In honour of Taylor's 50th anniversary, the 314ce features unique design elements that set it apart from standard models. Every aspect, from the distinct edgeburst finishing to the celebration-themed inlays on the fretboard, commemorates Taylor's half-century of guitar-building prowess. The firestripe faux-tortoiseshell pickguard and golden tuners add a touch of vintage class, while the ebony bridge pins with gold acrylic dots represent the brand's commitment to aesthetic beauty and quality.
Torrefied Sitka Spruce Top
The heart of the Taylor 314ce's exceptional tone comes from its torrefied Sitka spruce top, which undergoes a special ageing process to simulate the mellow sound of an older guitar. This meticulous process results in a soundboard that responds more dynamically, delivering a refined sonic experience with enhanced resonance and clarity. The Sitka spruce's natural elasticity, combined with the torrefaction treatment, offers players a balanced tonal spectrum that excels across genres and playing styles.
Revolutionary V-Class Bracing
Taylor's patented V-Class bracing revolutionises the internal architecture of the guitar, directly impacting its tonal characteristics. This groundbreaking design allows the top to vibrate more freely, boosting volume and extending sustain. The increase in sonic resonance creates a more harmonic agreement between notes across the fretboard, making the 314ce not just a pleasure to play, but also a formidable instrument that outputs clear, articulate sound no matter how complex the chords or aggressive the strumming pattern.
Taylor ES2 Electronics
The 314ce 50th Anniversary model comes equipped with Taylor's Expression System 2 (ES2) electronics, ensuring that the guitar's superior tone is faithfully amplified on stage or in the studio. Unlike traditional pickup systems, the ES2 features a behind-the-saddle design, which captures more of the instrument's dynamic properties. When plugged in, the ES2 provides crystal-clear, natural-sounding acoustic tones that need minimal EQ tweaking, offering reliability and performance to gigging musicians and recording artists alike.
