Taylor 314ce Studio Grand Auditorium Electro Acoustic, Natural

Full Description

Solid wood construction for superior tone

The Taylor 314ce Studio is crafted with all-solid tonewoods, ensuring a resonant and dynamic sound that improves with age. The solid sapele back and sides provide a warm, balanced tone with a strong midrange presence, making it ideal for a variety of playing styles. The torrefied Sitka spruce top adds to the guitar’s character, offering enhanced projection and a rich, aged-in warmth. The torrefaction process accelerates the natural aging of the wood, delivering a seasoned tone straight out of the case. This combination of premium tonewoods results in a guitar that offers depth, clarity, and sustain for both strumming and fingerstyle techniques.

Enhanced sound with V-Class bracing

V-Class bracing inside the Taylor 314ce Studio provides superior tonal balance, increased volume, and extended sustain. This innovative bracing design optimises the top’s flexibility and stiffness, allowing the soundboard to vibrate more freely while maintaining structural integrity. As a result, you get a guitar that projects with greater power and clarity, ensuring a consistent response across all frequencies. The improved sustain enhances the harmonic interplay between notes, creating a fuller, richer sound with enhanced articulation. The V-Class bracing helps deliver a dynamic and responsive tone that adapts to your playing style, making live and studio recording incredibly nuanced.

Smooth and comfortable playability

The 314ce Studio features a slender neck profile and a 1-11/16-inch nut width, providing a comfortable playing experience for a range of hand sizes. The neo-tropical mahogany neck is crafted for effortless movement up and down the fretboard, while the West African Crelicam ebony fretboard ensures a smooth touch and precise fretting. This combination of materials and design makes it easy to play complex chord voicings and intricate fingerpicking patterns without fatigue. The Venetian cutaway offers easy access to higher frets, giving you the freedom to explore the entire fretboard with ease. From gentle fingerpicking to powerful strumming, the guitar’s ergonomic design supports long playing sessions without discomfort.

Stage-ready electronics and stylish finish

Equipped with Expression System 2 electronics, the Taylor 314ce Studio delivers a natural and dynamic amplified tone that captures the guitar’s rich acoustic character. The pickup design accurately senses the vibrations of the strings and soundboard, providing a full-bodied sound with enhanced responsiveness. Advanced electronics offer a clear and balanced output, ensuring your sound is heard with precision - perfect for when you're plugged in or playing through a PA system. The guitar’s Natural finish and gloss body add a classic touch, making it a visually striking instrument that stands out on stage. Complete with a structured gig bag for safe transport, this guitar is ready to accompany you wherever your music takes you.
