Taylor 514CE Next Generation

A warm, responsive cedar/mahogany Grand Auditorium with Taylor’s V-Class bracing, Venetian cutaway, and ES2 electronics - balanced, articulate, and ready to help write your next tune.

Cedar’s warm midrange and quick response have long made this a favorite among fingerstylists and players with a lighter touch. On this mahogany/cedar Grand Auditorium, Taylor’s V-Class bracing enhances those natural strengths, delivering greater power, longer sustain, and improved intonation up and down the fretboard thanks to a more controlled response from the top. Mahogany adds its own dry, focused character, emphasizing the midrange with a warm, clear punch that works beautifully for strumming and blues. Appointments include faux tortoise shell binding and pickguard, a faux tortoise/ivoroid rosette, and Taylor’s striking Century fretboard inlay in grained ivoroid with a matching peghead motif. A Venetian cutaway offers easy upper-fret access, while onboard ES2 electronics provide natural amplified tone when needed. Ships in a deluxe hardshell case.
