From Our Catalog
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.

"I Own Your Dream Guitar!"
Feature:
I "like" the included case (better constructed than any one of my previous guitars was), the cord terminating in microphone DIN connector, the combo screw driver/wrench, for neck adjustments, and the included Elixir NanoWeb Light strings.

Quality:
Would be hard to tell it was "mass produced" if you didn't know.

Desirability:
If you are a singer/guitar player, and you don't have this guitar, or another Taylor, you don't sound as good as you could sound.

Sound:
Never have had an accoustic electric guitar that sounded, when plugged in, like I shoved a microphone in the sound hole, until this one. This instrument makes me a better guitar player, without even getting any better.

Support:
Bought ebony/abalone string pegs, after I bought it, from their website...was a breeze to deal with.

Overall:
I've bought my ultimate guitar...all others will pale in comparison.
