When you pick up a Taylor, you can expect outstanding tone - and one of the leading reasons behind that signature Taylor voice is the use of high-quality tonewoods. This particular Taylor, the 314ce, is a prime example of just that. It features time-proven Sitka spruce as its top - which gives you projection - while its body comprises Sapele - a somewhat red-brown tonewood, quite similar to mahogany. The Taylor 314ce also features a Tropical American mahogany neck, which is lined with a smooth-playing ebony fingerboard.Grand Auditorium body style, for exceptional treble zing
Taylor's beloved Grand Auditorium body style, featured on the 314ce, employs the width and depth of the Dreadnought. But, its waist is narrower, which gives Grand-Auditorium-bodied acoustic guitars a sleeker look, with more treble zing. The body style also helps to sharpen the definition of each note. Ultimately, from fingerpicking to medium strumming, the Grand Auditorium is a great choice for nearly every playing style.Renowned Taylor Expression System electronics
Designed to faithfully reproduce your guitar's native tone, the Taylor 314ce's Expression System uses patented Dynamic Sensors to capture top and string vibration like never before. The Taylor ES system was created in partnership with renowned audio pioneer Rupert Neve - and the system is seamlessly integrated into the design of the guitar from the ground up. Onboard tone controls provide added flavor, or can be set flat for an uncolored, exceptionally clean amplified sound.Taylor 314ce Finish: Satin with Gloss Top
The finish used to create this guitar's textured satin back and sides and lustrous gloss top was developed at Taylor for maximum durability and resistance to cold-checking. This ultraviolet-cured finish is also more environmentally friendly than traditional lacquer finishes.Taylor 314ce Acoustic-electric Guitar Features:Finish - Satin with Gloss TopType/Shape - 6-String Grand AuditoriumBack & Sides - SapeleTop - Sitka SpruceSoundhole Rosette - Wood FiberNeck - Tropical American MahoganyFretboard - EbonyFretboard Inlay - Large Pearl DotsHeadstock Overlay - Indian RosewoodBinding - Black FiberBridge - EbonyNut & Saddle - TusqTuning Machines - Chrome-plated Taylor TunersInstalled Strings - Elixir Light Gauge Strings with NANOWEB CoatingScale Length - 25-1/2 InchesTruss Rod - AdjustableNeck Width at Nut - 1-3/4 InchesNumber of Frets - 20Bracing - Scalloped, X-BraceCutaway - VenetianElectronics - Taylor Expression SystemBody Width - 16 InchesBody Depth - 4 5/8 InchesBody Length - 20 InchesOverall Length - 41 InchesIncluded Case - Taylor Hardshell
