is an under-saddle, single-source transducer, with individual elements for each string to capture the natural tone of the guitar and provide a beautifully crisp amplification. The preamp feature a selection of controls to shape the amplified tone, and have been customised to compliment the nylon-string voice.
