A Special-edition Grand Auditorium with a Torrefied Top
The 50th-anniversary Taylor 314ce flaunts all-solid tonewoods, yielding outstanding top-end response and a natural, direct tone that's practically addictive. This special-edition acoustic-electric guitar's torrefied Sitka spruce top exhibits a bell-like sparkle and incredible dynamic range, and its sapele back and sides add a warm, full-bodied character to its overall sonic profile. You also get Taylor's vaunted V-Class bracing, which coaxes maximum acoustic resonance out of this guitar's Grand Auditorium-sized body. And when it's time to take the stage, you'll appreciate the natural-sounding plugged-in tone afforded by this 314ce's ES2 electronics. The 50th-anniversary Taylor 314ce includes a spotlight-stealing gloss finish with black binding, black-and-white purfling, and a 3-ring rosette, along with gemstone, Italian acrylic, and faux pearl fingerboard and headstock inlays.

Full-sounding Grand Auditorium-sized body
There's a solid reason why acoustic players everywhere reach for Grand Auditorium-sized guitars like the 50th-anniversary 314ce. This acoustic-electric guitar's comfortable narrow waist, rich, full range of sounds, sharp definition, and sleek look make it an excellent intermediate option for finger pickers and singer/songwriters who depend on a good-sounding, good-playing instrument night after night. What's more, its V-Class bracing, which includes a relief route, not only boosts volume evenly across the tonal spectrum but also increases sustain and improves the guitar's natural intonation by creating a more synergistic response from its soundboard.
A glorious tonewood cocktail
The 50th-anniversary 314ce's time-proven Sitka spruce top, which has been meticulously torrefied for enhanced tone, gives you cannon-like projection with just the right amount of sparkle. This acoustic-electric guitar's sapele back and sides also give it a warm and mellow quality, similar to that of mahogany, for a full and balanced tone. Sweetwater guitarists agree that the sapele's finish feels good in the hands and looks great under stage lights.
Natural, dynamic plugged-in tone
When you hit the stage with the 50th-anniversary 314ce, you'll be grateful for its natural-sounding Expression System 2 (ES2) electronics. This top-quality system showcases a 3-section proprietary pickup located behind the guitar's saddle for clear and accurate sound reproduction. A master volume control and a pair of tone controls permit you to tweak your sound and output from the stage, and a discrete phase switch supplies you with onboard feedback suppression — a must-have feature for every amplified application.
