A Tonewood Pairing Not Found Elsewhere in the Taylor Line
The 514ce has long been a popular choice for fingerstyle players for its soft-touch response and warmth. This Grand Auditorium boasts solid mahogany back and sides with a Western Red cedar top, a pairing that generates a punchy, clear midrange complemented by cedar's warmth and roundness. V-Class bracing inside makes for an even more textured, responsive experience with more volume and sustain, and the body shape makes for a highly versatile sound that will appeal to strummers and blues players in addition to fingerstylists. Clean appointments highlight a performance-focused aesthetic, and ES2 electronics give it fast plug-and-play utility.
Grand Auditorium
The GA is Taylor’s most versatile and popular shape, excelling at light-touch fingerstyle as well as strumming. Great for mic’ing and recording, the GA’s balanced mid-range and bright tone exemplify the Taylor voice.
Tropical Mahogany
A midrange powerhouse. Mahogany is prized for balance and articulation, making it one of the best all-around tonewoods there is.
Western Red Cedar
A true performer for those with a lighter touch, cedar tops yield extra warmth and pair nicely with mahogany and rosewood.
Expression System 2
The Expression System® 2 captures more of a guitar’s dynamic properties using a breakthrough behind-the-saddle design.
Venetian Cutaway
The Venetian cutaway is known for its soft, round lines. The sloping peak of the cutaway will vary depending on the shape of the body.
V-Class Bracing
Taylor
patented V-Class bracing is a revolutionary new pattern — a new sonic engine — that marks a major shift away from traditional steel-string bracing patterns.
