Taylor 514ce Next Generation acoustic-electric guitar
If you want an acoustic-electric guitar that combines warmth with immediate response, the Taylor 514ce Next Generation is a compelling option. This Grand Auditorium model has a solid Western Red Cedar top and solid Neo-Tropical Mahogany back and sides, giving you a warm, rich and highly responsive voice that captures every nuance of your playing.
The Grand Auditorium body with Venetian cutaway makes this steel-string versatile for both strong strumming and refined fingerstyle playing. The cedar adds extra sensitivity and dynamics, while the mahogany body brings a dry, woody tone with clear mids.
New Taylor innovations for 2026
In this Next Generation version, Taylor brings together three major updates: Scalloped V-Class Bracing, the Action Control Neck System and the Claria Acoustic Pickup System. In practice, that means more sustain, fuller resonance, more accurate intonation and a natural amplified sound for stage and studio use.
The Action Control Neck System allows precise neck adjustment. At Magna Music, you can also count on personal advice from musicians and support from an in-house workshop when an instrument needs setup or maintenance.
Finish and complete specification
Visually, the Taylor 514ce Next Generation also makes a refined impression. You get Meridian inlays, white binding, a high-gloss Natural finish, an abalone rosette and a West African Crelicam ebony fingerboard and bridge, while the Claria electronics are subtly integrated into the design.
This Taylor comes with a luxury Taylor Deluxe Hardshell Case and is Made in USA. That makes it a premium acoustic guitar for players who want expressive tone and modern Taylor technology in one instrument.
