Taylor 314ce Sitka Spruce / Sapele - Natural
If there’s a sweet spot between stage-ready versatility and timeless acoustic character, the Taylor 314ce hits it square on. Crafted with a Grand Auditorium body and premium tonewoods, this guitar is made for musicians who need a workhorse that never compromises on tone, feel, or finesse.
At its heart is a solid Sitka spruce top — a tried-and-true tonewood beloved for its clarity, punch, and wide dynamic range. It handles everything from delicate fingerpicking to bold strumming without flinching. Paired with solid sapele back and sides, you get a full-bodied tone with focused midrange warmth and a subtle brightness that keeps your sound present and alive in any mix.
What makes the 314ce really sing is Taylor’s V-Class bracing. This cutting-edge internal design improves sustain and projection while enhancing intonation across the fretboard. It brings out the best in your playing, offering more richness, more resonance, and a level of balance that seasoned players will immediately recognise.
And then there’s the playing comfort — Taylor’s famously smooth neck, a cutaway that gives easy access to the upper frets, and a body shape that feels just right whether you’re seated in a session or standing on stage.
Plugged in, the Expression System 2 brings out the natural voice of the guitar with studio-level clarity. It’s dynamic, responsive, and ready for any venue — from the pub to the festival stage.
At Musicmaker, we’ve always said the 314ce is the guitar that does it all — and does it brilliantly.
Whether you’re laying down tracks, leading worship, or taking the stage, the Taylor 314ce is built to go the distance. Honest, elegant, and endlessly expressive — it's a guitar that grows with you.
