Taylor 50th Anniversary Builder's Edition 314ce LTD

Crafted with hand-pleasing design features, an ear-pleasing tonewood pairing and a suite of celebratory appointments, the 50th Anniversary Builder’s Edition 314ce LTD offers exceptional comfort, playability, tone and aesthetics. This ultra-refined version of one of the best-selling U.S.-made acoustics boasts a bevy of comfort-enhancing features: a beveled armrest and cutaway, chamfered body edges and a contoured Curve Wing bridge. Urban Ash back and sides, responsibly sourced from Southern California, produce midrange power and balance akin to high-quality Honduran mahogany. Together with a solid Sitka spruce top, this model offers a warm, punchy midrange, crisp trebles and impressive low-end presence. The body sports a firestripe pickguard and our smooth, muted-sheen Silent Satin finish. Like other 50th Anniversary Collection guitars, this versatile cutaway Grand Auditorium features a commemorative label inside, ebony bridge pins with gold acrylic dots and premium Gotoh 510 antique gold tuners. It comes with ES2 electronics and ships in a Taylor deluxe hardshell case.

Features:

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 Guitar's legacy.

Grand Auditorium
Taylor’s signature shape embodies the ultimate all-purpose acoustic.

Urban Ash
Sourced from city trees in need of removal, Urban Ash produces midrange power and balance comparable to Honduran mahogany.

Sitka Spruce
The soundboard choice for most guitars, Sitka spruce produces a broad dynamic range and accommodates a versatile range of playing styles.

Expression System® 2
The Expression System® 2 captures more of a guitar’s dynamic properties using a breakthrough behind-the-saddle design.

Beveled Cutaway
Our beveled cutaway design provides a more player-friendly feel for guitarists who utilize every inch of the fretboard. It features a compound design with a smoothened edge along the corner of the body between the end of the cutaway and the neck heel, providing a more comfortable feel for the fretting hand.

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.
