Taylor 514ce Next Generation Acoustic Electric w/Case
Grand Auditorium warmth with cedar sensitivity, mahogany focus and Claria electronics
Overview
The Taylor 514ce Next Generation Acoustic Electric brings a classic cedar and mahogany tonewood pairing into Taylor’s modern Grand Auditorium platform. A Western Red cedar top gives the guitar a warm, rounded and touch-sensitive response, while mahogany back and sides add midrange punch, low-end resonance and a dry, woody personality. With Scalloped V-Class bracing, Taylor’s Action Control Neck, Claria electronics and a deluxe hardshell case, this 514ce is built for players who want expressive acoustic warmth, easy playability and dependable plugged-in sound.
Features
The Western Red cedar top is ideal for players who love a softer touch and an immediate response under the fingers. It adds warmth, nuance and a mellow character that pairs beautifully with mahogany’s focused midrange and natural dryness. Together, these tonewoods give the 514ce a rich, player-friendly voice that suits fingerstyle, light-to-medium strumming, writing, recording and expressive live performance.
Taylor’s Next Generation design adds Scalloped V-Class bracing with a relief rout to increase volume, sustain and open-string expressiveness while enhancing warmth and resonance. The Action Control Neck combines a long-tenon neck joint with a patented adjustment system, giving players added depth and an easier way to fine-tune string height for their preferred feel.
The 514ce is finished with clean, refined appointments that suit its warm and organic voice. Meridian inlays, white body binding, black-and-white top purfling, a green abalone rosette, nickel Taylor tuners and a full-body gloss finish give the guitar an elegant 500 Series look. The Claria Acoustic Pickup System provides reliable amplified tone for live settings, and the included deluxe hardshell case offers proper protection between sessions and performances.
