Description

Edit description

The Taylor 314ce-N is a modern marvel for musicians seeking the perfect blend of classical elegance and contemporary playability. This Grand Auditorium cutaway model offers a rich, balanced tonal palette, ideal for both intricate fingerstyle and robust strumming. With a slimmer-than-usual neck width of 47.6 mm, it provides a comfortable grip, making it an excellent choice for players transitioning from steel-string to nylon-string guitars or for any guitarist yearning for a versatile acoustic companion.

The heart of this guitar's sound lies in its construction. A solid Sitka spruce top combined with solid sapele back and sides ensures a warm, resonant tone with plenty of clarity and projection. The mahogany neck and ebony fingerboard add to its playability, allowing for smooth transitions across its 20 frets.

Equipped with the Taylor ES-N electronics system, this guitar delivers amplified sound with exceptional clarity and precision, thanks to its active volume, treble, and bass controls. Whether you're performing on stage or recording in the studio, the Taylor 314ce-N ensures your music is heard in its purest form.

Wrapped in a brown Taylor Deluxe hardshell case, this guitar is not only a joy to play but also a pleasure to own, ensuring your investment is well protected.
