With excellent high-end response, honest tone and great projection - The Taylor 314ce is the entry level all solid wood US built Grand Auditorium. The Sitka spruce top provides a broad dynamic range and top end shimmer that compliments the rich, full body delivered by the Sapele back and sides. Combined with V-Class bracing - Taylor's latest revolutionary leap forward in standards of guitar building, achieving higher output and better projection distributed more evenly across the tonal spectrum – the 314ce is a cut above the rest at this price bracket. With V-Class guitars you’ll see improved natural intonation due to the soundboard moving in a more natural motion, sympathetic to the resonance of individual notes and the way they interact with one another, and The 314ce's ES2 electronics enable full control over a natural-sounding pickup, whether you’re on stage or DI’d in the studio.

Sapele
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
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.
