Torrefied Spruce Top Adds Vintage Warmth and Punch

The limited-edition 314ce 50th Anniversary gets its musical heart from a torrefied Sitka spruce top. Taylor carefully \"roasts\" the spruce through a proprietary torrefaction process that ages the wood, adding richness and responsiveness. The top takes on a slightly darker hue, with longer sustain and focused midrange punch. Your playing blooms with extra nuance and character. The vintage-inspired torrefied spruce top infuses this 50th Anniversary model with heightened acoustic power.

V-Class Bracing Unlocks the Guitar\'s Full Potential

Taylor\'s advanced V-Class bracing propels this 50th Anniversary 314ce to new sonic heights. A clean-sheet redesign, V-Class bracing boosts volume and natural sustain. Notes ring out with enhanced clarity and intonation accuracy. The 314ce projects with added punch, blooming with complex harmonics. Chords sound fuller and more in tune. V-Class bracing unlocks the guitar\'s complete tonal range, optimizing resonance across the fingerboard.

Plug in the Expression System 2 for Taylor\'s Balanced Tone

Taylor\'s innovative Expression System 2 electronics faithfully amplify the 314ce\'s balanced acoustic voice. The ES2\'s calibrated behind-the-saddle pickup captures a dynamic range of natural tone. The professional-grade preamp has volume, bass and treble controls for dialing in your amplified sound. On stage or in the studio, plug in to hear the ES2 convey the rich, nuanced voice of your Taylor guitar. The ES2 makes this 50th Anniversary 314ce a true acoustic-electric powerhouse.
