The Taylor 314ce has been upgraded for 2026. The new upgrades include:

• Scalloped V-class Bracing
• Claria Under-Saddle Pickup
• Action Control Neck

Among Taylor's most popular models and one of the best-selling U.S.-made acoustic guitars on the market, the 314ce offers a quintessentially Taylor experience with all-solid tonewoods and an accommodating feel.

This Grand Auditorium boasts back and sides of solid sapele paired with a Sitka spruce top, producing a punchy, shimmering midrange with a warm, woody low-end character to balance its vibrant trebles. Scalloped V-Class bracing introduces a scalloped profile that unlocks a warmer low end and richer open-string resonance, while preserving the balance, pitch accuracy and projection that define V-Class.

The Action Control Neck refines the micro-adjustability of Taylor's standard neck design with a new shimless design that allows a player to make easy, quick micro-adjustments to dial in the string height for any situation. You don’t have to remove the neck or even the strings. 

The Claria Pickup System developed with extensive input from touring artists and live sound engineers, reimagines the under-saddle piezo pickup to deliver consistent plug-and-play acoustic tone in any setting. 

A firestripe pickguard and crisp white binding adding a touch of visual style to its workhorse personality, and comes with a hardshell case. The 314ce is the ultimate Swiss-army-knife guitar.

Note: After close inspection, this instrument has minor impressions on the low E string side of the top. (See pics, light reflections used to show wear)
