From Our Research Team:

Classic Spruce Top, Warm-sounding Sapele Body!

Taylor’s Jumbo 315ce adds a Venetian cutaway and the Taylor Expression System to the six-string Jumbo for a guitar that’s impossible to ignore — or put down. The warm tone and open midrange of sapele balances the bright and snappy characteristics of a Sitka spruce top. The resulting combination provides the perfect guitar for strong, rhythmic playing styles. Designed to faithfully reproduce the 315ce's native tone, the Taylor Expression System utilizes patented Dynamic Sensors to capture top and string vibration like never before. The 315ce is a performing guitarist's dream guitar!





Taylor Guitar 315ce at a Glance:
  • Jumbo-size 6-string acoustic/electric
  • Sitka spruce top, sapele back and sides
  • Warm, resonant Jumbo body
  • Satin finish with gloss top
  • Taylor Expression System with Neve-designed electronics

Taylor Guitar 315ce
A great performer onstage or in the studio, the Taylor 315ce Jumbo features a full 17" body width, an elegant gloss top, and a Venetian cutaway.Sapele back and sides and a Sitka spruce top provide a clear, balanced tone, while an abalone rosette, pearl "leaf" fretboard inlays, and gold Taylor tuners streamline the look.

Taylor Guitar 315ce: The Wood Defines the Sound
The Taylor 315ce's distinctive blend of sapele and Sitka spruce creates a bright, crystalline timbre with strong projection and warm overtones. The resulting combination provides the perfect guitar for both strong, rhythmic playing and warm, rich strumming.

Taylor Guitar 315ce Body Type: Jumbo
The Taylor 315ce Jumbo body delivers the extra-deep resonance and volume that come with a larger sound chamber together with its own signature subtleties. Revoicing has sharpened its tonal difference from the dreadnought. With a huge presence, the 315ce Jumbo is perfectly suited for aggressive strumming.

Taylor Guitar 315ce Finish
The finish used to create the 315ce's textured satin back and sides and lustrous gloss top was developed at Taylor for maximum durability and resistance to cold-checking. This ultraviolet-cured finish is also more environmentally friendly than traditional lacquer finishes. Available in natural finish.

Taylor Guitar 315ce Electronics
Designed to faithfully reproduce the 315ce's native tone, the Taylor Expression System utilizes patented Dynamic Sensors to capture top and string vibration like never before. Created in partnership with renowned audio pioneer, Mr. Rupert Neve, the Taylor ES is seamlessly integrated into the design of the 315ce from the ground up. Onboard tone controls provide added flavor, or set flat for an uncolored, exceptionally clean amplified sound.

Huge Jumbo Sound!

Music Background: Recording and Live Sound Engineer, Pro Musician
The Taylor 315ce is a wonderful Jumbo Acoustic-Electric guitar. This guitar produces a very full tone. The highs are bright and the lows BOOM. The mids are sweet in the mix when playing acousticall... read more [+]y. This guitar is loud, Loud, LOUD even without the ES system. Recording is a snap with this one also. I plugged in a balanced TRS-XLR cable between the guitar and my DAW and also used an AKG C1000S in front of the sound hole. The action is amazing, too. It took a little tweaking of the bridge, but this guitar plays as well as some of my electric guitars. Great tone, easy recording, great action and feel. Overall this is a wonderful guitar. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a quality Acoustic-Electric guitar. close [-]
