Features We Love:

Quality Woods

This 514ce boasts a handsome Torrefied Sitka Spruce top. Torrefied Spruce delivers a stunning tone that instantly evokes the feel of a decades old, played-in spruce top with the added richness that comes with years of playing. The back and sides are built from a stunning wood that's new to the Taylor portfolio - Urban Ironbark.

V-Class Bracing

Developed by Taylor’s Master Builder Andy Powers, this is an innovative new style of bracing. It tackles the issue of achieving sustain and tone without sacrificing volume. V-Class bracing allows the guitar’s top to move and vibrate in a more stable manner, resulting in more focus and response from the wood. This control means more volume and projection. The ‘V’ of the bracing travels the middle of the guitar, maintaining rigidity and lending sustain and resonance to your notes. V-Class bracing means a louder, richer sound with better intonation and response.

Expression System 2

This is widely recognised as one of the greatest acoustic pickup systems available. It translates every ounce of tone, detail and dynamic from your fingertips, strings and guitar wood. This gives the audience an accurate and fully realistic translation of your performance.
