Stellar sonics from V-Class-braced Sitka spruce
Sitka spruce exhibits the perfect natural blend of detail and frequency balance, making it an absolutely no-doubt appointment as the top wood for the 314ce Builder’s Edition 50th anniversary. This wonderful evenness is further enhanced by Taylor’s exclusive V-Class bracing engineering underneath the spruce top, designed for a unique vibration that pushes greater volume, sustain, and tonal purity into the light. With beveling at the lower bout and cutaway, this acoustic is tailor-made for comfortable play.
A tonally responsive foundation so special deserves a well-playing neck to back it up, and that’s just what Taylor gave the 314ce Builder’s Edition 50th anniversary. Its mahogany neck receives an equally comfy standard carve neck profile. This instills a richness in resonance that’s complemented perfectly by a 15-inch radius Crelicam ebony fingerboard, boasting 20 frets marked by Taylor’s gorgeous compass inlays. Talk about an occasion for celebration!
Zero-hindrance hardware
The 314ce Builder’s Edition 50th anniversary guitar’s hardware and extraordinary attention to detail ensure that no hindrances in playability slip through the cracks. Gotoh 510 tuning machines finished in antique gold not only look superb, but also keep you sounding your very best throughout lengthy setlists and recording sessions alike. A Graph Tech black TUSQ nut encourages studio-grade and fabulously even string response with every note, chord, run, and bend. Down at the body, the naturally woody nature of the 314ce Builder’s Edition 50th anniversary comes to life thanks to a curved wing Crelicam ebony bridge with matching gold-dotted ebony pins. From the very first strum, Sweetwater guitarists can guarantee that this is the best you’ve ever sounded!
