Taylor Next Generation 314ce Grand Auditorium Cutaway Electro Acoustic Guitar

The 314ce delivers the signature Taylor experience, combining articulate, balanced tone with inviting playability. Now that playing experience is bolstered by our new acoustic voicing, long-tenon action control neck and new pickup designs. Between the scalloped bracing and long-tenon neck joint, players will love the mix of well-defined notes, warm resonance and pitch accuracy of the long-sustaining notes. Aesthetic details include black binding with black and white purfling, a white rosette with alternating black and white purfling, a firestripe pickguard, a full gloss body and nickel tuning machines.

• Long-Tenon Action Control Neck -The long-tenon neck joint improves the neck-to-body connection, adding warmth and depth to the guitar’s voice. At the same time, the Action Control feature makes adjusting string height quicker and more precise than ever — no need to remove strings or the neck. Players can dial in their preferred setup in seconds and adapt on the fly to changing styles or shifting climate conditions. It’s the ultimate fusion of tone, stability and setup convenience.
• Scalloped V-Class Bracing - The latest evolution of Taylor’s V-Class bracing introduces a scalloped profile that unlocks a warmer low end and richer open-string resonance, while preserving the balance, pitch accuracy and projection that define V-Class. The guitars are now seasoned with a touch of low-end depth that adds more fullness to the voice.
• Claria System Acoustic Electronics - Developed with extensive input from touring artists and live sound engineers, Taylor’s new Claria System reimagines the under-saddle piezo pickup to deliver consistent plug-and-play acoustic tone in any setting. A proprietary preamp tames the harshness of traditional piezos and incorporates soundhole-mounted controls: Volume, Tone and a versatile Mid-Contour knob. The result is a consistent, stage-ready tone that’s easy to shape for any setting — from solo café gigs to large-venue performances.
