Perfect for a cozy living room or a brightly lit stage, this acoustic guitar delivers premium comfort, striking aesthetics, and a richly nuanced voice. The Taylor Builder’s Edition 514ce is a shining example of Taylor’s commitment to sustainability, innovation, and player-first design. Featuring responsibly sourced Southern California Shamel ash back and sides paired with a solid Sitka spruce top, the 514ce produces a warm, articulate tone with excellent balance—focused midrange, crisp trebles, and a tight, woody low-end. Taylor’s proprietary V-Class bracing enhances volume, sustain, and harmonic clarity, resulting in a refined, versatile voice that shines in both fingerstyle and strumming applications.
The Builder’s Edition 514ce is packed with ergonomic enhancements, including a beveled cutaway and armrest, chamfered body edges, and a contoured Curve Wing bridge for effortless playability during long sessions. Visually, it stuns with a hand-sprayed Kona Burst gloss top finish and complementary firestripe pickguard, offset beautifully by faux pearl Compass inlays and rosette. High-performance Gotoh 510 tuners in antique gold provide exceptional tuning stability and a premium feel. With Taylor’s ES2 electronics delivering stage-ready tone and a deluxe hardshell case included, this guitar is a performance-ready work of art.
