Overview

50th Anniversary AD14ce-SB LTD

Watch Video

The 50th Anniversary AD14ce-SB LTD embodies five decades of Taylor history. The Sitka spruce /walnut tonewood pairing traces back to Bob Taylor’s earliest guitars, many of which were crafted in the humble workshop that gave the American Dream Series its name. That combination yields a warm, woody midrange response with clear projection and articulation, enhanced with improved volume and sustain thanks to the V-Class bracing inside. Following the distilled, neo-vintage design ethos of its American Dream counterparts, this limited-edition model features chamfered body edges, clean Italian acrylic dot inlays, a firestripe pickguard and a thin matte finish with a hand-sprayed tobacco sunburst top treatment. This highly versatile Grand Auditorium includes a commemorative interior label and ES2 electronics. It ships with a lightweight, yet super-durable AeroCase.

50th Anniversary Label

50th Anniversary Collection

Celebrating five decades of guitar-making with special, limited-edition models crafted to showcase top-tier tonewoods, exquisite appointments, exacting craftsmanship and the innovative spirit that defines Taylor Guitars’ legacy.

Features

Grand Auditorium

Our flagship shape offers comfort and cross-genre utility, with a clear, balanced tone suited for both fingerstyle and strumming.

Walnut

Clear trebles with a woody midrange. Bass range grows warmer over time and play. Balances brightness and warmth.
 

Torrefied Spruce

Treated with our special roasting process, torrefied spruce tops deliver all the clarity, balance and projection you’d expect from a traditional spruce top with an extra dash of warmth and played-in depth.

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.

Did Taylor change from a regular spruce top to torrefied on the 50th anniversary model? Some websites like Sweetwater don’t mention this in their description. Thanks!

The 50th Anniversary model has always had a Torrefied top. The non 50th version of the model does not have a Torrefied top.

Is the sunburst a sticker like the gs mini?

GaryT9596

Best answer Bo S. Taylor Guitars staff

The sunburst on the AD14ce is hand-sprayed in our US factory. As an additional note, we do not use stickers for any of our finishes.

Open spore finish?

Best answer Josh M. Taylor Guitars staff

Our water based open pore finish offers a beautiful, natural aesthetic that highlights the wood's inherent beauty. This finish allows the wood to breathe, preserving its organic texture and unique character. It provides a warm, rustic charm, making each aspect of the guitar truly one-of-a-kind. The open pores add depth and dimension, showcasing the grain patterns and enhancing the tactile experience. Additionally, this type of finish is eco-friendly, often requiring fewer chemicals and less processing, aligning with sustainable practices and a more natural lifestyle.

Lovely to behold and lovely to play. The walnut is fairly uncommon making this guitar a bit unique . The sound is warm and woody. The sunburst top. Looks great !

Incredible sound, and sustain for a guitar in this price range!

5 out of 5 stars MikeD

I bought this a less expensive, second guitar, and WOW!!!! This sounds incredible! The neck took a little getting use to, it’s not the same as my “Catch” guitar. But a few chords later, this is amazing. The walnut and roasted spruce combination sounds epic!

The Bookend American Dream

4 out of 5 stars Jim G.

This guitar has it all. Projection, balance, articulation...Every note rings true, strumming or finger picking, all positions up the neck. The walnut provides a warm, even tone up and down the register with balanced highs, middles and lows. The tuners are precise and smooth and the matte finish is really nice.
I have 4 Taylors spanning 50 years of the development of the Taylor line and this guitar is my favorite.

I just got mine thru Sweetwater. Been anxious to get another guitar with walnut back and sides and this one is sounding better and better the more I play it! Great choice of tonewood for this model!
