Taylor 314ce Studio Shaded Edgeburst

Overview

The Taylor 314ce Studio Shaded Edgeburst offers an all-solid-wood acoustic-electric platform designed to deliver balanced tone, strong projection, and a comfortable playing experience at an accessible price point. Built with solid sapele back and sides and a torrefied Sitka spruce top, it produces a focused midrange response with added warmth and openness from Taylor’s roasting process.

V-Class bracing enhances volume, sustain, and intonation across the fretboard, while the Grand Auditorium body shape provides versatility for a wide range of playing styles. Comfort-forward features like chamfered body edges, a slim neck profile, and a slightly narrower nut width make this model easy to play for long sessions, whether acoustic or amplified.
