Taylor AD14ce 50th Anniversary Edition
Built to celebrate Taylor?s 50th anniversary, the AD14ce-SB LTD introduces a second cutaway Grand Auditorium guitar to the American Dream Series. This U.S.-made model, crafted with a solid walnut/spruce tonewood pairing, a hand-sprayed tobacco sunburst top, and a firestripe pickguard, offers a playing experience as musically satisfying as it is visually appealing. A 50th Anniversary guitar in the American Dream Series is especially fitting, as the series is named after the guitar workshop where co-founders Bob Taylor and Kurt Listug first met?and eventually purchased?to launch Taylor Guitars in 1974.
The AD14ce-SB LTD follows the distilled design ethos of the series, combining workhorse versatility with neo-vintage aesthetic appeal. The firestripe faux tortoiseshell pickguard on the sunburst top creates a striking visual harmony with the golden glow at the center of the burst. Other subtle details include chamfered body edges for enhanced comfort, a matte-finished body, Italian acrylic dot inlays, gold Taylor tuning machines, silver side dots, and, emblematic of all 50th Anniversary models, ebony bridge pins with gold acrylic dots.
Tonally, the walnut and spruce pairing delivers a versatile acoustic palette, making the AD14ce-SB LTD equally suited for intricate fingerpicked melodies, strummed chords with vibrant sustain, and everything in between. Walnut contributes pronounced midrange presence and a balanced blend of warm lows and clear highs. The responsiveness of the spruce top, combined with our V-Class bracing architecture, allows the strings to ring out with clarity and pleasing musical harmony. Thanks to the popular Grand Auditorium shape, players can rely on a well-rounded guitar that adapts easily to various playing styles.
The guitar comes equipped with ES2 electronics and a commemorative 50th Anniversary label. It includes a lightweight yet ultra-durable AeroCase.
Highlights
Grand Auditorium
Taylor?s signature body shape delivers ultimate versatility in acoustic tone.
Walnut
Walnut?s crisp highs are balanced by deep, woody lows that emerge as the guitar is played in.
Sitka Spruce
The most commonly used top wood for guitars, Sitka spruce produces a broad dynamic range and accommodates a versatile range of playing styles.
Expression System 2
The Expression System 2 captures more of a guitar?s dynamic properties thanks to a revolutionary design behind the saddle.
Venetian Cutaway
The Venetian cutaway is known for its soft, rounded lines. The slope of the cutaway?s peak will vary depending on the body shape.
V-Class Bracing
Our patented V-Class bracing is a revolutionary new pattern?a new sonic engine?that marks a major shift away from traditional steel-string bracing.
