Taylor 314ce V-Class - natural

The Taylor 314ce V-Class is a Grand Auditorium electro-acoustic guitar made in the USA.

Perfectly emblematic of the brand, the 314ce combines all the characteristics that have made Taylor so successful: uncompromising choice of components and manufacturing, intelligent design, flexibility of sound, ergonomics.

The demanding specifications of the Taylor 314ce

• The compact body is a Grand Auditorium type with a cutaway. Ideal between the Concert and the Dreadnought, it combines optimum ergonomics with great tonal flexibility.
• The impeccable craftsmanship is based on solid woods. Sitka spruce top (clarity, dynamics), sapele back/side duo (mahogany substitute with considerably more brilliance), African mahogany neck (warmth, density), ebony fingerboard (precision, homogeneity).
• The woods used to make the Taylor 314ce guitar are responsibly sourced. So you can combine a passion for music with protection of the environment.
• Barrage V-Class Bracing was developed by master luthier Andy Powers. They provide the instrument with exacerbated volume potential (depending on the guitarist's attack), better frequency balance, improved intonation and incredible sustain.
• The Taylor Expression System 2 preamp is one of the finest electronic recording devices for acoustic guitar.
• Taylor's 314ce is handcrafted in the USA by luthier craftsmen and comes with a three-year warranty.
• User-friendly, functional and versatile, the Taylor 314ce acoustic guitar has an authentic personality.
• The Taylor 314ce comes with a highly protective Taylor Deluxe hardshell case.

Three Taylor 314ce highlights that make all the difference

An electro-acoustic guitar for almost every musical register

The combination of the Grand Auditorium size, the Sitka spruce / sapele / ebony wood combination, and the Taylor ES2 preamp makes the 314ce one of the most flexible electro-acoustic guitars on the market, with warm, clear, dynamic tones and a well-balanced midrange. Naturally, it produces enough volume for purely acoustic use, but is equally suited to professional musicians, thanks to its high-performance electronics that facilitate recording on stage or in the studio.

Outstanding ergonomics for exceptional playing comfort

Playing comfort has always been a major concern for Taylor. The 314 ticks all the right boxes: Grand Auditorium body, neither too big nor too small (Taylor proprietary size patented in 1994), Venetian cutaway giving free access to the highest notes, neck profile as pleasant as possible.

Taylor Expression System 2 preamp, absolute respect for sound

The Expression System ES2 preamp is the result of countless hours of research and development. Thanks to judiciously positioned sensors and specific electronic circuitry, the Expression System 2 faithfully reproduces the fundamental character of the guitar, and all the nuances of the musician's playing.
