News
The Taylor 314ce features a Grand Auditorium body, Venetian cutaway, and the Taylor Expression System, adding up to a versatile guitar that's perfect for stage and home.
Strong Rhythm
The warm tone and open midrange of African mahogany balances the bright and snappy characteristics of a Sitka spruce top. The resulting combination provides the perfect guitar for strong, rhythmic playing styles.
Grand Size
The Grand Auditorium combines the width and depth of a Dreadnought with a narrower waist. Its sleek design yields a strong treble zing across the tonal spectrum and sharpens the definition of individual notes. The Grand Auditorium is a strong fingerpicking guitar that also adapts well to medium strumming.
Taylor Expression System
Designed to faithfully reproduce your guitar's native tone, the Expression System utilizes patented Dynamic Sensorsto capture top and string vibration like never before. Created in partnership with renowned audio pioneer, Mr. Rupert Neve, the Taylor ES is seamlessly integrated into the design of the guitar from the ground up. Onboard tone controls provide added flavor, or set flat for an uncolored, exceptionally clean amplified sound.
Fit & Finish
The finish used to create this guitar's textured satin back and sides and lustrous gloss top was developed at Taylor for maximum durability and resistance to cold-checking. This ultra violet-cured finish is also more environmentally friendly than traditional lacquer finishes. Available in natural finish.

"It's a Taylor."
Feature:
The expression system Taylor has developed amplifies your sound as if you were simply playing louder. There is no bias. The guitar and the electronics are perfect for each other. The only problem is that if you have to quickly adjust the volume, bass, or trouble, they aren't marked and may get confusing until you get used to which is which.
Quality:
It's a Taylor.
Desirability:
It's a Taylor.
Sound:
This guitar sounds awesome. The lows and highs are definately there, but neither one is overpowering. The mids are great.
Ease of Use:
Easy as any other guitar to play. The expression system is not confusing. (Except as stated above).
Support:
Haven't had to deal with Taylor's customer service.
Overall:
I've owned about 30 acoustic guitars. This is by far the best I've ever owned.
