Taylor 314ce Studio Grand Auditorium Acoustic Electric Guitar - Shaded Edgeburst

Crafted with all-solid tonewoods, tone-enhancing interior bracing and a striking sunburst finish, the Taylor 314ce Studio makes pro-quality sound more accessible than ever. This versatile, comfortable Grand Auditorium acoustic-electric boasts back and sides of solid sapele, a mahogany-like tonewood with a warm, punchy midrange voice. A solid top of torrefied Sitka spruce yields bold projection and a warm, aged-in quality thanks to our special roasting recipe, while our V-Class bracing adds more volume, longer sustain and clearer harmony between notes all the way up the neck. A narrower nut width of 1-11/16 inches and our slender neck profile makes for buttery-smooth fretting at any skill level, and the onboard ES2 electronics make it easy to plug in and play with clear amplified tone. This model is finished with an attractive shaded edgeburst top treatment and an all-gloss body, and includes a structured gig bag for convenient storage and portability.

The Taylor 314ce Studio is the perfect option for players seeking a versatile acoustic guitar that excels in both stage and studio without the premium price tag. Visit Sadek Music to find out more!

V-Class Bracing

Taylor's revolutionary V-shaped bracing pattern allows the soundboard of the guitar to resonate and flex naturally, without the resistance found in more traditional bracing patterns. This innovative design helps the guitar become louder and fuller, with increased sustain, while the notes along the fingerboard intonate better and generally sound more in tune with each other. The carefully thought-out design strikes the perfect balance of enough stiffness to remain stable and the ideal amount of flex for a powerful, harmonically rich sound. You can experience the magic of this bracing system in the Taylor 314ce Studio and other fine models, available at Sadek Music.

ES2

Designed with the purpose of capturing as much of the expressive and dynamic properties of an acoustic guitar as possible, the Taylor ES2 system is regarded as one of the best acoustic pickup systems on the market. Reimagining the typical piezo transducers found on an acoustic pickup and positioning them behind the saddle rather than underneath led to a guitar pickup that not only sounds fuller and more dynamic, but also more natural and musical. Experience the brilliance of Taylor's ES2 system and the unrivaled tonal clarity it offers, available at Sadek Music.
