Players looking for a new sound to add to their acoustic toolkit will appreciate the snappy, classical-inspired tone of the 314ce-N. Solid sapele back and sides with a Sitka spruce top serve up a bold, punchy nylon-string sound with a rich midrange, warm lows and articulate highs. Combined with the 1-7/8"" nut width, it all adds up to the ideal package for fingerstyle players, offering plenty of string spacing without making it difficult to fret complex chords. The appointment package maintains a performance-focused aesthetic with Gemstone inlays and a glossy top finish with satin back and sides. It includes our ES-N pickup for authentic live tone and ships with a hardshell case.
When you think of a Taylor Guitar the chances are you think of a Grand Auditorium. For over 20 years it has been the classic Taylor body shape, with just the right blend of tonal balance, projection, note articulation, top end shimmer and unbelievable feel playability - it has been a hallmark of the guitar industry and a go to for players of all ages, abilities and musical direction. With a width / depth like that of the dreadnought but with sleeker lines and a narrower waist that make it easily identifiable from across the room - this most versatile of guitar platforms provides a level playing field and from bedroom, touring or studio musicians alike, just makes you want to keep on playing.
Sapele produces a warm and mellow tonal quality, similar to that of mahogany, for a full and balanced tone with a good helping of volume. Its woody response and punchy midrange make it a popular choice for players seeking a fundamental-rich sound with minimal overtones.
Sitka Spruce is the most commonly used wood for guitar tops. Sitka generates a broad dynamic range and accommodates numerous playing styles from aggressive strumming to fingerpicking. As a guitar soundboard, Sitka spruce is the tonewood standard of the modern era. It’s used on 85-90 percent of the guitars that Taylor makes. Its combination of strength and elasticity translates into a broad dynamic range, yielding crisp articulation and allowing for everything from aggressive strumming and flatpicking to fingerpicking.
The ES-N® is a single-source, under-saddle transducer featuring a preamp and tone controls that were customized to complement the nylon-string voice. Our standard Expression System control knobs enable plenty of tone-shaping and preserve the natural design aesthetic. Installed on nylon-string models.
