Key Features
The Taylor 314ce 50th Anniversary Electro Acoustic is a celebration five decades of exquisite craftsmanship and innovation. Limited to just 1,974 pieces worldwide, this exclusive model brings the best of both vintage and contemporary design elements. That starts with a torrefied Sitka spruce top and solid sapele back and sides, a pairing that produces a punchy midrange and a warm, woody low end, and perfectly balanced by sparkling trebles. This versatile Grand Auditorium model has been given a special roasting process, adding an aged-in depth and sweetness to its sound.
Taylor's signature V-Class bracing enhances volume and sustain, generating greater harmony down the neck. Aesthetically, this model features a subtly shaded edgeburst around the body and neck, and a bold firestripe faux-tortoiseshell pickguard. It also includes gold tuners and ebony bridge pins with gold acrylic dots. Topped off with Taylor's advanced ES2 electronics for a natural amplified sound, and a premium hard shell case for top-tier protection, the 50th Anniversary 314-ce is an instrument that any Taylor or acoustic enthusiast won't want to miss!

In honour of Taylor's 50th anniversary, the 314ce features unique design elements that set it apart from standard models. Every aspect, from the distinct edgeburst finishing to the celebration-themed inlays on the fretboard, commemorates Taylor's half-century of guitar-building prowess. The firestripe faux-tortoiseshell pickguard and golden tuners add a touch of vintage class, while the ebony bridge pins with gold acrylic dots represent the brand's commitment to aesthetic beauty and quality.
The heart of the Taylor 314ce's exceptional tone comes from its torrefied Sitka spruce top, which undergoes a special ageing process to simulate the mellow sound of an older guitar. This meticulous process results in a soundboard that responds more dynamically, delivering a refined sonic experience with enhanced resonance and clarity. The Sitka spruce's natural elasticity, combined with the torrefaction treatment, offers players a balanced tonal spectrum that excels across genres and playing styles.
Taylor's patented V-Class bracing revolutionises the internal architecture of the guitar, directly impacting its tonal characteristics. This groundbreaking design allows the top to vibrate more freely, boosting volume and extending sustain. The increase in sonic resonance creates a more harmonic agreement between notes across the fretboard, making the 314ce not just a pleasure to play, but also a formidable instrument that outputs clear, articulate sound no matter how complex the chords or aggressive the strumming pattern.
The 314ce 50th Anniversary model comes equipped with Taylor's Expression System 2 (ES2) electronics, ensuring that the guitar's superior tone is faithfully amplified on stage or in the studio. Unlike traditional pickup systems, the ES2 features a behind-the-saddle design, which captures more of the instrument's dynamic properties. When plugged in, the ES2 provides crystal-clear, natural-sounding acoustic tones that need minimal EQ tweaking, offering reliability and performance to gigging musicians and recording artists alike.
