Overview
314ce, Left-Handed
Watch VideoAmong Taylor's best-selling models, the 314ce offers a quintessentially Taylor experience—all-solid tonewoods and an accommodating feel—bolstered by a trio of next-generation innovations designed to enhance tone, playability and plugged-in performance. These include a new variant of our V-Class® voicing architecture, a revolutionary neck joint design and a new proprietary pickup/preamp combo that tames the harshness of traditional piezos.
This versatile model boasts solid sapele back and sides paired with a Sitka spruce top in a gloss-finish Grand Auditorium body. The result is a punchy, shimmering midrange with vibrant trebles balanced by a warm, woody low end. Its tonal depth is enhanced by new scalloped V-Class bracing, which also increases volume, sustain and pitch accuracy. A slender, long-tenon Action Control Neck™ delivers signature Taylor playability and boosts low-end resonance. The groundbreaking design enables players to make easy, on-the-fly string height adjustments.
With a visual style to match its workhorse personality, this model features new Weathervane inlays in Italian acrylic, a firestripe pickguard, nickel tuners and black binding with black and white purfling. Whether you’re performing in the corner of a café or on a festival stage, onboard Claria System electronics make it easy to dial in your preferred amplified tone with soundhole-mounted controls. Plus, a hardshell case offers premium protection for storage and transport. All in all, the 314ce makes a strong case as the ultimate Swiss-army-knife guitar.

I found my forever acoustic guitar!
I heard about Next Generation Taylor guitars and stopped at my usual store to check it out. I played quite a few guitars there in the $1500 to $3500 price range to compare and the clear winner was the 314ce. It was very playable and hard to put down actually, it was nice and light, perfect 1.75" nut width detailed inlays, great action and a new feature, adjustable action at the neck heel. The tone, sustain and balance across all strings was incredible both played regular acoustic and plugged in sounded great too. Intonation was excellent all the way up and north of the 12th fret. Just an all around amazing guitar! I was so pleased, I just coudn't leave without it! A home run with Next Generation guitars Taylor!

Wonderful sound - a delight to play (Next Gen 314CE)
I moved up to this guitar from a 214 plus that I loved. I was curious but wasn't necessarily looking to buy, but then I played it. It took me maybe 15 minutes to know that this guitar was special in a way that I hadn't felt before when playing other Taylors and even other, higher end ones. I am thrilled with this guitar each time I pick it up. What they say about the tone is correct in my opinion. It has a wonderful presence and sustain. But for me coming from the 214, the biggest difference was playability and feel of the neck. The very slight difference (increase) in width of the fretboard was noticeable to me and fit my hand better. This is off the charts a wonderful guitar to me. There's nothing I'd change. Taylor hit the bullseye with this one. Great job!
