Overview
50th Anniversary 614ce LTD
Watch VideoThe 50th Anniversary 614ce LTD’s maple/spruce tonewood combination draws inspiration from the earliest guitars crafted by Bob Taylor. With its milky-hued transparent white finish, white edgeburst and rich gloss finish, this limited-edition cutaway Grand Auditorium introduces a visually captivating aesthetic to the Taylor line. Together, its solid Sitka spruce top and figured Big Leaf maple back and sides serve up a sophisticated voice that balances a clear, vibrant midrange with pleasing sonic warmth. V-Class bracing boosts volume and sustain while improving pitch accuracy all the way up the neck. The result is a highly player-reflective instrument that showcases each player’s individual style. Alongside the bold trans white/edgeburst treatment, this model boasts faux tortoise body and soundhole binding, green abalone Wings inlays, a single-ring abalone rosette and a mother-of-pearl peghead logo. All of our 50th Anniversary guitars feature a suite of celebratory appointments: gold tuning machines, ebony bridge pins with gold acrylic dots and a commemorative interior label. It ships with onboard ES2 electronics and a deluxe brown hardshell case.
Features
Grand Auditorium
Our flagship shape offers comfort and cross-genre utility, with a clear, balanced tone suited for both fingerstyle and strumming.
Maple
Highly player-reflective; channels the unique sound of each player’s touch. Clear, shimmering trebles. Modern voicing enhances warmth and depth.
Spruce
The most common top wood between Sitka, Adirondack and Engelmann varieties. Bold, clear, and dynamic sound suits any playing style.
Expression System® 2
The Expression System® 2 captures more of a guitar’s dynamic properties using a breakthrough behind-the-saddle design.
Venetian Cutaway
The Venetian cutaway is known for its soft, round lines. The sloping peak of the cutaway will vary depending on the shape of the body.
V-Class Bracing
Our patented V-Class bracing is a revolutionary new pattern — a new sonic engine — that marks a major shift away from traditional steel-string bracing patterns.

Love It!!!
I bought this guitar new from Retro Guitars here in Costa Rica.
It is of course awesome!!! However, the action was a bit high as I have found from most Taylor guitar over the past several years (it was not like that 20 years ago, action was always perfect on their high end guitars).
All said, I love it, If I could change anything it would be the tuners. The gold tuners are to gaudy and also they start to oxidize after only a short time even when kept clean after use. The Gotoh Black 510 tuners would complement this guitar much better, in my opinion.

Thank you for the great review. We’re so glad you love the guitar! In Costa Rica’s high humidity, action can rise if the guitar is exposed to excess moisture. When that happens, gradually acclimating the guitar back to the ideal 45%–55% RH usually brings the action back down to spec. If you ever receive a new Taylor with higher action there, over-humidification during shipping or storage is often the cause. We appreciate your feedback on the tuners as well. Aesthetics are personal, and we’ll share your comments with our product team. If you ever need help getting it dialed in, we’re happy to connect you with an authorized service center. Enjoy your Taylor!
One of my favorite acoustic guitars I played!
I toured for 10 years playing guitar and still produce/mix/master. That being said, I am always listening for harmonic qualities and thinking about how the guitar will record. I've recorded many different Taylors in the past however, I absolutely love the way this guitar plays and its noticeably balanced sound overall. It's bright but still full, not muddy at all in the midrange and has a perfectly present low end. The neck feels great and the action is pretty spot on across the neck. The trans-white is a great choice, would love to see flamed sides regardless. Reminds me of the trans-white firebird and would pair nicely on stage with that and a white falcon. Great job Taylor!

IM IN LOVE with my new 50th Ann. 614 !!❤️
The first time I encountered this guitar at my local music store -Winter Sound in Gloucester VA-
It literally stopped me in my tracks! I knew I had to somehow have it . A few weeks went by and I stopped by with my wife to show it to her. She totally surprised me by buying it for me.
One of the most visually striking guitars I have ever seen. My first Maple acoustic. The fit and finish are nothing less than what you would expect from Taylor . It has a beautiful tone , crystal clear ,crisp , yet warm as well. It responds to soft fingerpicking extremely well. And, when you dig into it with a pick it really packs a punch as well. The Expression 2 system is super nice also. I have had so many compliments on this guitar since I got it a month ago. About its obvious good looks, and the stunning sound. It is certainly worth every penny!! Thanks to my amazing wife for allowing this to happen. Thanks to Jim Winter at Winter Sound for always taking care of our local music needs . Taylor Guitars you are amazing!!

This Ghost Guitar Will Haunt You in the Best Way
Last month, I visited a music store in Nashville to try out some of the higher-end Taylors. As someone who had previously only played as high as the 200 series, I had simply planned to strum a few of the AD series guitars to inform a purchase down the line. I had no intention of buying a new guitar up anytime soon and certainly not one at this price point—at least until I picked up this gorgeous 614CE LTD.
As befits a guitar with a stunning, ghost-white edge burst, the sound of this 614 haunted me for days. I had always heard that maple was a brighter tonewood, but the revoicing on the big leaf maple in this guitar defied and surpassed all my expectations. I later went back to check out the guitar and compare it against several others, and none of them looked or sounded quite the same.
The 614ce LTD has a surprising amount of base, solid mids, and sparkly treble for notes that can stand proud on their own or combine for some seriously smooth chords. The instrument's appointments suit its attractive tone, and the trans-white edge burst lets you admire the wood grain while giving the guitar a unique aesthetic.
All in all, it's a dream guitar anyone would be lucky to own. Be warned! If you pick one up, you might not want to put it down. My only complaint is that Taylor doesn't sell a white leather guitar strap.
