Taylor Next Generation 314ce Acoustic-Electric Guitar, Natural with Hardshell Case

The Taylor Next Generation 314ce Acoustic-electric Guitar represents the evolution of one of Taylor’s most celebrated models, delivering enhanced tonal depth, modern playability, and refined craftsmanship. Built with a solid Sitka spruce top and solid V-Class braced sapele back and sides, this Grand Auditorium body produces a balanced voice with articulate highs, warm mids, and a focused low end with increased sustain and improved intonation across the fretboard. The V-Class bracing design enhances volume and harmonic consistency, making it equally suited for studio recording, live performance, and expressive fingerstyle playing. The comfortable Venetian cutaway allows easy access to upper frets, while Taylor’s renowned neck profile ensures effortless playability. Equipped with ES2 electronics, the 314ce faithfully captures the guitar’s natural acoustic tone with clarity and dynamic response when plugged in. Elegant appointments, clean lines, and premium craftsmanship make this next-generation 314ce a versatile and inspiring instrument for serious musicians.

• Scalloped V-Class Bracing This latest evolution of our award-winning V-Class voicing architecture enhances the top movement and responsiveness, yielding more warmth, power and open-string richness—all while preserving the ear-pleasing pitch accuracy that V-Class is known for.
• Action Control Neck This player-friendly innovation contributes to a more resonant sound and easier-than-ever string height adjustability. A long-tenon neck joint improves tonal transfer with the body for added warmth and sustain, while the shimless action control feature allows quick, precise string-height adjustments with a simple turn of a bolt through the soundhole.
• Claria Pickup System Developed with input from performing artists and live sound engineers, Claria pairs a reimagined undersaddle piezo pickup with a new proprietary preamp to deliver easy, reliable amplified tone in any live performance setting. Designed for versatility, its clear, natural voice can be shaped from lo-fi warmth to contemporary detail using the soundhole-mounted Volume, Mid-Contour and Tone controls.
