Description

Bridging the gap between the ever-popular Taylor 200 series and the more premium 300 series, the Taylor 314ce Studio Electro-Acoustic guitar offers guitarists a workhorse Taylor at an attractive price point.

Featuring an all-solid-wood construction body compiled of a Sapele back and sides with a Torrefied Sitka Spruce top. Along with a Mahogany neck with an Ebony fingerboard, this acoustic is resonant and dynamic and has all the beautiful natural overtones that can only be found on solid-wood acoustics. Its ES2 pickup system provides stage-ready acoustic tones and the included lightweight structured Gig Bag offers excellent support and hassle-free transportability. The perfect option for players seeking a workhorse acoustic guitar that covers all styles and is fit for stage and studio without the premium price tag!

Key Features

  • Grand Auditorium – Taylors ultimate all-purpose acoustic guitar shape. Perfect for all styles of music, loud or gentle, fingerpicked or strummed! This versatile body shape sits comfortably and has just the right amount of volume.
  • Torrefied Sitka Spruce: Sitka spruce is favoured on acoustic guitar soundboards for its unparalleled clarity and projection, the torrefying (roasting) process, in essence, seasons the wood to vintage perfection.
  • Ebony Fingerboard: A premium fingerboard tonewood choice, Ebony provides a beautiful brightness to the overall tone of the instrument. A perfect complement to the depth of the Sapele back and sides.
  • V-Class Bracing

    Taylor’s revolutionary V-shaped bracing pattern allows the soundboard of the guitar to resonate and flex naturally without any of the resistance found in more traditional bracing patterns. The guitar becomes louder and fuller with increased sustain and the notes along the fingerboard intonate better and generally sound more in tune with each other. The carefully thought-out design strikes the perfect balance of enough stiffness to remain stable and the perfect amount of flex for a powerful and harmonically rich sound.

    ES2

    Designed with the purpose of capturing as much of the expressive and dynamic properties of an acoustic guitar as possible the Taylor ES2 system is regarded as one of the best acoustic pickup systems on the market. Reimagining the typical Piezo transducers typically found on an acoustic pickup and positioning them behind the saddle rather than underneath led to a guitar pickup that not only sounds fuller and more dynamic but also more natural and musical.

    Acoustic Guitars

    Acoustic guitars produce their sound naturally through the vibration of the strings and body, offering a direct and expressive playing experience. They come in a wide range of styles, including steel string and classical designs, each with its own feel and tonal character. Body shape, wood choice, and construction all influence warmth, projection, and balance, making acoustics suitable for everything from gentle fingerstyle to confident strumming. Whether used for songwriting, practice, or performance, acoustic guitars provide a simple, honest connection between the player and the music.

    Electro-Acoustic Guitars

    Electro-acoustic guitars combine the natural sound and feel of an acoustic guitar with built-in electronics for amplification. Fitted with pickups and preamp controls, they allow you to plug directly into an amp, PA system, or recording setup while retaining an acoustic character. They’re ideal for live performance, rehearsal, and home recording, offering volume control and tonal adjustment without relying solely on microphones. Electro-acoustic guitars suit players who want the warmth and responsiveness of an acoustic instrument with the flexibility to play amplified when needed.

    Guitar

    Explore electric, acoustic and bass guitars across a wide range of playing styles, body shapes and specifications. The most useful differences include scale length, construction, pickup type, neck profile, materials and whether the instrument is intended for amplified, acoustic or hybrid use.
