A premium limited-edition acoustic celebrating 50 years of Taylor innovation.
The 50th Anniversary 314ce limited-edition Grand Auditorium acoustic-electric guitar from Taylor Guitars commemorates five decades of acoustic excellence. Taylor has upgraded their popular Grand Auditorium 314ce model with a torrefied spruce top and V-Class bracing. The torrefaction process enriches the Sitka top with vintage-inspired warmth and responsiveness. Taylor's patented V-Class bracing optimizes volume, sustain and intonation for purer, more resonant tone. The guitar's cutaway Grand Auditorium body provides ergonomic upper fret access. Premium appointments include a shaded edgeburst, ebony bridge pins with gold dots and Taylor's Expression System 2 electronics. Sonically versatile with clear, balanced tone and singing sustain, this limited-run 314ce is a finely crafted musical tool. Only 1,974 will be built worldwide.
Torrefied Spruce Top Adds Vintage Warmth and Punch
The limited-edition 314ce 50th Anniversary gets its musical heart from a torrefied Sitka spruce top. Taylor carefully "roasts" the spruce through a proprietary torrefaction process that ages the wood, adding richness and responsiveness. The top takes on a slightly darker hue, with longer sustain and focused midrange punch. Your playing blooms with extra nuance and character. The vintage-inspired torrefied spruce top infuses this 50th Anniversary model with heightened acoustic power.
V-Class Bracing Unlocks the Guitar's Full Potential
Taylor's advanced V-Class bracing propels this 50th Anniversary 314ce to new sonic heights. A clean-sheet redesign, V-Class bracing boosts volume and natural sustain. Notes ring out with enhanced clarity and intonation accuracy. The 314ce projects with added punch, blooming with complex harmonics. Chords sound fuller and more in tune. V-Class bracing unlocks the guitar's complete tonal range, optimizing resonance across the fingerboard.
Plug in the Expression System 2 for Taylor's Balanced Tone
Taylor's innovative Expression System 2 electronics faithfully amplify the 314ce's balanced acoustic voice. The ES2's calibrated behind-the-saddle pickup captures a dynamic range of natural tone. The professional-grade preamp has volume, bass and treble controls for dialing in your amplified sound. On stage or in the studio, plug in to hear the ES2 convey the rich, nuanced voice of your Taylor guitar. The ES2 makes this 50th Anniversary 314ce a true acoustic-electric powerhouse.
Comfortable Grand Auditorium Body for Inspired Playing
The cutaway Grand Auditorium profile is one of Taylor's most popular and versatile body shapes. Its tapered curves offer comfortable ergonomics, reacting evenly to both fingerstyle and strumming. The Venetian cutaway provides easy access to high frets for soloing. Sapele back and sides supply resonant tone and ample projection. The limited-edition 50th Anniversary 314ce Grand Auditorium acoustic-electric guitar's inspiring playability will keep you creating for years to come.
