Description

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.

Person playing Taylor 514ce Guitar

514ce body shape

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.

514ce Side detail

Tropical Mahogany
A midrange powerhouse. Mahogany is prized for balance and articulation, making it one of the best all-around tonewoods there is.

514ce Top detail

Western Red Cedar
A true performer for those with a lighter touch, cedar tops yield extra warmth and pair nicely with mahogany and rosewood.

514ce Expression System

Expression System 2
The Expression System® 2 captures more of a guitar’s dynamic properties using a breakthrough behind-the-saddle design.

514ce Cutaway

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

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.
