The Taylor 514ce, available at Haggerty's Music, introduces a stunning new era of tonal possibilities as the first Grand Auditorium model crafted with Urban Ironbark back and sides. This unique tonewood offers a rich, muscular voice that combines the clarity and brilliance of rosewood with the warmth and punchy midrange of mahogany, creating a perfectly balanced sonic palette.

Topped with torrefied Sitka spruce, the 514ce delivers a mature, "played-in" tone enhanced by Taylor’s innovative V-Class bracing, which elevates volume, sustain, and harmonic response. This makes it a powerhouse for strummers while offering exceptional touch sensitivity for fingerstyle players, making it a versatile choice for any style.

Visually, the 514ce strikes a refined balance between classic and modern. The new Aerial inlays in Italian acrylic, an abalone rosette, and a subtle stain that accentuates the deep red hues of Urban Ironbark are complemented by a shaded edgeburst and a high-gloss finish. Paired with Taylor’s ES2 electronics and shipped in a deluxe hardshell case, the 514ce is both a work of art and a performance-ready instrument.
