Taylor 314ce acoustic-electric guitar for all-round use
If you want an acoustic-electric guitar that covers a lot of ground, the Taylor Next Generation 314ce is a strong choice. This model from the 300 Series is often seen as an all-round workhorse, suited to fingerstyle, heavier strumming, live shows and studio work.
The Grand Auditorium body with Venetian cutaway combines a versatile shape with easier access to the upper frets. At Magna Music, you can also get personal advice from musicians who know what matters in daily use with a guitar like this.
Clear, dynamic sound with solid tonewoods
The solid Sitka spruce top and solid sapele back and sides give this Taylor 314ce a clear, dynamic voice with a strong midrange and a warm, controlled bass response. That makes the guitar balanced across different playing styles and musical settings.
The updated scalloped V-Class bracing adds more sustain, extra volume and better intonation across the neck. In practice, you notice that as an open, consistent response for both lighter touch and more forceful playing.
Playing comfort and amplified sound
The neo-tropical mahogany neck has a standard carve profile and feels comfortable in combination with the 25.5 inch scale length and 1 3/4 inch nut width. The West African Crelicam ebony fingerboard and ebony bridge match the refined build, including black binding, gloss finish and Weathervane inlays.
For amplified use, the Taylor Next Generation 314ce features the Taylor Claria pickup system with volume, tone and mid contour controls in the soundhole. That gives you a natural, balanced amplified sound for stage use and recording, and a deluxe hardshell case is included.
