2025 Taylor 514ce Urban Red Ironbark Acoustic-electric Guitar - Natural

Get ready to experience a truly unique and inspiring tone with the Taylor 514ce featuring Urban Ironbark back and sides! This Grand Auditorium-shaped beauty delivers a sound that's both rich and articulate, blending the best qualities of classic tonewoods. The Urban Ironbark offers a sweet, powerful voice, combining the high-fidelity clarity often found in rosewood with the warm, punchy midrange and balanced spectrum of mahogany. Paired with a torrefied Sitka spruce top, this guitar boasts a "played-in" maturity right out of the case, ensuring incredible resonance and a responsive feel.

The V-Class bracing inside the 514ce enhances both volume and sustain, making it a powerhouse for strummers while maintaining an impressive touch sensitivity for fingerstyle players. This means you get a wide dynamic range, allowing your subtle nuances to shine through. Beyond its captivating sound, the 514ce is a visual stunner with new Aerial inlays crafted from Italian acrylic, a tasteful single-ring abalone rosette, and a subtle stain that beautifully highlights the rich red hues of the Urban Ironbark. A lightly shaded edgeburst and gloss-finish body complete the elegant aesthetic, blending traditional charm with contemporary flair.
