Description

To celebrate five decades of Taylor innovation and craftsmanship, the 50th Anniversary Builder’s Edition 314ce LTDelevates one of Taylor’s most beloved U.S.-made models to an entirely new level of refinement.

Finished in a striking Kona burst with Taylor’s ultra-smooth Silent Satin sheen, this guitar blends vintage-inspired aesthetics with contemporary design mastery.

Equipped with Taylor’s Expression System® 2 electronics, it delivers exceptional amplified tone that captures every nuance of your performance. Each guitar ships in a Taylor deluxe hardshell case, ensuring lasting protection and presentation.
