Description

Welcome to a world where craftsmanship meets innovation with the Taylor 714ce Acoustic-Electric Guitar. This masterpiece combines traditional artistry with V-Class Bracing, a cutting-edge internal bracing system that elevates your playing experience. The result? Enhanced volume, increased sustain, and improved intonation that lets every note resonate in perfect harmony.

The 714ce is crafted with a Lutz spruce top and Indian rosewood back and sides, a classic tonewood pairing that offers a rich, dynamic sound profile. The Lutz spruce top, a natural hybrid, delivers robust projection and a broad dynamic range, making it ideal for various playing styles. Meanwhile, the Indian rosewood brings a full-bodied resonance, with deep lows and sparkling highs that create a balanced, vibrant tone.

Designed in Taylor's Grand Auditorium body style, the 714ce is versatile enough for fingerpicking and strumming, offering a clear, balanced sound. The slim waist enhances comfort and playability, whether you're seated or standing. A Venetian cutaway adds to its sleek aesthetic while providing easy access to higher frets.

For those who love to play plugged in, the Taylor Expression System 2 electronics capture the guitar's natural voice with stunning clarity. The proprietary pickup design ensures that every nuance of your performance shines through, whether you're on stage or in the studio.

Taylor's 714ce with V-Class Bracing is a triumph of innovation, offering exceptional clarity and dynamic range. With a flawless build and the unique tone enhancements of V-Class bracing, this guitar sings across genres, from strumming to fingerstyle.
