Used 2022 Taylor 314ce-N - Natural

Looking to add a fresh, soulful flavor to your acoustic repertoire? The Taylor 314ce-N is the ultimate crossover nylon-string acoustic-electric guitar, seamlessly blending classical warmth with modern playability. Perfect for players who want the romantic, snappy tone of nylon strings but prefer the sleek, comfortable feel of a steel-string neck, this Grand Auditorium powerhouse breaks the mold of restrictive traditional classical design. Whether you’re weaving intricate jazz lines, fingerpicking folk melodies, or channeling your inner Rodrigo y Gabriela, this guitar is ready to transform your musical texture.

At the heart of its signature punchy sound is an all-solid tonewood pair that balances sweetness and projection beautifully. The solid Sitka spruce top provides exceptional clarity, dynamic responsiveness, and crisp note definition. Complementing the top are solid sapele back and sides, which offer a warm, mahogany-like voice with a rich midrange and beautifully focused fundamentals. Braced with a custom nylon series fan pattern, the body allows the top to vibrate freely, serving up bold lows and articulate highs that project effortlessly.

When it's time to plug in, Taylor’s proprietary ES-N electronics deliver an incredibly natural, dynamic plugged-in experience. Tailored specifically to capture the nuance and warmth of nylon strings, the system avoids the harshness common in standard under-saddle piezos. Completed with a gorgeous Venetian cutaway for unrestricted upper-fret access and an eco-friendly West African Crelicam ebony fretboard, the 314ce-N is a performance-focused masterpiece designed for the modern stage.
