The Taylor Next Generation 514ce Acoustic-electric Guitar is where classic craftsmanship meets modern innovation, offering musicians a harmonious blend of tradition and technology. This Grand Auditorium model is designed for the discerning guitarist looking for both acoustic warmth and electric versatility. A Western red cedar top delivers a warm, intimate tone ideal for fingerstyle playing, while the neotropical mahogany back and sides contribute lush midrange frequencies and beautiful harmonic overtones.

Taylor’s Scalloped V-Class bracing is a standout feature, enhancing low-end response and providing a rich, resonant sound with impeccable balance and sustain. Whether you're strumming open chords or picking complex patterns, this guitar maintains pitch accuracy and note definition across the fretboard.

Plugging in is a breeze with Taylor’s Claria electronics system. The under-saddle pickup and intuitive soundhole-mounted controls let you shape your tone with ease, whether on stage or in the studio. The Action Control neck system allows for easy adjustments to the neck angle, letting you customize the action to your playing style without fuss.

The 514ce also boasts aesthetic touches like a Crelicam ebony fingerboard adorned with Meridian Italian acrylic inlays, a faux tortoise pickguard, and a single-ring rosette, all combining to offer a visually appealing instrument that sounds as good as it looks.
