Taylor 314ce Studio Grand Auditorium Electro Acoustic, Shaded Edgeburst Overview
For decades, the Taylor sapele/spruce Grand Auditorium 314ce has been a player favourite thanks to its workhorse utility and the rich tone of its all-solid-wood body. With their new 314ce Studio, they’ve refined the design to make it more attractively priced and given it an aesthetic refresh.
Notable distinctions include a torrefied spruce top, rounded body edges with black and white top edge trim, an all-gloss body, a nut width of 1-11/16 inches, 4mm dot fretboard inlays (Italian acrylic), a faux tortoiseshell pickguard, and the inclusion of a structured gig bag for easy portability.
This Studio edition is available either with a natural or light shaded edgeburst top (the same edgeburst featured on their 50th Anniversary 314ce LTD).
Like the standard 314ce, this model sports a 3-ring black rosette and Taylor nickel tuners, is voiced with V-Class bracing, and comes with onboard ES2 electronics.
