Taylor 50th Anniversary 314ce Limited Edition
This limited-edition 314ce, commemorating Taylor's 50th Anniversary, is a testament to Taylor's commitment to craftsmanship and innovation. They've infused several premium enhancements into the beloved cutaway Grand Auditorium 314ce, starting with a torrefied spruce top. This special treatment not only adds extra responsiveness but also imbues the guitar with a deeper warmth, enriching its musical character.
The torrefaction process slightly darkens the Sitka soundboard, enhancing its vintage appeal, which Tayloe have further accentuated with a meticulously sprayed shaded edgeburst along the body and neck. Adding a bold visual flair is the firestripe faux-tortoise pickguard, complemented by gold Taylor tuners and ebony bridge pins adorned with gold acrylic dots.
Among its distinctive features are a 3-ring rosette with contrasting black and white purfling, black body binding, and Gemstone fretboard and peghead inlays crafted from Italian Acrylic. The guitar boasts a rich full-gloss body finish and proudly displays the limited, specially designed 50th anniversary label.
Sonically, the combination of the torrefied top and Taylor's revolutionary V-Class voicing architecture ensures remarkable musical versatility. This Grand Auditorium delivers the signature Taylor balance and clarity while offering pleasing warmth, projection, and sustain. Coupled with their renowned neck design for exceptional playability, this guitar promises to captivate players from the first strum.
Complete with onboard ES2 electronics and a Taylor deluxe hardshell case, this instrument is a refined, exquisitely crafted musical companion that will inspire countless musical endeavours. Limited to just 1,974 guitars worldwide, it stands as a timeless tribute to 50 years of Taylor excellence.
