Description

Taylor 314Ce Builder'S Edition Ltd 50th Natural Top

This limited-edition 50th Anniversary 314ce is part of a series of commemorative models built to celebrate Taylor's half-century milestone. Several premium upgrades have been applied to the popular Taylor Grand Auditorium 314ce cutaway, starting with a torrefied spruce top, which adds an additional touch of responsiveness and warmth to its musical personality. Taylor’s special recipe for torrefying the top slightly darkens the Sitka soundboard, and they've enhanced that vintage character with a tasteful full-body Edgeburst finish that’s artfully sprayed around the body and neck.

A firestripe tortoiseshell pickguard adds a bold visual touch, while other complementary aesthetic details include gold Taylor tuners and ebony bridge pins with gold acrylic dots. Other highlighted appointments include a 3-ring rosette with contrasting black and white purfling, black body binding, Italian acrylic Gemstone fretboard/peghead inlays, and a rich full-gloss body.

The guitar also sports the newly designed 50th Anniversary commemorative label. Musically, between the torrefied top and V-Class bracing, this Grand Auditorium will delight players with its musical versatility, offering Taylor’s distinctive balance and clarity with pleasing warmth, projection and sustain. And the neck’s signature playability promises to draw players in at the first strum.

Onboard ES2 electronics and a deluxe Taylor hardshell case round out the package. It all adds up to an elegant and beautifully crafted musical instrument that will deliver years of inspiring musical activity. Production will be limited to 1,974 guitars worldwide.
