Taylor 514ce Grand Auditorium Acoustic-Electric - Torrefied Spruce Top with Urban Ironbark Back and Sides

---

Urban Wood, Fresh Sound

Formerly the home of mahogany models, the 500 Series now boasts back and sides of Urban Ironbark, an all-new tonewood sourced from Taylor's always-growing urban wood initiative. As a back and side wood, Urban Ironbark yields a bold, rich and sweet voice that's sure to impress players of all styles, giving these guitars piano-like clarity with a smooth character that amplifies each player's unique touch. Paired with torrefied spruce tops for an extra seasoned tone, the combination creates a supremely balanced sound that performs exceptionally well on stage or in the studio. If you're looking for a guitar with a totally original, unexpected musical personality, look no further than the 500 Series.

514ce Features

• Solid Urban Ironbark body for bold, rich sound
• Torrefied spruce top for sweetness and depth
• Yields remarkable balance across the frequency spectrum
• Grand Auditorium body for versatile, all-purpose tone
• Includes hardshell case and built-in ES2 electronics

Taylors first Grand Auditorium guitar featuring back and sides of Urban Ironbark, the 514ce delivers a sweet, muscular sound that combines rosewood's high-fidelity voice with mahogany's warm and punchy midrange and spectrum-wide sonic balance. Paired with a torrefied Sitka spruce top for a played-in, mature sound and V-Class bracing for improved volume and sustain, the 514ce yields power ideal for heavy strummers along with touch sensitivity that gives it a wide dynamic range that's great for fingerstyle players. With new Aerial inlays in Italian acrylic, a single-ring abalone rosette, a subtle stain that highlights Urban Ironbark's rich red hues, a lightly shaded edgeburst and gloss-finish body, the 514ce blends traditional and contemporary visual styles. It ships with ES2 electronics and a deluxe hardshell case.
