The Taylor 50th Anniversary 314ce Ltd in Shaded Edge Burst is limited to 1,974, the year Taylor started! These Anniversary editions are proving to not only be beautiful, but tastefully appointed tone machines!
The 314 Edition has a Torrefied Spruce Top paired with Sapele back and sides. Sapele is a wood much like Mahogany but a bit harder. It's tones are much like mahogany but with a little extra treble response (if you have good ears).
Taylor's necks are some of the most consistent in the industry and this one feels very much like plenty of the other Taylor's we have in stock!
"The 50th Anniversary 314ce LTD elevates one of the world's best-selling U.S.-made acoustic guitars to new heights. Featuring a torrefied Sitka spruce top and solid sapele back and sides, this versatile Grand Auditorium produces a punchy midrange with a warm, woody low end to balance its sparkling trebles. Our V-Class bracing generates greater volume, sustain and harmony down the neck, while our special roasting process for the top adds a touch of aged-in depth and sweetness. We’ve enhanced the vintage character of the slightly darkened top with a subtle shaded edgeburst around the body and neck, while a firestripe faux-tortoiseshell pickguard adds a bold visual touch. Other aesthetic details include gold tuners and ebony bridge pins with gold acrylic dots. Like all 50th Anniversary Collection models, it features a celebratory limited-edition label, and production will be limited to 1,974 guitars worldwide. This model includes ES2 electronics and a hardshell case."
