Taylor 50th Anniversary 314ce LTD - shaded edge burst

Limited edition commemorating the year Taylor was founded. Produced in 1974 units worldwide. The TAYLOR 50th Anniversary 314ce LTD steel-string acoustic guitar features a solid, torrefied Sitka spruce top, a solid Sapele (a variety of mahogany) back and side duo, an Ebony fingerboard and an Expression System ES2 preamp, as well as Taylor V-Class bracing, a milestone in acoustic guitar design. These innovative bracings, developed by master luthier Andy Powers, give the instrument enhanced projection, tonal balance, optimal intonation and incredible sustain. The Grand Auditorium or 000 size is the consensus. A hybrid between the Grand Concert (00 Classic Classical style) and the indispensable Dreadnought, it is considerably more compact than the latter, which obviously makes for more pleasant ergonomics. Its acoustic amplitude is logically less pronounced, but on the other hand its amplification is easier, with fewer feedback problems.

Taylor Expression System 2 Preamp: in order to faithfully reproduce the amplitude and fundamental character of their acoustics, it took Taylor several years to develop the Expression System (ES). Thanks to new sensors and a substantially reworked circuit, the Expression System 2 offers even greater responsiveness and dynamics, and according to Taylor, around 25% more warmth.
