Taylor 314ce V-Class Acoustic-Electric Guitar – Natural Sapele

The Taylor 314ce is a professional-grade acoustic-electric guitar that embodies the hallmark craftsmanship and sonic balance Taylor is known for. As one of the best-selling U.S.-made acoustics in its class, this model offers a premium playing experience for performers, songwriters, and session players alike. Its Grand Auditorium body shape strikes the perfect balance between volume, articulation, and versatility—making it a true all-purpose instrument.

Crafted with solid sapele back and sides and a solid Sitka spruce top, the 314ce delivers a rich tonal spectrum, characterized by a punchy, articulate midrange, shimmering highs, and a warm, wood-focused low end. Taylor’s revolutionary V-Class bracing enhances volume, sustain, and intonation across the entire fretboard, offering players a new level of responsiveness and clarity.

Equipped with Taylor’s Expression System® 2 electronics, the 314ce translates its complex acoustic voice beautifully in live and studio settings. Visually refined with crisp white binding, a striking firestripe pickguard, and a sleek Venetian cutaway for upper-fret access, this guitar is as stage-ready as it is sonically dynamic.
