When you’re ready to explore new tonal territory without sacrificing comfort or playability, the Taylor Next Generation Builder’s Edition 514ce is your guide to a more expressive acoustic experience. This forward-thinking model blends Taylor’s tradition of precision craftsmanship with innovative design elements, giving players a guitar that feels as inspiring in your hands as it sounds in the room. With its Grand Auditorium body and beveled cutaway, it’s built for versatility — equally at home in fingerstyle arrangements, strumming sessions, or live performance settings.
At the heart of this instrument is a unique tonewood pairing of Sitka spruce and Shamel ash, delivering a focused, woody midrange character with controlled overtones and a strong fundamental voice. This gives the 514ce a dry, articulate response that sits beautifully in a mix while still offering warmth and projection. Taylor’s scalloped V-Class bracing enhances sustain, volume, and tonal balance, while the innovative Action Control Neck allows for precise, tool-free adjustments to dial in your ideal feel. Comfort-focused details like the beveled armrest and cutaway make extended playing sessions effortless.
Visually, the Kona Burst top and full-gloss finish are complemented by elegant appointments like Compass inlays, a faux pearl rosette, and premium Gotoh 510 tuners. Equipped with Taylor’s Claria acoustic pickup system, this guitar translates its natural tone seamlessly to the stage or studio. Complete with a deluxe brown Taylor hardshell case, this next-generation acoustic is available right now at Haggerty’s Music.
