Tonewoods and V-Class bracing for a fat sound

Solid tonewoods and patented bracing

While the top made of finest Sitka spr uce produces a sound rich in overtones with lightning-fast response, the back and sides made of Sapele contribute a pronounced tonal warmth in the basses and mids. This combination of the tried-and-true and the exotic results in a balanced overall sound that promises pure playing pleasure to singer-songwriters and all acoustic enthusiasts. Meanwhile, the necessary assertiveness is provided by the fully solid construction and the in-house V-Class bracing, which result in improved vibration behavior with extended Sustain and improved intonation.

Finger-friendly playability

Besides its great sound, the Taylor 314ce - Special Edition Ltd. comes up with high playability. The mahogany neck with its pleasant weight fits well in the hand, while the ebony fingerboard allows effortless gliding of the picking hand over all 20 frets. The nut width of 44.5 mm fulfills the requirements for powerful strumming and flatpicking, while a generous cutaway allows access to the very high positions, so that the entire 648 mm scale can be played effortlessly.

Innovative pickup system

For the ultimate stage success, the guitar is equipped with the Taylor Expression System 2, which definitely takes acoustic guitar amplification to the next Level. The dynamic piezo system directly picks up the acoustic signals from each pair of strings, transmitting pristine sound that perfectly showcases the guitar's natural tone. The treble and bass frequencies as well as the volume can be individually adjusted by means of three controls discreetly integrated into the upper frame.

With its stunning appearance, the Taylor 314ce - Special Edition Ltd. is also something for the eye.

Attractive design

The Taylor 314ce - Special Edition Ltd. is rounded off by an expressive design with numerous visual highlights. While the top is finished in a stunning vintage sunburst high-gloss finish, the tight grain of the back and sides is optimally accentuated by a natural satin finish. The chic look is completed by the striking Firestripe pickguard, a Three-Ring rosette and delicate acrylic Gemstone inlays, which unmistakably express the passion for guitar building with attention to detail.

Taylor - The epitome of fine quality

As one of the largest guitar manufacturers, Taylor is truly an authority in the production of first-class instruments. Thus, professional manufacturing by skilled crafts men results in the very finest products for life, whose value is always maintained - or even increased! This is due in equal part to exquisite tonewoods, which do not warp due to long storage and selected quality and as a result can hardly be surpassed in terms of high quality. Only spruce, mahogany, cedar or Koa of proven quality are used for the tops. By the way, careful production in combination with the best materials does not only apply to guitars. Guitar bags and all accessories are also of first-class quality. Finally, a conscientious final inspection does not let even the smallest defects pass and ensures absolutely flawless guitars even before shipment.

And that's not all: Taylor also attaches great importance to environmentally conscious actions.

Ebony & Koa: Sustainability at Taylor Guitars.

Uncontrolled clearing of forests and overexploitation lead to massively endangered wood species that can no longer regenerate due to the high pace of extraction. These include ebony and koa in particular, whose dwindling stocks and the resulting ecological problems have prompted a rethink at Taylor Guitars.

Taylor Sustainability

Sustainable ebony cultivation in Cameroon

Because ebony 's hard, supple texture makes it particularly finger-friendly, it has long been the preferred choice for making fingerboards. Its attractive appearance is also extremely popular for bridges, headstock rests, bridge Pins and Bindings. However, high demand and a thriving black market outstripped stocks, landing ebony on the Red List of Endangered Species in 1994. Moreover, only the jet-black heartwood, which makes up only a fraction of the tree, was used, resulting in a disproportionately large amount of waste in production. In order to protect the forests, Taylor has thus been working since 2011 with the Crelicam Wood Mill in Yaoundé in Cameroon to promote controlled consumption by processing waste products.

"We need to use the ebony that the forest gives us" - Bob Taylor

Siglo Tonewoods Project

Koa acacia populations have also suffered severe losses over the last 20 years. Unsustainable forestry as well as overexploitation led to a decline that can only be stopped by proactive action and reforestation. Therefore, Taylor Guitars together with Pacific Rim Tonewoods founded the Siglo Tonewoods project, which aims to rebuild the Hawaiian virgin forest. This is a large cultivation area for koa acacia and other species, which allows the use of koa wood on a controlled scale.
