Taylor 314CE-STUDIO Studio Grand Auditorium - Cutaway, Electronics, Natural

For players seeking the rich, sophisticated acoustic tone and bold projection that comes with an all-solid-wood guitar, there may be no better value than the Taylor 314ce Studio. Now the lowest-priced gateway to the solid-wood experience in the Taylor line, this Grand Auditorium acoustic-electric combines back and sides of sapele with a torrefied spruce top, adding up to a punchy midrange response with a clear, woody character and an added dash of warmth and sweetness from our special roasting recipe. Inside, our V-Class bracing dials up more volume, longer sustain and improved harmony all the way up the neck. This model also features comfort-enhancing chamfered body edges and a slightly narrower fretboard of 1-11/16 inches, offering a hand-friendly feel that makes fretting a breeze regardless of your skill level. Finished off with a full-body gloss, nickel hardware and a faux tortoiseshell pickguard, the 314ce Studio includes ES2 electronics for faithful plugged-in tone and a structured gig bag. CASE/GIG BAG: Structured Gig Bag Included. More Grand Auditorium Taylor’s signature shape embodies the ultimate all-purpose acoustic. Sapele One of the best all-around tonewoods there is, sapele will deliver for any playing style. Torrefied Spruce Treated with our special roasting process, torrefied spruce tops deliver all the clarity, balance and projection you’d expect from a traditional spruce top with an extra dash of warmth and played-in depth. Expression System® 2 The Expression System® 2 captures more of a guitar’s dynamic properties using a breakthrough behind-the-saddle design. Venetian Cutaway The Venetian cutaway is known for its soft, round lines. The sloping peak of the cutaway will vary depending on the shape of the body.
