The 2026 Taylor 314ce Grand Auditorium represents the next step in Taylor’s continuous evolution of sound, playability, and innovation. A longtime favorite among working musicians and discerning enthusiasts, the 314ce now comes equipped with a trio of groundbreaking upgrades: the new long-tenon Action Control Neck, scalloped V-Class bracing, and Taylor’s advanced Claria pickup system. The result is a guitar that delivers more warmth and sustain, improved dynamic response, and unmatched setup flexibility — making it easier than ever to achieve studio-ready tone both acoustically and plugged in. Whether you're writing, recording, or performing, the 314ce delivers a finely tuned blend of classic tone and modern performance.

At its heart, the 314ce pairs a solid Sitka spruce top with sapele back and sides, offering the signature Grand Auditorium balance of warmth, clarity, and dynamic range. The scalloped V-Class bracing lends deeper bass and enhanced resonance, while still retaining Taylor’s characteristic articulation and pitch accuracy. The new Action Control Neck allows players to make micro-adjustments to string height without removing strings — ideal for adapting to different tunings, styles, or environments. Meanwhile, the Claria pickup system delivers natural, feedback-resistant tone, with intuitive soundhole-mounted controls that make dialing in your live sound effortless.

Visually, the 2026 model sports a refined aesthetic with a gloss body, firestripe pickguard, and white rosette with black/white purfling, complemented by Weathervane inlays and nickel hardware. This is more than just an updated version of a best-seller — it’s a future-forward acoustic-electric that bridges Taylor’s legendary craftsmanship with innovative technology built for today’s players. Available now at Haggerty’s Music, this acoustic guitar represents the next generation of Taylor excellence.
