The signature Taylor Grand Auditorium body comes now in the form of a Limited Edition 314ce model. Crafted with beautiful tonewoods and superb hardware, the 314ce LTD is designed to please. The Grand Auditorium is still Taylor's best-selling shape thanks to its comfortable feel and powerful acoustic presence, while the addition of a cutaway facilitates playability.
Grand Auditorium Body
The 314ce is shaped to the famous Taylor Grand Auditorium body profile and features a single cutaway allowing for full fret access at the higher registers. The Grand Auditorim 314ce LTD is constructed from exquisite materials, including Tasmanian blackwood in the back and sides. This is a sustainable tonewood which contributes to a clear acoustic voice with plenty of warmth; its midrange is strong and the highs sparkle with clarity, making this model ideal for playing a wide range of musical styles. The body features a Lutz spruce top which is responsive and well-balanced, plus its output is certainly powerful. Performance bracing adds stability to the soundboard to stand the test of time.
Neck
Taylor have fitted a mahogany neck to the 314ce LTD for a smooth playing feel in the hand. The neck meets the body at the 14th fret, while the single body cutaway makes it even easier to reach the higher frets on this 20-fret neck. The neck is topped with an ebony fingerboard which provides a sumptuous playing surface beneath the fingertips. To guide you along, the frets are adorned with Italian acrylic twisted ovals inlays.
Expression System 2 Electronics
Taylor's exclusive Expression System 2 pickup is fitted in the 314ce to give you unparalleled amplification. The ES2 pickup features three uniquely positioned and individually calibrated pickup sensors that faithfully transmit the natural tones of the 314ce through recording equipment or an amplifier. Taylor have patented this behind-the-saddle design and it is one which captures all the tone on offer from the 314ce LTD.
Hardware
The satin finish of the back and sides combined with a gloss body top is kitted out with superb hardware and aesthetics. Faux tortoise binding lines the body while a 3-ring rosette decorates the soundhole. The ebony bridge features abalone dot bridge pins that stand out visually along with the tortoise pickguard. The headstock is fitted with Taylor gold tuners and hardware for a classic Limited Edition feel.
Taylor ensure that you can keep your Limited Edition model well-protected and safely stored by including a Taylor deluxe hardshell case, plus the guitar comes with a Special Edition label.
