~Guitar pictured is the actual guitar that you will receive~

Featuring a unique tonewood pairing, comfort-enhancing contours and a trio of Next-Gen features, the Next Generation Builder's Edition 514ce offers an enticing musical experience for adventurous players. This cutaway Grand Auditorium boasts a solid Sitka spruce top along with back and sides of Shamel ash sourced through Taylor's urban wood initiative, adding up to a woody, dry midrange voice with controlled overtones and a strong fundamental focus. Inside, scalloped V-Class bracing dials up more low-end presence, open-string resonance and room-filling projection, while the Action Control Neck makes it easy to home in on the perfect feel for your playing style. Other features include Claria electronics for easy, adaptable live tone, as well as a beveled armrest and matching cutaway for a seamless feel. This model sports a single ring Italian acrylic faux-pearl rosette, premium Gotoh 510 tuners in antique chrome, a firestripe pickguard, Compass inlays in Italian acrylic, and a full-body gloss finish with a Kona Burst color treatment.
