The Taylor 514ce is an acoustic built for players who appreciate warmth, nuance, and effortless playability. Blending classic tonewoods with Taylor's latest design innovations, it offers an inspiring playing experience that's equally at home on stage, in the studio, or during quiet moments of songwriting. Its Grand Auditorium body provides the perfect balance of comfort and versatility, making it a natural fit whether you're strumming full chords, fingerpicking intricate passages, or accompanying your vocals.

The pairing of a Western Red cedar top with mahogany back and sides gives the 514ce a voice that's warm, responsive, and wonderfully expressive. Cedar's natural sensitivity rewards even the lightest touch with rich, rounded tone and a focused midrange, while mahogany adds clarity and balance that shines across a wide range of musical styles. Taylor's scalloped V-Class bracing increases sustain, projection, and harmonic consistency, and the innovative Action Control Neck enhances resonance while allowing quick, precise action adjustments to keep the guitar playing exactly the way you like it. When it's time to plug in, the Claria electronics faithfully capture every nuance of its natural acoustic voice with exceptional clarity.

Elegant appointments complete this refined instrument, from the full-gloss finish and striking green abalone rosette to the Meridian fretboard inlays and classic faux tortoiseshell pickguard. Every detail reflects Taylor's commitment to craftsmanship, comfort, and musical excellence. Whether you're a performing musician or simply searching for an acoustic that inspires every time you pick it up, the Taylor 514ce is ready to become a lifelong companion. Available now at Haggerty's Music.
