Description

Elevate your musical journey with the Taylor 514ce-LTD Granadillo, a limited-edition marvel that seamlessly blends artistry with engineering excellence. Designed for the discerning musician, this guitar is crafted with a Grand Auditorium body shape, known for its versatile sound and comfort. Its solid Western red cedar top provides a rich, warm tone, while the granadillo back and sides offer a sonic character akin to rosewood, with a touch more brilliance at the top end.
