Overview

Blending performance and affordability in a refined design.

The Taylor 314ce Studio acoustic-electric guitar brings together the classic appeal of Taylor’s Grand Auditorium shape with thoughtful refinements that enhance both tone and style. This model offers players the versatile sound of a Grand Auditorium body paired with premium tonewoods at a more attractive price point. The 314ce Studio's torrefied Sitka spruce top, all-gloss body and chamfered edges make it as visually stunning as it is sonically rich, providing a well-rounded experience for players of all levels.

Torrefied Sitka Spruce and Sapele for Bold, Expressive Tone

One of the standout features of the 314ce Studio is its torrefied Sitka spruce top, which has undergone a specialized heating process to give it the sound and feel of a guitar that’s been played for years. This enhances the tonal depth and resonance, allowing notes to sustain longer and with greater clarity. Paired with sapele back and sides, this guitar delivers a warm, punchy sound with balanced highs and lows, making it an excellent choice for both fingerpickers and strummers.

Taylor’s V-Class Bracing for Superior Sound Projection

The 314ce Studio is equipped with Taylor’s revolutionary V-Class bracing, a major innovation that improves the guitar’s volume, sustain, and overall tonal clarity. V-Class bracing aligns the top of the guitar in such a way that notes resonate more fully and in harmony with each other, creating a purer, richer sound. This makes the 314ce Studio more responsive, allowing players to enjoy better intonation and greater consistency across the entire fretboard.

Expression System 2 Electronics for Studio-Quality Sound

For amplified performances, the 314ce Studio comes equipped with Taylor’s Expression System 2 electronics. This system features a behind-the-saddle transducer that captures the natural acoustic qualities of the guitar with exceptional clarity. Whether you’re playing live or recording, the ES2 offers professional-grade sound with easy-to-use volume, bass, and treble controls for fine-tuning your tone. The system ensures that the guitar’s natural sound is faithfully represented through any amplification setup.

Perfect for the Versatile Player Seeking Tone and Value

The 314ce Studio is ideal for versatile players who want premium tone without a premium price tag. Whether you’re a gigging musician looking for a reliable workhorse or a home studio enthusiast seeking high-end sound for recordings, this model delivers on all fronts. With its rich tonal palette and comfortable playability, the 314ce Studio is also an excellent choice for collectors who appreciate the combination of style, value, and exceptional craftsmanship.
