Taylor Builder's Edition 514ce Kona Burst Grand Auditorium acoustic electric guitar with a solid Sitka spruce top, solid Shamel ash back and sides, West African Crelicam ebony fretboard, 25.5 inch scale length, Taylor V-Class bracing, and Expression System 2 electronics. Includes deluxe hardshell case.

The Taylor Builder's Edition 514ce Kona Burst blends innovative player-focused design with balanced acoustic tone and refined craftsmanship in a versatile Grand Auditorium platform.

Built with a solid Sitka spruce top and solid Shamel ash back and sides, this model delivers a warm, focused voice with woody overtones, punchy mids, crisp trebles, and balanced low-end response. The use of responsibly sourced Southern California Shamel ash provides a distinctive tonal character while reflecting Taylor's continued commitment to sustainable sourcing.

Taylor's V-Class bracing enhances sustain, projection, and harmonic consistency across the fretboard, helping notes ring with improved clarity and balance.

The Grand Auditorium body shape offers exceptional versatility for strumming, fingerstyle, and flatpicking while maintaining a comfortable, well-balanced playing experience.

Builder's Edition comfort enhancements include a beveled armrest, beveled cutaway, chamfered body edges, and Taylor's contoured Curve Wing ebony bridge. Together, these features create a smooth, natural playing experience during extended sessions.

The neo-tropical mahogany neck pairs with a West African Crelicam ebony fretboard for a smooth, responsive feel, while the satin neck finish enhances overall comfort.

Equipped with Taylor's Expression System 2 electronics, the Builder's Edition 514ce delivers a natural amplified tone suitable for both stage and studio use.

Finished in Tobacco Kona Burst with a full-gloss body, this model features faux pearl Compass inlays, a firestripe pickguard, Gotoh 510 antique chrome tuners, and understated Builder's Edition appointments that complement its refined appearance.
