The Taylor 514ce blends classic tonewoods with Taylor's latest innovations to create an acoustic that's as expressive as it is comfortable to play. Built around the ever-versatile Grand Auditorium body, it feels equally at home in the hands of fingerstyle players, singer-songwriters, and strummers who want an instrument that responds naturally to every nuance of their touch. Smooth, balanced, and inspiring, the 514ce is designed to become the guitar you reach for every chance you get.

The pairing of mahogany back and sides with a Western Red cedar top produces a warm, focused voice that's rich in character and remarkably responsive, especially to a lighter touch. Every note blooms with smooth warmth, a clear midrange, and an inviting, rounded tone that's perfect for intimate performances and expressive playing. Taylor's scalloped V-Class bracing adds greater sustain, volume, and harmonic balance, while the innovative Action Control Neck enhances resonance and makes dialing in your preferred playing action quick and effortless. When it's time to plug in, the Claria Acoustic Pickup System faithfully delivers the guitar's natural voice with clarity and confidence for the stage or studio.

Finished with elegant appointments including Meridian fretboard inlays, a green abalone rosette, and a rich gloss finish, the 514ce looks every bit as refined as it sounds. A Venetian cutaway offers easy access to the upper frets, and the included deluxe hardshell case keeps your investment protected wherever your music takes you. Experience the warmth, responsiveness, and exceptional craftsmanship of the Taylor 514ce. Available now at Haggerty's Music.
