Taylor Guitars Next Generation 314ce Acoustic-Electric Guitar in Natural
Among Taylor's most popular models and one of the best-selling U.S.-made acoustic guitars on the market, the 314ce offers a quintessentially Taylor experience with all-solid tonewoods and an accommodating feel. This Grand Auditorium boasts back and sides of solid sapele paired with a Sitka spruce top, producing a punchy, shimmering midrange with a warm, woody low-end character to balance its vibrant trebles. Our V-Class bracing architecture adds a boost to power and sustain, and the always-comfortable Taylor neck makes for a smooth feel for any playing style. With a firestripe pickguard and crisp white binding adding a touch of visual style to its workhorse personality, plus ES2 electronics and a hardshell case, the 314ce is the ultimate Swiss-army-knife guitar.
The Claria Acoustic Pickup SystemClaria’s onboard preamp is powered by a 9-volt battery housed in an end-pin compartment inside the guitar, providing 150 hours of plugged-in use.
Three discreet soundhole-mounted controls offer streamlined, intuitive tone shaping.
