The Grand Auditorium 314ce is an acoustic workhorse that performs equally well in the practice room, recording studio, and on stage. This latest edition features our acclaimed V-Class bracing, a revolutionary innovation in acoustic sound that responds with greater musicality and harmonic agreement. Together with a solid Sitka spruce top and solid sapele back and sides, you can expect a balanced and articulate blend of top-end brightness, midrange fullness, and low-end warmth that accommodates an array of playing styles. The guitar ships in a deluxe hardshell case.

•  Grand Auditorium Shape - Taylor’s signature shape embodies the ultimate all-purpose acoustic.
•  Sitka Spruce Top Woods - The soundboard choice for most guitars, Sitka spruce produces a broad dynamic range and accommodates a versatile range of playing styles.
•  Sapele Body Woods - One of the best all-around tonewoods there is, sapele will deliver for any playing style.
•  Expression System 2 Electronics capture 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 guitar.
•  V-Class Bracing - A revolutionary design that balances the flexibility and stability of the top, V-Class bracing produces unmatched sustain, volume, and intonation.
