Legendary Acoustic-electric from Taylor
V-Class bracing for next-level volume and sustain
Bracing is the internal framework of an acoustic guitar that helps shape its sound. With Taylor’s V-Class bracing, an acoustic guitar top can be both stiff and flexible — for more volume and sustain. V-Class bracing provides stiffness parallel to the strings for more rigidity and, hence, sustain. Flexibility on either side generates the air movement necessary for robust projection. It’s the best of both worlds. This groundbreaking innovation also improves intonation — not only producing notes that are louder and have longer sustain, but are also more in tune with each other. Guitarists at Sweetwater have been blown away with the enhanced volume and sustain that this system delivers.
Cutting-edge Taylor Expression System 2 electronics
The Taylor Expression System 2 (ES2) built into the 914ce is a true standout in the field. Central to the ES2 are the three uniquely positioned and individually calibrated pickup sensors, which work together to capture the most accurate, cleanest acoustic tone possible. In addition, a custom-designed preamp works in tandem with these sensors to further enhance the 914ce’s natural tone. The ES2 is a favorite system among guitarists here at Sweetwater.
