Beautifully Designed Grand Auditorium from Taylor
One of Taylor's most popular lines, the 914 offers players incredible tone, playability, and comfort. The 914 features a Grand Auditorium body style, a solid Sitka spruce top, and rosewood back and sides — this legendary tonewood pairing produces stellar tone that is full, varied, and robust. The tropical mahogany neck with West African ebony fingerboard offers wonderful response and playability. To further ensure durability and enhanced tone, the 914 features Taylor's V-Class bracing — a reinvention in bracing that affirms Taylor's commitment in bringing guitarists the best playing experience possible — a commitment we really appreciate at Sweetwater.

V-Class bracing for incredible sustain and tone
The V-Class bracing on the 914 represents Taylor's commitment to exploring new approaches in design that improve tone, sustain, and durability. V-Class bracing is aimed at maximizing both the flexibility and stiffness of the 914 top — the location of your guitar that is the center of its reverberation. With V-Class, the flexibility of the top is at its highest, while stiffness along the middle of the guitar in the direction of the strings is optimized. Taken together, these two dynamics produce the 914 incredible tone, sustain, and resonance. Hear the difference V-Class bracing makes when you strum this guitar!
Classic tonewood pairing for stellar tone
For decades, the pairing of spruce and rosewood has captivated guitarists of nearly all genres. The tone touches on all the ranges with a full low end that lets the highs and midrange shine. Incredible appointments on the 914 include a West African ebony bridge, a Micarta saddle, a black graphite nut, and ebony pins — each adding to and supporting the stellar tone of this incredible acoustic. And with a tropical mahogany neck and ebony fingerboard, the tone and playability of the 914 are further expressed as you explore your own style.
