Taylor Builder's Edition 514ce Grand Auditorium Acoustic Electric Guitar, Natural Top

Expertly crafted for unmatched comfort and exceptional tonal clarity, the Builder’s Edition 514ce boasts ergonomic contours, beautiful aesthetics and our finest all-solid-wood construction. This cutaway Grand Auditorium pairs a natural Sitka spruce top with Shamel ash back and sides, responsibly sourced from trees in need of removal from municipal areas in Southern California. Together, they offer a warm, punchy midrange, crisp trebles and impressive low-end presence. Taylor's innovative V-Class internal bracing improves sustain, volume and intonation along the entire neck. Thoughtful design touches such as a bevelled armrest, chamfered edges, a contoured cutaway and a sleek Curve Wing bridge make it incredibly comfortable to hold and play. The back, sides, and neck showcase an artfully applied Kona burst and the body features a rich gloss finish. Premium details include Taylor's Compass inlay scheme, Gotoh 510 antique chrome tuners, a firestripe pickguard, and black/ivoroid purfling. Equipped with ES2 electronics for rich, natural plugged-in tone, this model ships with a deluxe hardshell case.
