Taylor Builder’s Edition 314ce LTD Electro Acoustic, Natural (50th Anniversary)

Full Description

Innovative v-class bracing

The Taylor Builder’s Edition 314ce LTD features Taylor's revolutionary V-Class bracing, a design that profoundly enhances the guitar's sonic performance. This bracing pattern increases both the volume and sustain while improving intonation across the fretboard. The result is a guitar that not only projects a richer, more resonant sound but also offers a more harmonious and pleasing playing experience. Players can expect clear, powerful notes that are consistent and in tune, whether playing chords at the neck or solos at the higher frets.

Expression system® 2 electronics

Taylor’s Expression System® 2 electronics set the 314ce LTD apart in the realm of electro-acoustic guitars. This behind-the-saddle pickup design captures more of the guitar’s natural acoustic sound than ever before. The system features three uniquely positioned and individually calibrated pickup sensors, which, in combination, can articulate a wide range of acoustic tones when amplified. Whether you’re performing in a live setting or recording in a studio, the ES2 system delivers an authentic and natural plug-and-play experience, making it a favorite among professional musicians.

Eco-conscious and sustainable materials

Commitment to sustainability is at the heart of the Taylor Builder’s Edition 314ce LTD, with its use of Urban Ash for the back and sides. Sourced from trees in need of removal from municipal areas, Urban Ash is not only an eco-friendly wood choice but also offers tonal properties akin to those of revered woods like mahogany. This thoughtful sourcing reflects Taylor's dedication to environmental stewardship without compromising on the guitar’s sound quality or performance. The result is a sustainably made instrument that contributes to a greener planet while providing musicians with exceptional sound and playability.

Player-focused comfort and aesthetics

The Taylor Builder’s Edition 314ce LTD is designed with the player's comfort in mind, featuring a beveled armrest and cutaway, along with chamfered body edges. These ergonomic features allow for an easier reach to the upper frets and reduce fatigue during long playing sessions. Additionally, the guitar sports a Silent Satin finish that minimizes incidental noise and adds a smooth feel, enhancing the overall playability. Complemented by a visually stunning Kona Burst finish on the back and sides and a natural top, this guitar stands out not just for its sound but also for its elegant appearance. Every detail, from the aesthetic choices to the tactile experience, has been carefully curated to deliver a guitar that is a joy to play and behold.
